Even though I usually blame SE too with their thing of announcing games way too early, I'm willing to bet Nintendo is the one to blame on this one. After all, at the time of the announcement they were just phasing out the WiiU and everything seemed bleak for the company, so announcing such a big title for the mysterious successor console was a great way to establish consumer confidence.

This was also SE announcment not Nintendo one, most of Nintendo Switch announcements were less than year announcements.

I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo ask them to include the NX in the announcement. After all, companies were pretty tight lipped about the system, and SE just clearly announced one of their biggest games for the system with no problem. I bet Nintendo asked them to announce it, and SE just went "okay".
