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".

With fact on mind that most of Switch announcements (including 3rd party) Nintendo is holding close to release, while on other hand SE always announcing game years in advance, chances are on SE side, also in same event they announced PS4 version of game also, not just NX version.

True, but Nintendo needed to get all the attention to the NX they could get, to make people see the system as a serious console competitor instead of just another WiiU. Getting SE to announce the title alongside the rest of the versions was a great way of getting the word out.
