I can understand many reasons for there not to be a Direct in March, but do you really think a Direct would take sales or marketing or messaging away from Animal Crossing? I think the hype levels for AC:NH are about as high as they can be and there's almost no lukewarm reception to the title (outside those who "aren't into" the series). Holding off a Direct for a week isn't likely to sway uninterested buyers anyway. The only way I can see this having merit is if something is releasing super quick (like in April or early May) that would make an AC fan flinch since they might not be able to buy both. But, my gosh, this is Animal Crossing we're talking about here. Whatever else is coming can wait...gotta get that island started right away.

Can you think of a time they released a general ND a week or two before the launch of any other big game? Ever?

I'm assuming you're speaking the truth, but I haven't looked it up yet. Isn't there an investors meetup coming up soon? So the window would be the week after? Or are we assuming Nintendo will just report to investors (in this global climate) with empty hands and big promises for the rest of the year? None of this is meant confrontationally. It just seems weird to be holding their cards this close to their chest even with those with the most at stake.
