This is just dumb, I don't know what they are thinking. People know the NX exists, and Nintendo knows that the people know the NX exists. So why no letting us know which games are coming to the NX? It's not like we are suddently going to know every piece of info there is to know about the NX.

Actually, there are two reasons they wouldn't like this. The first, more tame one would be that they don't want NX becoming a brand when they won't be calling it the NX. Remember, we here are the minority, the highly informed. The plebs who just watch trailers are the concern with branding and such.
But much more importantly, they don't want developers who don't have devkits making promises they don't even know if they can keep. If they let every tom, dick, and harry claim their new game is going to be on the NX and then half of them don't follow through for reasons like lack of funding, ran out of time, etc etc, it will create the appearance of mass abandonment. That and it's just always poor form to say "hey, our product will be on this device we know nothing about."
