Yeah, I can tell you the reason: they can't announce the "NX version (name subject to change)" before they officially announce that platform!

They could have waited for the NX to be announced before revealing the project, There were reasons behind that too.

You realise that they announced Zelda U in January 2013!? And early announcement of NX game for NX would even more weaker Wii U sales in meantime. Again, business logic.

Zelda U was announced in june 2014.

I don't think it is either, releasing a successor before the end of the year with little to no build besides maybe a big showing at E3 would be a disaster. If Nintendo is to recover not only the consumer confidence but that of other publishers, they have to make sure the system will have a strong line up and be capable of meeting developer expectations or gather their interest.

If Nintendo has just started showing off dev kits last year that is not enough time and they will fall into the same issues they had with the Wii U, older games because they made for fast ports and droughts as the teams try to iron out things in their games.

 


The PS4,X1 and I believe the 3DS were all realeased within the year of their annoucement, so they could easily have a event to reveal the NX before E3.Also,if I'm not mistaken, the PS4 devkits were sent a year before the release of the console so their is planty of time to port games to the system.

You don't know anything. Zelda U was announced in june 2014. Saying that a zelda game is in development is like saying a new mario is also in development. By your logic, ALL of nintendo's future hardware and many of it's software is already announced, because we know they're in development.

We already knew it was in development since SS was finished, does that mean it was announced in 2011? In 2013, nintendo openly said a new Zelda was being developed for wii u. In 2014, it was announced.

"Openly saying something is getting developed" is not an announcement?

It was announced in 2013, it was shown in 2014. These are two different things. 

Pikmin 4 was announced last year by Miyamoto. Nintendo has not shown it yet.
