I hope that Platinum can use this new delay time to just get rid of the gamepad screen altogether and give the graphics a decent boost with the freed up processing capacity. It made sense 2 years ago to try to make the second screen work back when Nintendo was still trying to justify the gamepad's existance. At this point, though, I don't think there's any shame in not utilizing the gamepad... we all know what the Wii U's future is at this point and I think a lot of fans would be happy enough to just have a sweet-looking HD Star Fox game.

The problem, as Soundwave has pointed out, that this is essentially a vanity project for Miyamoto, to allow him to save face by making a game designed around the Gamepad, instead of facing the fact that the Wii U's dual screen concept is a failure.
Any rational dev would long since have dropped the two screens gimmick, but Miyamoto sees the game's entire purpose as a platform to say "look, the Gamepad can be used for unique stuff" instead of just focussing on making a good game and then using Gamepad features if and when they make sense.
