Perhaps the delay was partially on purpose. Maybe retro did want to do some more to the game and could of used time while Nintendo discussed the option of delay to help sales.
We all know there are a lot of games coming out, not just for Wii U, but 3Ds and third party titles too.
I suspect Nintendo doesn't want SM3D World or Donkey Kong TF to compete with each other in the holiday season.
