On the account of demo, I wonder what prompted them to release one so early. Gauging interest?
Sure, Nintendo knows they have a new appealing RPG hit on their hands. It just didn't got the attention that other Switch games got. It is a new IP and now that it's coming together for release in 2018, Nintendo took the opportunity to put it into the spotlight in the Nintendo Direct, and then followed it up with an early access demo so the game can reach everyone. It's great to see Nintendo supporting and marketing it, but that's no wonder as they're localizing and publishing it as if it was one of their own games.
Thankfully, every time Nintendo buys up a 3rd party game for exclusivity, it's in the eagle-eyed testing hands of the "Mario Club" and will be a very polished experience.
