Not only is a Tuesday release plausible, it's probable. Every major media release is Tuesday - or at least was.
Most major video games still come out on Tuesdays (FF15 just came out on Tues Nov 29, Pokemon SUMO was a recent notable exception however), albums USED to come out on Tuesdays until about 2015 when they switched to Fridays. Major DVD releases still come out on Tuesdays. There was like a 95% chance this game was coming on a Tuesday even without a release date.
Seeing as it's Q1 2017 and March is as far into Q1 as it gets, this date is super believable.

Edit: This is just rambling now, but I did some more digging for fun in case people didn't want to take the Tuesday release being normal at face value -
Some best selling games and their release dates
GTA 5 - Tuesday September 17th, 2013
Diablo III - Tuesday May 15th, 2012
Call of Duty MW3 - Tuesday November 8th, 2011
Skyrim - Tuesday June 4th, 2013
Battlefield 3 - Tuesday October 25th, 2011
The list goes on like this. Actually something I noticed during this is that Nintendo just does not care what day of the week the game goes out on. In the last decade I found dates for Nintendo best-sellers launching on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and even Sunday. So there's that! Games release on Tuesday, and Nintendo makes up release dates as they please.
Make the forum great again.
