Prepare for hype Gaf.
All great points that I mostly honestly never considered. If I'm remembering right aiming did require you to look at the screen. I might be totally misremembering that, though. The one idea I had thought of was having the portraits on the screen but I was concerned people would freak if Nintendo went to the trouble of making it HD then made the screen too busy. But hey, it could happen. I'd be there day one.
That would be pretty big in my book, if that is it they should put it on NX.

I'm not so sure about that. Almost every iteration of Animal Crossing has had new elements introduced into them, so I have a hard time thinking that, that sort of game would be inexpensive to make, and on top of that there's also the localization time. That game is very text heavy, so when could we expect this Wii U game to come out? Even further, I firmly believe that the Animal Crossing franchise will go the DLC route that Splatoon and Mario Maker have taken with frequent updates. This is the kind of game that sells a lot, and it continues to sell over time. The Wii U is on the way out, so I would think releasing it would be a bad business decision.
Diddy Kong racing could work, but I'm pretty adamant about it taking too much from Mario Kart which is still being sold in bundles, if I remember correctly. I'd still love to play it, though. Actually, I'd prefer the merge their Mario Kart & Diddy Kong racing into one game that releases on the NX. I don't want Diddy to die at the end of the Wii U.
This is all, of course, going under the assumption that the NX will release relatively soon. If this game ever gets released, I can't see it being a big seller franchise. I'm more inclined to believe this will be a spin-off, perhaps a Mario Sport game.

I wish it was Mario Galaxy 3 by EAD Tokyo just so that people that mutter "it's nothing" would look foolish.

Probably Pikmen
Hopefully Animal Crossing
World of Dreams Pokemon
It's not Mother 4. Which, by golly, would be pretty cool post-UT. But then again I still have Mother 3 sooooo~
(What're peoples suggested method of playing a fan tran on mac?)

pre-leak announcements
what a time to be alive

That would be awesome. I would love to play it on the big screen.
Technically, it is unannounced. Lots of GAFers have said that Pikmin 4 is a NX game by now.
Anyhow, it makes sense that this is the late May title (like Splatoon in 2015, MK8 before in 2014), since that window hasn't a title. Twilight Princess was announced in November and releases in early March. An announcement of the May title now would make sense.
Nintendo isn't making the announcement, though.
Also, if it's a Wii U game and NX and its games are being unveiled at E3 (beyond just the concept/initial reveal I expect to see in March/April), it might get more buzz if it's announced before focus shifts to NX.
maybe it is the porting of the arcade game

Imagine if Nintendo Land would've had a Splatoon-like post launch expansion plan.. I wonder what kept them from it.

I almost though this was a serious post, well played.

Perfect.

Yeah, my money's on Animal Crossing, as a way to make sure people keep dipping into the amiibo pool.

Given the forthcoming release of a whole bunch of Animal Crossing amiibo (which seems a lot to only be compatible with a digital board game that hasn't sold particularly well) and the enduring popularity - in Japan, at least - of Isabelle, I'm going with AC Wii U.
Failing that, based on what's been said in the OP, another DKC game seems like a reasonably solid secondary bet. My third pick would be Kirby. Has its fans, isn't going to provoke a Federation Force-style fury, but will be a slight disappointment to most people all the same.
I would be quite surprised if it was F-Zero or Metroid at this stage, but you never know.

It's almost certainly Pikmin 4. That's no secret, despite not having been announced. It makes the most sense for a Wii U title. Development probably continued right from Pikmin 3 to capitalize on the long investment.

Paper Mario Wii U
Proper TTYD sequel
Paper Jam is but an infant. I have a feeling if we do see this it won't be for a long time.
Spinning the wheel'o'guesswork, it's landed on... Rhythm Heaven!
It's fairly cheap; it's got a fanbase, it's bound to disappoint people who are expecting a new Metroid Prime or something, but definite appeal beyond that. And it's a handy riposte to that recent "Where's WarioWare" thread!

Nintendo are getting lazier and lazier with their boxarts..
Not a party game or minigame collection, so I don't think Rhythym Heaven or WarioWare will be it.

Would NST really be making another Mario vs DK game when they have...another Mario vs DK game waiting in the wings?
.....yeah actually I could believe this.
When the game is revealed:
Gotta make Wii U look strong
Were there recent DKCR rumors? I missed those. (Unless you meant the GfK survey, which was debunked pretty thoroughly, at least in terms of providing any kind of reliable intel.)
