Some of these suggested ports don't make much sense or have been ruled out. With Mario Maker and Pikmin 3 it makes more sense for Nintendo to make new entries, given 3DS got its own version of Mario Maker, so I would expect Switch to get one too. Pikmin 4 has been talked about in the past as nearly finished - so it may be ready to launch any time soon. Nintendo have already ported one Wii U Mario game this year, so I think that rules out 3D World. Xenoblade Chronicles X has more or less been ruled out by Monolith Soft themselves given the scale and expense of porting it.

I could see the HD Zelda remasters coming at some point - but several journalists and 'insiders' are expecting a 2D Zelda this year, so that potentially rules them out for 2019.

I think the next Wii U port will be Wonderful 101. It was hinted at by Platinum last year and they've said they will have a busy 2019. We shouldn't rule out seeing more than one Wii U port later this year - but I don't think the list above are especially strong candidates.

There's definitively a ton of options to pick. Hell, even 3rd party ports could work, Zombie U would work if it had the option of using two switches to simulate the two screens.

Though I would really like a SMT x FE and a Xenoblade Chronicles X port.

Or just port the ps4/xbox version of Zombi

I owned/beat every Wii u game I wanted to play and have no interest in seeing another port this generation. If it happens it happens. Now if they wanted to port over some GC or Wii games in hd, than I would be interested!

I'd already sold my Wii U by the time Tokyo Mirage Sessions came out, I'd definitely pick it up on Switch.

As much as I love Pikmin, I don't know if I'd grab 3 again, it's my least favourite in the series and my disappointment would be massive if that was the next release

Just out of curiosity what about it makes it your least favorite? I'm just wondering because this in an opinion I haven't heard much. Usually  I Hear people say that Pikmin 2 is their least favorite.

Scrap Marok Maker and turn it into a Zelda Maker.

Oh, I actually would be on board with this. Also this can be used to utilize the 2D prototype they made for Breath of the Wild. This adds physics to classic 2D Zelda.

Yeah I’d like to have the MARIO 3D world, Zelda WW/TP(skyward sword would be the icing) and Mario maker if they don’t plan to do a sequel(id like to see a 2D Zelda maker).

Really?? 2 is by far my favourite (and third favourite game of all time). The atmosphere of 3 more than anything was lacking to me. 2 had incredible world building through the entries about the treasures, Louie's recipes and the letters to and from home, 3 didn't really have any at all, the mains had personality, but weren't as interesting as Olimar and Louie to me.

Super Mario 3D World - Don't this will ever get ported, personally.
Xenoblade Chronicles X - Would be hard as the gamepad had a huge secondary application in this game that the Switch can't do.
Super Mario Maker - No cause SMM2 will be on Switch, IMO.
Zelda WW / TP - Both, one 2019 and another 2021 (2020 will be an HD Zelda new game like Between Worlds).
Pikmin 3 - Wasn't Pikmin 4 supposedly completed a long time ago and they pushed its release back? Not sure why'd they'd bother with 3 if they can release a new game.
Other - Possibly Paper Mario Color Splash in order to further justify making more Paper Mario games? It sold way less than the other games. I don't want another Color Splash/Sticker Star, but I'd rather have one of them than no Paper Mario at all. I NEED PM!
No Wii U port anymore - I think 2019 and probably 2020 will still see Wii U ports, but after that I think they will be done.

Super Mario 3D World is definitely gonna happen. It might be the best Wii U exclusive so they probably wanted to pace out the notable games, not drop them all in a short window.

I imagine an update version of Mario Maker could happen.

Anyhoo, some of these ports will just happen because they're critically acclaimed already and easy to port. Wii U also had abysmal sales so it would just be wasting them by not making ports.
