Metroid Prime 4 - Obvious why
Animal Crossing U - This would definitely help boost a lot of units
Yokai-Watch U - Now THIS would save the Wii U in Japan at least. Like it would sell pretty damn amazing. (Yokai-Watch is selling better than Pokemon in Japan. Not sure if it will sell great in the west, but it would boost Wii U in Japan)
Pokemon Red/Blue HD remake - This would boost sales practically everywhere
Nintendo making a deal with Capcom to release an exclusive Wii U Monster Hunter. If it was Monster Hunter 5, it would no doubt boost a ton. Especially in Japan.
EDIT: I am not asking for what is possible, what won't happen, what might be possible etc.
I am not asking if it would be better for Nintendo to save these for the Wii U's successor or not.
All I am saying with this post is what the Wii U needs in order to be saved. Regardless of probability.

None of those games are bigger than mario kart 8/ smash Wii u. Monster hunter 5 is the only game there that would appeal to non-nintendo fans, so it is the only one of those games to actually make an impact in hardware sales.
The only game that can "save" the wii u is mario maker, as it seems to be the best gamepad centric game, with a huge ip, with a big concept of player creation. However, by "save" I mean on track to be more than 3/4 of gamecube'a lifetime sales. At this point nothing can make the wii u catch up to Xbox one let alone ps4

Animal Crossing has sold more than Smash in Japan and almost WW. Smash Wii U was at a disadvantage due to a 3DS version being released. It would have another 2.5m sales or more if there was no 3DS version.
Metroid would give a boost in NA and Europe. Not a huge one, but good one.
