I wouldn't be surprised if Final Fantasy DID come to WiiU. After all, Square-Enix isn't so against Nintendo these days, and they're giving them DQX. Plus WiiU no longer has the weaknesses that Wii had. Added to which, the director of FFXIV said that he was interested in porting that title to WiiU after finishing the PS3 version.
As for my choices: Kingdom Hearts is most likely, again because of Square-Enix's close ties with Nintendo. As for niche JRPGs, WiIU needs to have the big games first. Only then can smaller projects sell. Ideally, selling them on eShop would arguably be all the better.
Grand Theft Auto V is a bit iffy, as is Metal Gear Solid, but if Nintendo is really serious about going after both of those audiences, then they'll have to convince both Rockstar and Konami. Luckily there have been good reports that Nintendo is in favorable talks with both, so maybe we'll see them.
Mass Effect Trilogy may probably be a lost cause; after all nobody really bought Mass Effect 3 on WiiU. Unless EA steps up their game.
Resident Evil is a definite because Capcom and Nintendo are close. The recent rumor does have some credibility, but Capcom might very well be trying to do something original with the RE franchise for WiiU, not just another port. But it remains to be seen. Resident Evil 5 & 6 would be nice to have. Controversial both those titles may be, I still would be curious to play both.
Tales will happen eventually. Namco is working with Nintendo on Smash Bros 4. We'll see it, but probably more in the latter half of the WiiU's cycle, not the first half.
Castlevania will eventually come to WiiU; just because we aren't getting "Lords of Shadows" doesn't mean we won't be getting CV. For all we know, Konami could very well be looking at how to create this title for WiiU. They know that there is an audience for it on Nintendo. I'll cough up the Lords of Shadows 2 incident as a case of budget constraints and lack of manforce. Besides, CV will be out of Mercury Steam's hands after LoS2 wraps up.
