A new Earthbound for 3DS I think could work. Wii U with a small userbase/higher budget probably isn't a great fit though, but 3DS with an install base north of 60 million in a couple of years ... yeah sure.
It's a unique kind of property that probably was ahead of its time back in the 90s, but today I think something with that type of humor/charm could find some more traction nowadays.
Wave Race - Wii U (retail); NST or another Western dev.
F-Zero - Wii U (eShop only) $29.99
Punch-Out! - 3DS (retail); Next Level Games
Luigi's Mansion 3 - Wii U (retail); Next Level Games
Star Fox - Wii U (retail); Platinum Games or Retro Studios
Earthbound - 3DS (retail); Nintendo
Kid Icarus - Wii U (retail); Platinum Games + Sakurai if Star Fox is a no go
Wario platformer - 3DS (retail); Japanese studio.
Diddy Kong Racing Returns - 3DS (retail); Monster Games?
Advance Wars - 3DS; eShop only.
Would be how I'd divvy up the currently unknown Nintendo IP. I'd probably give Mistwalker another shot with a new RPG too.
