While I think it highly unlikely and, personally, quite devastating, this is how I'd like things to shake out:
Super Mario and Donkey Kong go to Michel Ancel and his team at Ubisoft Montpellier. They've proven they can turn out brilliant 2D and 3D platformers.
The Legend of Zelda goes to Retro Studios, assuming the studio can support itself independently after Nintendo's imaginary bankruptcy. Retro Studios has demonstrated a mastery of the action-adventure formula, plus it now includes former staff from Vigil, which worked on the Darksiders series. If Retro falls along with Nintendo, then JAPAN Studio would be my second choice.
Metroid goes, again, to Retro, but assuming its closure, I'd hand it over to Konami and hope for the best.
F-Zero could have gone to Studio Liverpool, but Sony shuttered it in 2012. So it could either go to Firesprite, Liverpool's spiritual successor, or Shin'en or Sega.
Star Fox is a tricky one, but I think I'd want it to go to Yukio Futatsugi at Grounding Inc.
Pokemon to Level-5.
Fire Emblem to Atlus.
Animal Crossing to Natsume.
