Mario Kart 8 -- High expectations all around here. This is the most likely to drive up the baseline.
Bayonetta 2 -- Probably more of a niche, cult game. Likely will have a good weekly opening. Might be the title that makes some gamers go, "Oh what the hell, I'll get a Wii U so I can play this and also (fill in random Nintendo game here)". If it sells well enough, may give third party's confidence there is a market for mature games on the Nintendo platform. I don't think it'll considerably drive up HW though.
Hyrule Warriors -- If there's some compelling Zelda story in here and the gameplay is decent it may sell well -- temporary hardware bump.
Sonic Boom -- the AAA 3rd party exclusive Wii U needs most badly. This one is being made by former Naughty Dog and Infinity Ward folk. Sega's finally getting their act together with the Sonic brand with new toys and a TV show. Could be the catalyst that makes the WiiU a "must-buy" console for children and families and select few gamers.
Super Smash Bros. -- similar observations to MK8
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
