2DS in Japan
New Wii U model (like the PS3 Slim)
QOL Platform
Maybe a new peripheral (balance board style)

That is pretty much all we will see over the next few years

Be interesting to see 2DS in Japan, the rest tho are total wildcards, save for WiiU slim which would do nothing. I also think it's highly unlikely, Nintendo don't do redesigns to boost system sales and nobody would rebuy.

Wii U Slim would reduce production costs and allow for a relaunch of sorts. It wouldn't "save" Wii U of course but it would give a temporary boost and reduce costs so it couldn't hurt. 
I don't necessary think it will happen, I just think it should and there is a chance...
