Well their criteria takes out a lot of choices:

- No M: So we get lowered to E, E10+, and T rating as possible games

- AAA game: So no indies.

- Biggest Project Ever: We can throw out shovelware and small series out of this. Something with a E rating could also get thrown out the window, since aside some of Nintendo's games, E-rated games are not that big.

- From a top notch publisher: Well this makes it tricky, since the majority of developers publish their own games, though some like Square Enix are also known as publishers for other companies, like them being the publisher for CoD in Japan, and by what rumors say, are publishing Street Fighter V.

- Not "hardcore": Was that specificially what they say? Or was it more around the levels of them meaning not "hardcore" like Deus Ex and Mass Effect 3?

- A port that sounds like a complete rework of the game for Wii U.

- Coming out this year: So no FFXV or KH3 

To say the true, this criteria only takes my mind to one thing, and one thing alone, the Kingdom Hearts ReMIXes, it fits all the bills, well depending on what they meant about "not hardcore", it is not a M rated game, it is a "AAA" game, big projects since it is 2 collections of games, from a top-notch publisher(Square-Enix), and any game would fit the rework criteria, since the game would had to be rework because of the Gamepad, but there are two little things that make that rework part to make more sense for the collections if they ever hit Wii U, and those two little things are:

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded

The two KH DS games were putted in the collections just as movies, because the PS3 didn't had a way to recreate the touch screen parts of the games, and reworking KH 358/2 Days to work in PS3 would had taken around a year or more by what Square Enix said, now the Tantalus port has been going on for quite awhile, the rumor began in 2012, but the development was said to have began in January 2014, well for a "AAA next-gen title" though it is unknown if it is this, but the case is, that a year has passed and that would be enough to recreate KH 358/2 Days, then they would just have to recreate some parts of KH Re: Coded, since they can just use the models of the other games for it.

But the most important thing suggesting it could be Kingdom Hearts, is that Nomura promised us 1 KH game per year, and it is already March, and we do not know of any KH games coming out this year, and Square Enix usually reveals it 1 year before release, but this time nothing, but as Nintendo is connected to this, and they either reveal games way before release or just some months away from release, then that changes things a lot.

Kingdom Hearts DDD HD is already heavily implied as we saw at the end of 2.5 Remix. That's far more likely to be the KH game coming out this year than a Wii U port of the previous ReMIX games which by the way wouldn't make much sense without KH3. We'd see the collections on the XBO before the Wii U if SE had any will to port them.

Though if that is the case, what is  Square Enix waiting to announce it? The collections have been released the year after the reveal, why would this get a different treatment? Not only that, but for which console would it even be? Kingdom Hearts 3D has the Dream Eaters and playing with them, as one of the focuses of the game, without a touch screen, it wouldn't work, so the only fit would be Wii U, and only releasing it on Wii U without the collections would look quite bad. 

Yeah, there is no sense to release them in a console that is not getting KH3, but Nintendo consoles has still being home to half of the Kingdom Hearts series, there is a fanbase there, a fanbase that has missed the collections, and that even though are not receiving KH3, should still receive the collections for being part of what has made Kingdom Hearts what it is.
