Just off the top of my head ...
Super Mario Galaxy 3 - EAD Tokyo wrapped on Mario 3D World in fall 2013, given that it takes them on average about 2 years to deliver a new 3D Mario, summer/fall 2016 should be more than overdue for a new 3D Mario.
Animal Crossing Next - IMO this skips the Wii U. Nintendo themselves admits the series works better on handheld and it sells much better on handheld. Could be a no brainer launch title for the NX fusion concept.
Luigi's Mansion 3 - Next Level wrapped LM2 in March 2013 ... they haven't delivered Nintendo a game in quite some time (that's almost 2 years ago now). Whenever Nintendo sells 3+ million of any game, a sequel is almost always immediately greenlit ... remember when people though Nintendo would let the DKC series rest for Metroid Prime 4? Nope, Retro was put right back on another DKC, which is pretty much Nintendo's standard operating procedure.
Mario Kart 9 - Might be more of a reach for 2016 ... but not impossible. Nov/Dec 2016 launch would give them 2 1/2 years of development time, which is about the same gap of time between MK7 and MK8.
Ignoring the elephant in the room which might also be the next Zelda launching for both NX and Wii U, like Twilight Princess did.

That isn't enough to entice gamers to go out and buy the console in a mad rush. This will only get the core buying it.
They need a FPS, a racing sim, sports games. RPG, and so on ontop of that list to give enough variety to entice people.
If your list is the launch window then the system is doomed from day one.

Monster Hunter 5 could be ready by that fall too but the other types of games you're looking at really ... it's up to Nintendo if they want to pick up the phone and have a talk.
I suspect if its a Fusion concept some developers like EA and Activision may come back and give it an OK shot, because you'll be able to make essentially one game and then sell it to both Nintendo handheld and home audiences, so there's probably some appeal there.
Zelda NX, Mario Galaxy 3, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 3, maybe something smaller like F-Zero from Nintendo
Monster Hunter 5, FIFA, Madden NFL, Calladooty NX Ops, Yokai Watch 4, LEGO Star Wars: Force Awakens, from third parties.
That honestly would be overkill for a launch but it's not impossible either if Nintendo really wanted to do it.
