It won't. Handheld version next year, console version 2017. People keep forgetting that Nintendo said they wont show 2016 Wii U games this E3.

They said that they would show early 2016 WiiU games, but they didn't. The only new WiiU games they announced are both 2015! Maybe Mario Tennis gets delayed? I don't know anymore..

Early 2016 probably means the last quarter of the 2015 fiscal year, or up until March 2016. If this year and last year proved anything, Nintendo could have a very sparse first half of 2016 and a compacted second half (including Zelda U.) They'll announce NX handheld and console for releases late 2016 and mid -> late 2017 respectively, and work on releasing a final wave of Wii U games to show that they support their platforms (one of the things that killed Wii U is that the Wii had a two year drought with literally five or so games before it was released.) 

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem was announced for 2016, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of their five or six games releasing this Fall/Winter is delayed (hopefully not Xenoblade X.) Furthermore, Nintendo could always have a direct some time this year announcing games. They've done it before. E3 the last few years has been quite a small event for announcements, and it is quite interesting that the other manufacturers had huge bombshells considering how it has been the last few years. 

Also did they say specifically that they will announce 2016 Wii U games or did they say they will announce 2016 games with no preceding adjective? Because they did announce quite a few 3DS games for 2016.
