Tanabe basically confirmed there is no Metroid Prime game from Retro in development, if they were to start now it would take 2-3 years to develop and would have to be for the NX according to him. So that's out. 

Paper Mario U? I'd say maybe. 

Mario Kart 9, The "Real" Animal Crossing, Mario 3D (Mario Galaxy 3?) are in development for NX right now I would guess. Splatoon 2 for NX probably is underway already too, the sales are strong so that's a no-brainer. 

I think there some trues about all that rumours about Diddy Kong Racing 2, probably will be launch title for NX, so I dont think that Mario Kart 9 is now in devolpment, but new Mario 3D game certainly, probably Pikmin 4 too, F-Zero..I dont think they start working on Splatoon 2 yet because they still developing content for first game and they still analysing what exactly can they do with Splatoon 2 in comparison with first game.

Paper Mario is posible for Wii U.

Diddy Kong Racing would probably be handled by SPD 3, and outsourced to another developer. However, I don't think it's being made by Retro (or better said: I hope not!). Maybe a collaboration between Monster Games and Paon? That would mean Retro could have their hands on another Nintendo franchise.. or they're making something brand new (which would be my guess).

With regards to Splatoon, I'm guessing a small team is working on the blueprints for the next game on NX, while the rest of the team is providing content updates and DLC.
