If Zelda Wii U really is canned then NX better have the following within the first two years for their longtime Nintendo fans:

1. Metroid Prime
2. 3D Mario (not isometric 3D World)
3. An amazing Mario Kart 9 or 8 remaster
4. An amazing Smash Bro remaster
5. Splatoon 2 without the staggered dlc option for friend matches or private lobbies

If not, these fans will lose faith in Nintendo home consoles and will simply never buy their console within its first two years or jump ship.

Thank goodness Xenoblade X is still here.

Nintendo doesn't even want to make a serious Metroid game.  They might find someone to farm it out to again but I can't imagine them ever positioning it as an important franchise.  They should just go ahead and make it a Mario game where he takes up the armor to rescue Samus, who is being held captive.  It could be something like Mario X Megaman.  I think Nintendo would be much happier with that.

The next Nintendo home console definitely needs that BIG HUGE UBER-MARKETABLE Mario 3D game, though, and early enough that they can have a sequel in the same gen.  Splatoon 2, where they go all out on features and advertising, is absolutely vital.  They need to be working on that right now.
