Not a lot of titles if we're being honest. Pokken could be huge but Zelda is the only known biggie and Pikmin has no comfirmed platform. Nintendo has presumably learned from the Wii not to leave consoles for dead for a good 12/16months before introducing a new platform, typically a swan song or 2 arrive on a transitional year so thats quite normal. Beyond that most people believe that the NX will also absorb the Wii U's last few games whether that be through ports or backwards compatability.
Sonys 2013 was more baffling with The Last of US, God of War Accension, Puppeteer, GT6 and Ratchet Nexus all launching exclusively on PS3 the same year the PS4 was arriving. The Nintendo equivalent would be having Zelda, Mario Kart 9 and Metroid Prime 4 is scheduled for next year... Thats not whats happening.
Anyway I'm now along the lines of thinking that the NX is just a Wii U spec handheld that can be docked. Essentially its not the Wii U's successor, just a rebranded, portable and slightlly cheaper replacement since it'd be using mordern mass manufactured components. This means by supporting one, Nintendo is supporting both; so the Wii U would continue to receive support beyond 2016 but hardware wise will just see Nintendo try and phase it out and replace it with NX handheld.
