How likely is in your opinion a Zelda U port on the next Nintendo home console ?

So the issue I've always had with this theory is that it would mean either the game releases in 2017, or NX launches in 2016. I always assumed (and still do) that NX would launch in 2017, so if Zelda U launches in 2016 it wouldn't really make much sense to port it. For Twilight Princess, it came out for the GameCube just a couple weeks after releasing for the Wii. If Zelda U comes out for NX a year after launching on the Wii U, I don't really see what the point would be, and hence believe it to be unlikely.

Then from a business stand point, why don't they make a 3D mario game in the vein of Galaxy and and make that multigen? It seems they would make a LOOOOOOOOOT (I mean it is honestly not even remotely close) more money that way. We can pretty much assume one of those is in the works too.

Big difference is that for 3D Mario game they need around 2 years to development but for Zelda they need almost twice of that time, so much more development time and resources than Mario game, so from that standpoint Zelda is good choice for porting, especially if installed base is low like Wii Us.

New 3D Mario is almost certain for NX launch, but next Zelda after Zelda U will probably come around 2019, Nintendo can easily make another 3D Mario game before another Zelda come.
