"No real Mario or DK"? Seriously? Wii U got two "real" Mario games: New Super Mario Bros U and Super Mario 3D World, both of which were quite good. 3D World in particular was an amazing 3D platformer. Donkey Kong Country Returns Tropical Freeze is one of the best games in the franchise. These are "real" games. Given that DKCRTP didn't sell especially well, and Retro Studios will likely be working on another Metroid for the NX, I doubt we'll be getting another one for awhile. A new Mario is pretty much guaranteed, though a new Mario that you would consider a "real" Mario game is not. It could be in the vein of 3D World, Galaxy, 64, a side scroller, or something completely different.

I'll be surprised if Wii U doesn't get a last minute release of a traditional Animal Crossing game. Between the app and the party game I've felt they've been building up to it. But if Wii U doesn't get it, NX definitely will. A new Metroid was all but confirmed for NX, if it's coming any time soon at all. F-Zero seems to be the least guaranteed. There was apparently an attempt to make one for the WIi U's launch, and I imagine that Nintendo's waiting for the right idea and/or developer to come along.
