Well, no. And it's wrong to say that it got amiibo Festival instead of a real AC game, it got Splatoon instead of AC. Amiibo Festival is just a game to sell amiibo, it replaces nothing.
The only chance that it happens is that they're porting a handheld NX AC to Wii U as a farewell gift. I see no chance that they will release new original games for Wii U after NX launch, but ports don't seem impossible to me. But don't get me wrong, I don't think that it is happening.
I have another prediction: future mainline Animal Crossing games will all be on handhelds and home consoles will only receive ports.
