I think it depends on how Nintendo wants to go at it IF it goes third-party, since it's unlikely to happen anytime soon due to their financial status overall. Remember, Nintendo's first party games are what they are because of their integration with the hardware Nintendo builds for them. Nintendo knows their hardware inside and out and can find ways to create unique experiences because of that familiarity. Would Wii Sports or Mario 64 be what they are if they were on traditional consoles outside of Nintendo's? Probably not. How Splatoon since it has integrated features on the GamePad (ability to see the map and keep score, find teammates for squid jumps, and the motion controls for intuitive shooting and aiming)?
