I dont see how year and half after launch of NX could be too late for Splatoon 2!? And if Nintendo wants they can make Splatoon 2 for holiday 2017, but that would be only two years and half after previous game. Also there is no much sense to realase Splatoon 2 in 2018 if they relase Splatoon Wii U on NX at end of 2016.

MK9 could easily come at end of 2017. or in 2018.

Splatoon I think struck a nerve with a new generation of gamers in Japan, specifically those who maybe don't even care about Mario or Zelda or Nintendo's 30 year old franchises. As in younger kids/millenials who did not grow up in the 80s/90s. 

So I think if they want those kids to stay engaged with Splatoon ... the earlier the better. May 2017 even would be like two years after Splatoon 1, that's plenty of time, I think Splatoon Remaster/1.5 or whether they make a full blown sequel will have a lot of content from the first game anyway (arenas and weapons) because not everyone will have had the chance to play the first game. 

Yes, if they port Splatoon it will be mostly because Japan market, but if Nintendo really wants to push Splatoon, they can make Splatoon 2 redde for 2017. holiday season, so there is no need for Splatoon Wii U port.
