Splatoon 1.5 or Splatoon 2 will be there for NX in 2017 ... that I would bet on.
Splatoon is the only franchise I've seen in Japan that's been able to increase Nintendo's *console* sales for an extended period of time since Wii Sports/Fit, which are now going on 8-10 years ago.
There's no way Nintendo is not going to make Splatoon on NX a huge, huge priority specifically for the Japanese market.
All the Mario/Zelda in the world doesn't impress Japan anymore for consoles. Splatoon is on the verge of breaking out there like Monster Hunter on the PSP.
Because the Wii U got its legs cut off and Japanese people can't even buy Splatoon anymore in large quantities due to Wii U inventory being bled dry, they have to give people a way to enjoy Splatoon on NX. Remake, sequel, semi-sequel, whatever. It will be on NX and probably very early in the life cycle. Bet on it.
