Will the next big Mario Game Miyamoto has teased come to Wii U?

The only reason they are doing Zelda on Wii U, (if they even still do) is because they promised it for that console so many times and don't want to incur the wrath of their core fans. The next big Mario game was never promised for Wii U, so it makes no sense to release it there.

Not if the install base isn't there. If the option is to try to sell it to 4 mil on NX or 17 mil on NX + Wii U, it would kind of only make sense. 

Wii U would not offer a substantially bigger player base though, because by the time NX is out, Wii U will be effectively forgotten, people will have either sold their Wii U consoles or stowed them away in a box in the attic. They'd gain very few sales by adding a Wii U version, and they would be limiting the ability of such games to move NX hardware, which is much more important to Nintendo's future.
