Needs to drop the gamepad and sell it as a accessory.

If they want to do that, do you realise how much money they would need to invest in rebranding, marketing and patching loot of games that can be played only with gamepad, even some games cant be played without gamepad at all. It would be very complicated already very bad Wii U situation.

I don't know about Pokken, but Zelda is a pretty big deal. However it makes big difference if Zelda is going to be a cross gen title, but I really hope it is not. Wii U needs it's own Zelda game and Zelda being on NX would destory Wii U 2016 sales
