As we slowly get the (Nintendo) Wii U titles ported to the switch, let's have some fun with predicting when the rest of the library will show up.
  • Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival - Since we got a new (superior) entry on the Switch I can't imagine they would bring this over.
  • Legend of Zelda, The: The Wind Waker HD - I can't imagine they will keep this trapped on the Wii U but I could be wrong.
  • Legend of Zelda, The: Twilight Princess HD - Same as above. Personally I would love this on the Switch.
  • Paper Mario: Color Splash - Since we got a new entry on the Switch I can't imagine they would bring this over.
  • Wii Sports Club: The Switch joy-cons work like the Wii remotes so I could see this coming over, but odds are it won't.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X: As the rest of the series is on Switch I can't help but feel like it will show up on the Switch eventually.
  • Yoshi's Woolly World: This has already been ported to the 3DS, I can't see them porting it again.
These games I doubt they would port as they are very specific to the Wii U GamePad:
  • Game & Wario: I don't see this getting a port as it's too much of a niche game. Maybe we'll get a new entry in the series?
  • Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: This was a great game but I think it will forever live on the Wii U.
  • Mario Party 10: I'm thinking we'll get a new Mario Party in 2019. *UPDATE* We got a new entry for the Switch which is decent!
  • Nintendo Land: While this was fun little game, no chance of it coming to Switch...instead we got 1-2-Switch :(
  • Star Fox Zero: My gut says this will die on the Wii U because of it's lack luster reviews and sales. I feel like if they dropped the dual screen gimmick and made it a straight forward Star Fox game it would have a decent chance.
  • Wii Party U: This is done.
These games have been ported:
  • Bayonetta (Direct port)
  • Bayonetta 2 (Direct port)
  • Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Minor Changes, so we'll call this a v1.5)
  • Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Minor Changes, so we'll call this a v1.5)
  • Hyrule Warriors {Definitive Edition} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Mario Kart 8 {Deluxe} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • New Super Mario Bros. U {Deluxe} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Pikmin 3 {Deluxe} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Pokken Tournament {DX} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Splatoon {2} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0, literally)
  • Super Mario 3D World: + Bowser's Fury (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Super Mario Maker {2} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0, literally)
  • Super Smash Bros. {Ultimate} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE {Encore} (All the Wii U plus additional features, so we'll call this a 2.0)
  • Wonderful 101 {Remastered} (Minor Changes, so we'll call this a v1.5)

I DO NOT want a Smash 4 port. I want a new Smash game from the ground up, with a much fuller roster this time. I didn't buy (and win) Switches for them to become portable Wii U systems.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

LOL. If it is regarding Smash, I probably would like one with a stronger 1 player Story mode, something like Subspace Emissary but better. Perhaps it is an unpopular idea, but I like my 1 player story modes in fighting games, it is one of the things I liked the most in e.g. Soul Blade for the PS1.

Hey, the more Smash titles the better. Give me Melee HD, Smash4, and a new Smash title on Switch. Especially if it means we get a game sooner.

I have a feeling they will end up porting most of the Wii U exclusives, the Wii U bombed enough that most of the WiiU exclusives were missed and will be fresh to many switch owner's, I guess they will probably try spread their releases out to keep them more as stopgaps to switch exclusives rather than dropping them all in quick succession

that said I do feel they may try to just focus on sequels and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Mario maker 2 (or DX or some other way of building on the base to include a more complete experience i.e including slopes or allowing chaining of levels to make a full mini game you can share)

I doubt ports of these games:
Xenoblade X was unplayable on the wii u gamepad because of the tiny font. This won't be an easy port when they want to make everything readable in handheld mode and xenoblade is too "niche" to make the effort.
Pikmin 3 would need major changes.
Wii sports club will not see a port because of the handheld mode

True, but still Xenoblade 3D exist, and that sure was a more difficult port.
(that said, I've already bought a Nintendo Switch, couple Pro Controller, more than 10 games, etc., and I wouldn't even started buying anything if it wasn't because Xenoblade 2 was announced... and sadly it was the same with the Wii U, niche or not, it ends up collecting many additional sells to fans)
