I'd argue against a Splatoon port. Same reason as MK8, just make a sequel.

Thats easy, blow peoples socks off with a huge graphical upgrade. It already ran at 1080p 60fps on Wii U, they can really make this game gorgeous on NX because they can focus all the power available on graphical effects rather than resolution. A gorgeous "next gen" Smash Bros game is the perfect thing to reveal at e3. Next just announce some new characters and all the DLC from the Wii U and handheld versions and you've got the ultimate Smash Bros game.

Same.. I only see a port. I doubt that add any extra characters for some reason
I cant see them doing anything graphics wise either.. I mean it will be ballin but would they actually put the work in? I doubt they have higher quality assets, textures for this game laying around.
Nah. 8k.
Probably not likely, particularly considering it's an open world game. I'm sure the NX version has been under development for a while, so they'd have plenty of time to do visual upgrades as well.

Agreed. Really awesome games on hardware people didn't want to buy.
I think they could make it so their entire history could be playable on the console.
GCN and Wii emulation seems possible, maybe 3DS like DS was doable on Wii U and then just remaster Key Wii U titles. Great way to add value to the system
I guess I've been looking too much at MGSV Hoping it would be like the PS3 vs ps4

Sounds bad, but I want to see what a smash would be without his influence. I feel like he's preventing it from reaching it's full potential.

I don't see Mario Kart.
However, pretty up the visuals even more and add some battle arena stages and I'm there again.

Well yes I agree, but unless I'm misunderstanding your post, Shikimaru Ninja has named the games correctly. The only ones he mentioned outside of SMM were MK8 and Splatoon. If I'm wrong on one, then it only leaves those two as an option doesn't it?
Good point, I forgot that MGSV is 60fps.
Ok those 4 did sold the most games.
Maybe mario maker. But we dont know the nx interface yet.
(Maybe starfox)
What's the update on the port rumors?
Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Smash all seem like communities Nintendo would want to keep going on NX. I personally am hoping Mario Maker is playable on the NX handheld somehow. Games like Xenoblade and Bayonetta 2 may be great, but I'm not sure how much market importance they have at the end of the day.
I also hope that maybe if you own some of these games on eShop Nintendo let's you carry your license over to the NX port.

I imagine the common thread for SMM, Splatoon and Smash are that they're seen as services that they can just build on instead of creating entirely new games and logic for, assuming it's true.
I'd still like to see a sequel for Splatoon first before they do that. OR at least they provide people with a new, extended campaign and Horde Mode.

It'll be 50% off during first month of sale. This is Nintendo after all.
Splatoon would benefit from them releasing a new game on NX. Build a bigger, better, and more expansive game. No reason releasing a Deluxe Edition of the first game, imo.
Well that's shorter than I thought!
Agreed. Nintendo is probably willing to give Splatoon a much bigger budget now. I think they'd rather make it bigger and better rather than porting the first game.
I'd hoped Splantoon's big success would've opened Nintendo's eyes on the thirst for new concepts, new IP, but hearing they're porting WiiU games to NX worries me greatly. Nintendo's going to probably need to carry the platform on its own again and I recognise the need for a strong and diverse launch line-up, but I hope they'll give us WiiU owners something to get excited about, a reason to buy their new system, beyond promises of new games for 2017.
I would wager Splatoon is as important to Nintendo now as Smash or Mario Kart in terms of sales and brand. I agree that Splatoon 2 should be the focus with everything and kitchen sink thrown into its budget/development.

And that's not counting whatever gimmicks Nintendo might add to differentiate themselves from the competition.

I expect a MKWii--->MK8 jump from Splatoon to Spla2oon.
I agree, but how far is that out, theoretically? A year? two? They seem to keep bringing out more updates for it, despite it not really being advantageous to do so if you want a sequel that does the service thing like the original did.
Yeah, the problem with Splatoon is that they kept extending the free updates. They were supposed to be done with weapons adds, and yet they add another two rounds of weapons starting in April. Everything was free, so it doesn't have the Smash Bros. benefit of doing a complete edition with all DLC characters. Doing a Complete Edition for Splatoon NX would either have the same sets of weapons/maps (plus more features?) or the weapon sets would differ and it becomes haves vs have-nots.
What does doing two more rounds of updates to Splatoon telegraph, I wonder? It's weird. The developer team is clearly still looking at the game. Are they fast-tracking a sequel?

It was apparently only 10% done when we played the demo at e3. With the base game done I imagine they can make a sequel even quicker

Its gonna turn into Nintendo's Destiny/Division watch. With actual fun multiplayer.. people are gonna be doing raids and shit for all kind of rare weapons, clothing drops. The hub is gonna have actual human players walking around and not just the stand ins. Shits gonna be good man :')

While it'll probably have better art, I see that game as one made for the portable and console. With how big it is in Japan it makes a lot of sense so I'm not sure they'll go crazy with the visuals

...I wonder if they could do this. Single player campaign with raids/loot and more social elements. The hub felt like the Destiny one (but not as poorly made as the destiny one)
Could be cool instead of just turf war and ranked battles.

eh nothing, you still get your same gameplay from the first Splatoon
If support had ceased, I'd say Summer 2017 could be within reason. Realistically, a fresh Spla2oon release probably won't be until early 2018.
I'd rather not have Splatoon be an online only game. They need to expand the Campaign more before they do something like that.
The last thing I want from Splatoon 2 is a Destiny clone
Personally I just want new modes, playable Octolings, more customization like hairstyle, customization outside of the characters, like maybe a personal emblem for everyone. I want more community features like screenshots and small videos that can be shared, like in Halo. The devs can even choose the best image of the week, etc.
And I want single player to stay one player only, but expand on the Inkling culture/lifestyle. Have a whole Inkling city to explore with many cool NPCs

I would be surprised if Splatoon 2 didn't end up being a holiday title in 2017 or 2018.
The presence of ports does not exclude the presence of original games, though. The games are basically done. Bandai Namco could port Smash Bros. on their own and any number of contract studios could assist with Mario Maker and MK8.
I just 100%'d Smash Wii U a few weeks ago (As far as Challenges go, anyway) so as much as I love Smash to the point of it being my favorite gaming series, I wouldn't get it at launch if it was just a port of Smash Wii U with all the DLC.
However, thanks to the existence of the 3DS version, there's a lot of content they could add to a definitive remaster. The 3DS version has almost 30 exclusive stages; it also has its own challenges, trophies and Smash Run, which, for my money, is infinitely better than Smash Tour and would benefit. HDify all of that, make it so the DLC characters/franchises are more integrated in the game (giving them their own special moves, giving them their own Events and Challenges, give more music and trophies to the likes of Street Fighter and Final Fantasy), and voilá, you have a hell of a package, the ultimate version of Smash For.
Mind you, I firmly believe Sakurai's involved in this, as much of a vacation as he claims to have gotten, and wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he can't help adding extra bells and whistles like new stages or even characters. At the very least, Ice Climbers and Wolf I could see back on the game.

I think MK9 is too soon. MK8 came out when? 2013 right? I think 2018 is more likely.
If Emily Rogers 4 Wii U ports to NX is true, I think its Zelda U, Smash, Pikmin 4, and maybe Splatoon. I feel like Pikmin is very likely at this point, because the third one didn't sell all that great on the Wii U. NX would be the perfect reason to boost sales.

I'd be absolutely fine with a Smash 4 port is done, but it would have to include all the 3DS exclusive content. The stages are so many times better than the WiiU selection. I've deliberately haven't unlocked the Pac-man stage yet because of how absolutely terrible it is. Without the DLC stages the selection would've been outright terrible.
