"Upcoming Nintendo IP" reads like "new Nintendo IP" to me.

I really hope so! Or a re-imagining of an old IP in a completely new way, like what Kid Icarus Uprising did
Vince Joly is still there? Then I stand corrected, must have mixed him up with Tom Ivey as I thought he moved to Armature Studio during the TF development.
Edit: Oh, he's been promoted to Creative Lead.

Each character having their own trainer would be pretty awesome.
Also, your Italian guy reminds me of this:

When has Next Level made anything akin to what you're describing?

Next Level did an amazing job with Punch Out and I would love another one, and they did a great job with Luigi's Manson. Whatever their next project is I'm sure I'll be interested given their history.
Maybe they can do another classic revival like Ice Climber or Sheriff.

Wii U doesn't have any Mario sports titles so it seems like it would be due for one, but with all the games already coming out this year (10 confirmed so far), it sounds like whatever Next Level is working on won't be ready until next year along with other games like a console port of Pokken Tournament and hopefully Retro Studio's next project.
I wonder if Next Level is the outsourced developer working on Star Fox. I'd like to see them do a new Punch Out or something else, maybe a cross over-based title.

Would benefit the most from the Gamepad. A proper overfield view alone would be already great.
Given their skill with animation, a reimagining of Nazo no Murasamejou with visual similarities to Okami would be great to see. If you look at Little Mac's shared history with Takamaru as a Smash Bros. assist trophy and Captain Rainbow guest and squint, it even starts to look quasi-plausible.

EAD is making that one.

If it's a new IP, I'm hoping it'll either be an action adventure or RPG, something with a decent narrative and characters, since the WiiU's rather lacking on that front. I mean sure, Zeldas straddling both those genres admittedly, but that's just one game, and damn it, I'm greedy!
If it's an established franchise, I want a new Mario Strikers.

I understand what you mean, but at the same time hewing too closely to the idea of not giving what's broken leads to repetition and stale games. There have already new. Three Metroid Prime games, I think the franchise could do with something entirely different. As well, IIRC most of the peeps who made Metroid Prine are no longer at Retro.

I want a 2D Metroid for Wii U. But I think Nintendo sees 3DS as the right place for 2D games, these days (DKC notwithstanding). It's a shame, because consoles are capable of stunning 2D graphics.

Have they ever worked on a console that's not Nintendo's?

Oh.Probably this:
I actually remember seeing this, it just got filtered out by my memory circuits.

but

In recent years? They made that Arkham-clone Captain America game. They were also working on a game called Clockwerk that got canned.
I'm just going by Nintendo games on Wii U trends
I have no idea who Next level are or what they have ever made. Didn't Intelligent Systems get stuck making that shit Game and Wario instead of something actually good for Wii U? or was that a different team?
Yep. They did the Captain America game on PS3/360.
Of course, their best and most successful games have been Nintendo ones and thus they aim solely to work with Nintendo now.

Mr. Handsome (Vince) came in as an Animator for MP2, was promoted to Art Director for DKCR, and is now Creative Director. Tom did leave towards the end of TF. He was the last designer left from either of the first two Prime games. The majority of their designers now are ones that were hired on for Corruption, but there are plenty of artists, animators, and engineers from the early days still there.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
As it should be.
Yes, but Miyamoto said to speed up the game's development, Nintendo was looking for a third party studio to assist them with on it.
Miyamoto also mentioned last year that we should expect more small-scale spin-off titles for release this year.

Reggie is fucking huge.
NHL Hitz Pro (GCN,Xbox,PS2)
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (Wii, 360, PS3)
Ticket Ride (XBL)
Captain America: Super Soldier (360, PS3)
ClockWork (cancelled on all platforms)
As of January 2014, they've decided to only work with Nintendo from now on because Nintendo actually gives them the freedom other publishers do not to actually work on a game and make them good. And Nintendo has continued to support them by giving them better IPs to work with.
I'M FINISHED!
Um exCUSE me Sakurai but CLEARLY the best choice for Smash Bros would be my fav niche character HOWEVER you are clearly INCOMPETENT and
Punch-Out!! can come once every console cycle and be fresh enough. New boxers, new patterns, new modes, better graphics. You know, like a sequel.
Making a Punch-Out!! game without Bald Bull is like making a Super Mario Bros. game without Goombas. There can be new boxers and the series legends like Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, and Super Macho Man. They ARE Punch-Out!!.
This post is exceeding the speed of lame.
I don't neen another *insert any sequel here*. I've got it on my *platform with franchise* already.
I want both, but since you don't know how a sequel can improve things then they better just retire those IPs.

Also, let's not forget that NLG wanted to experiment with co-op multi-player.

I also hope it's Strikers 3 or a new IP finally. Punch-Out feels most suited for a smaller 2nd Wii U game, not their debut game after all this time.

Oh, even then, no. Other than Mario Party, Nintendo Land, Wii Party and some of the smallish DL stuff they've done, Nintendo's stuff on the U has been fully-featured.

Starfox for sure
Ice Climbers 2.0
A mixture of Cursed Mountain meets Ice Climbers meets some Hunting game.
probably quality because Intelligent Systems but I just can't get into puzzle games
really wish S.T.E.A.M. was on Wii U ; ;

I think it's just the camera angle.
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Those other three guys look like pipsqueaks next to him.
Reggie's like one of those minibosses in Final Fight who burst through concrete walls and charge you like a bull.
