Nintendo's big first half of 2020 release is Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It is the only confirmed big new release for the Nintendo Switch, however, more games for 2020 will likely be announced in the coming months.
Nintendo insider Emily Rogers via ResetEra mentioned Nintendo plans to release "at least two more unannounced Wii U ports" this year. "They are not difficult to guess because there aren’t many Wii U games left to port."
"their big March title, so that's something people will just need to accept," Rogers Added. "And as we saw with 2019, Nintendo likes to dump most of their biggest releases in the second half of the year. Which typically makes the pacing for the first half of the year slower by comparison."
Some possible Wii U port include Super Mario 3D World, The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Emily Rogers is not an insider. She just repeats what other people leak or makes super vague statements like this one. If she actually knew anything, she would tell us what these games are.
I wanted to see a Nintendo Switch Lite colored like a purple Gamecube controller with Mario Sunshine HD. That would move units.
The only three games left to port are 3D World, Pikmin 4, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Both Pikmin 4, and Xenoblade were unlikely to get ported due to those games heavily using the gamepad. But obviously one of them will get ported. Which means that Nintendo must have gone ahead and done all the work required to get these games running smoothly without the gamepad being needed for the UI. Which in turn means that no game is off the table for being ported. Which means that Wii U will soon be 100% obsolete. Give it a year or two!
Pikmin 4?
*3 My bad
Well all of the Zelda games should be ported over and Super Mario 3D World. Those are the titles with the best selling potential.
I really hope they port The Wonderful 101.
