Will Nintendo port an enhanced version of Smash Wii U for NX?

Seems like Sakurai will take a break from Smash for a while (he said he can't keep the smash team together forever, so the last DLC will be the end), so who knows how many years until Smash 5. In the meantime, a port could be made.
It was around 6.5 years between Smash Brawl and Smash 4. So if the pace is the same, expect Smash 5 in 2021.

Well, that's fine because I can still play on the Wii U if I need to :p

But, he definitely deserves a break, so it's not really a big issue if it comes out late in the next console's life..

You can, but that's roughly an 11m userbase at this point. And not everyone will still have, or play their WiiU when NX is out. That's part of the point Gamexplain were making about Nintendo throwing away such an ambitious project when it could have more sales on the NX, and potentially continue the DLC support even further.

I could see them re-release the game ala Last of Us and GTAV. However, additional DLC may be a stretch, considering that the DLC team will disband once February 2016 rolls on. Plus, Sakurai and his team needs a break at this point.
