Much more likely that they will just re-box their last Smash effort and sell that. The Gamecube version is so popular because of the controller, many were kids back then so there are a lot of players, and not many own a Wii U to get excited about the current one. I cannot even remember if there was a Wii version.

 

Although I agree S4 is more likely I disagree on it not being a seller to the Melee crowd because if they remastered it and gave it proper online like S4 and not the piss poor GC online that never worked it would fly of the shelves as the community would be given a massive boost to the point it could always be around (at least until a Smash game that utilizes similar approaches turns up), the online alone would make it easier for that community to practice as you won't need good players locally to do it and it makes it easier for that community to grow because Melee copies now are tricky to get.

Even just porting it with out remastering and adding a working online element would bring a significant number of players over, the only issue would be that of balance as the EU version was patched and was the latest build but the NA version is what's mostly played because NA is Melee's main scene, such a rerelease would obviously have to only opt for one which would likely be the EU build.
