Remember people, they previously worked on 2 incompatible platforms one the same time, thus the development dragged for so long. Evidence pointing to a new Smash game: + New Logo + Copyright at the end of the reveal video + The video itself (I mean a high quality CGI for a port?) + A unified platform means that games ought to be coming sooner than what we're used to + BOTW Link + They believe they can sell 20m Switches this year. Either Pokemon is coming late 2018 (unlikely) or this is a brand new Smash game |
-The logo is quite literally just the Wii U/3DS logo with a slight alteration to the shape of the Smash logo used for the "o" in Bros. It even has the same curve on the "Smash Bros." part of the logo.
-Copyright is meaningless, same copyright was used in past Wii U trailers.
-Not as uncommon as you might think.
-Smash 4's dev time was similar to Brawl's while on 3DS and Wii U, so I'm not convinced that's the case.
-Very easily just a skin to market the game as having a suddenly popular version of Link.
-All the more reason to not immediately announce it as a port.
