-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.

What? You need to get your eyes checked :3

Right...same font, same letter angles, same little arch on the bottom word to make space for a game specific title. It's pretty much exactly the same wordmark that Smash 4 used, albeit with fifteen or so minutes in MS Paint to shift some of the effects. This may not be particularly indicative of anything, but every logo change from previous games featured at least one noticeable difference in the way the letters were angled, from Melee's completely flat wordmark to Brawl missing the little indent at the top that the Wii U one has.

Bigger point is, it's not like the logo used in the Switch trailer was some time consuming task that demonstrates a desire to heavily rebrand as a new game. It's just a minimalist version of the Wii U one.
