It was introduced just like they did with Yoshi and Kirby during E3 2017, some footages, game title and 2018. And both Yoshi and Kirby are new games and not ports. Absolutely nothing suggests that it is a port. It's may be your guess, but all the evidence show the opposite. |
Except Kirby and Yoshi both had gameplay shown and Nintendo was very quick to state that both were new games when asked. Since we're on the subject of how Nintendo has handled things in the past, I don't think we've ever had an announcement this vague before, where not only is there no title or gameplay shown, but also no one is willing to commit to what the game is exactly. I don't really see this as an indication one way or the other; it's so far removed from anything that I can think of.
Beyond that, I've gone over my reasons for believing it's a port/upgraded edition in other posts. Even if it is possible it's a quick turnaround time for a Smash game and announcing it this close to release is an odd choice for marketing given how the past two Smash titles have approached things and been very successful. It strikes me as very un-Smash like given recent history, hence why I'm inclined to believe it's a port for the time being. That's the "absolutely nothing" that suggests it to me.
