I think we should keep in mind that we haven't seen everything the game has to offer. The game has around twice the number of stages as Smash on Wii U did, a lot more fighters, new multiplayer modes and it looks like we'll get a completely new single-player mode as well. What else does a game need to be considered new? The problem with Smash is that the amount of content they have created in the past is absolutely staggering: How should they be able to pull off a roster that is 50%+ new characters / stages? It's just not possible because past Smash games have featured almost every character and stage Nintendo has to offer.
