**If there's a thread that talks more about this then feel free to lock**

At first I thought that the upcoming Smash might be a glorified port over to the Switch...but something small kinda caught my attention that I don't think anyone mentioned before. The fact that Sakurai and co. made not one, but TWO Smash games for two separate systems and managed to not only get them out within a distance of each other, but also with no delays. Now I know both games are essentially the same but to develop for two completely different consoles on top of Nintendo's at the time "noob" foray into HD graphics is quite a testament. Hal/Bandai Namco and Nintendo put these games out relatively quick...and because of this I'm thinking that even with the small break they had in between these games going into this upcoming one, this might add more "evidence" that a totally new installment could very well be likely.

What do you guys think?

In any case it won't be "just a port".
Smash 4 refers to the 3DS and Wii U games which had roster and gameplay parity.
Smash Switch breaks away from that.

So the conversation should probably be how much different the game will be instead of if it's the same game

I think it'll be like Splatoon 2. It'll add plenty of new stuff and to people who actually play the games it'll feel like a sequel. You'll still get plenty of shitposting about it being a port.

Sm4sh has like 58 characters, no way they're starting from scratch. But I think samurai will insist on giving the game enough new content to justify being called a true sequel.
