Do they? It's a 3 year old game. Time for a new one.
But yeah the titles for Wii U were pretty dumb.
Look at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sales.
Yes, but for when, 2020?

If a Smash port gets announced for Switch it can finally fix the one thing I hate

Honestly it's going to be a hard feat. to top it, and I don't wanna be without my Shulk/Cloud/Roy/Bayo
Smash 4 is a fantastic game, I wanna have it on a good system and I really don't need a new Smash yet. In the meantime, bring over my SSB4Switch
That's what this can be, essentially. Base game plus the dlc, throw in a new character or 2, some new stages.
Smash can work great as a platform.
Yeah but how long for a sequel versus a port with more characters and stages? Just gimme the port and make a new one in a few years.
Smash Wii U didnt get its chance to shine on the dying platform would be my guess into why everyone wants a port instead of a new copy, either that or smash 4 is the best and making a new one is a waste of time cause it'll never live up to smash 4 and all the advance techs that make the game what it is will die along with a new version.
Imma go with the former though.
Also probably take longer for a whole new game then a quick port.
But most people know why asking for a brand new Smash right now wouldn't be realistic. Normally it happens once every 7 years or so, and they stopped making content for the new one last year.

Nah, I want a port first. I love Smash, but I play games on my Switch now, not the Wii U. I also don't play games at home much anyways, so being able to take the HD experience on the go is also great. It also helps that I can play 2P with literally anyone at any time. Lastly, a port would require less effort than a brand new game, meaning we may get a few new characters and stages, which is great because I feel like the next new Smash will never be able to match the size and greatness of this roster, so I'd rather this than a brand new game at this time.
Of course I'd love a new Smash a few years down the line, let's say 2-4 years.

Also, a Switch version would be absolutely perfect to unify all the 3DS and Wii U exclusive stages and modes into one package.
Smash U is the "playable" version, but 3DS's Stages and Smash Run are sooooo much better than U versions.

Not really. The game is fantastic. I'd rather them just port the game and transform the it into a SaaS platform.

Wait this is actually kinda good. I know a lot of people have been throwing out fun ideas like being able to switch between characters per stock and stuff, so this'd be perfect, actually.

Also x2
I'm the type of person that has actually brought a Wii U out to conventions to play Smash 4 in the hallways with friends. Would be nice not having to bring a whole console next time!

I actually like the name because of the play on words. "For" = 4.
Anyway, it's going to be called Smash Brothers For Nintendo Switch, or I will be shocked. It just makes too much sense.

Why is it people keep begging for a port? Wouldn't it be cool if we got a new game?
Seriously. If it's a port there's no way they would go with anything else...
Nobody is begging. It's more that most people have accepted it likely will be a port with a few additions. I don't think anyone would complain about an entirely new game

You'll get Brawl Remastered for Switch and you'll like it.

Already explained a number of times.
+ unifying Wii U and 3DS content into one perfect package. It's an idea that makes way too much sense and Smash 4 is a no-brainer for easy sales on a better platform like Switch, ala MK8DX
Rumors made people think we were getting a port

The longer this theoretical Smash 4 port goes without getting announced, the less likely it is to actually happen. At this point, it's looking pretty likely that either Serkan Toto's information was wrong or the game in development is a proper sequel.

I doubt they'll make a Smash Switch port. They need a new Smash Switch to carry their 2018/2019 line-up.
Also can the Switch even support 8 player local co-op? The Joycons interact with the Switch independently from each other so I imagine that caps the Switch max players quicker than on the Wii U.

If it's built upon the foundation of a port of SSB4, this is absolutely what it will be called. "Deluxe" has mainly caught on because of MK8D and the characteristically unreliable rumour mill (also likely working from the precedent of MK8D) but is as much of an unsubstantiated fan creation as the hideous "Spla2n".
Can't wait for the thread where OP follows through and becomes a legend

This is pretty much how I feel at this point. IMO Smash 4 is done, Sakurai has moved on.
I get the feeling that he might not be working on Smash 5 at the moment, either. Since Melee, he's always made some original projects between each Smash game, such as Air Ride, Meteos, and Kid Icarus Uprising. The dude worked on SSB4 from like 2012-2016. I'd think he'd want to take a break from Smash and do something else before coming back.

You better start picking a cheek, OP.
Also:
The only thing I can remotely see as an argument is which one is better, Melee or 4. Is there anyone at all who thinks Brawl is better than both of those?

Guys, it's not going to be Smash DX. That's Melee's Japanese title:

I'd argue Smash 4 wasn't quite as held back by the Wii U in the same way something like Tropical Freeze was. It was also released on 3DS, which retains the same core gameplay and roster as the Wii U version.
People are only really missing out on the some of the extra version exclusive fluff like the stages, trophies, Smash Tour, etc.
