It's hard to tell if it's a port because the prior SSB game didn't really have a proper name. It was just Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. Naturally a Switch version wouldn't use that name. A remake of Melee and Brawl would be obvious because they would have "Melee" or "Brawl" in the title. But Super Smash Bros. for Switch could apply to a port or a new game.
Maybe Nintendo will confirm but they might benefit from it being ambiguous so they may not be completely upfront about it. They could say it's new but when the game is released SSB experts may then notice that it's literally the same game with a few enhancements. Unless Nintendo says it is an enhanced port I feel almost like we won't know surely until it's released.

Either way, I want Nintendo to go back to the old naming structure. Clash/Rumble, whatever. Color me excited.
Here’s the Inkling trailer:

Like I've said before, the game will heavily reuse the assets of the Smash Bros Wii U, but for all purposes this will be considered a new Smash Bros by Nintendo and advertised as one. Even though graphically it'll look the same and reuse a lot of content, it'll have at least a dozen new characters, new stages and some new gameplay modes to be considered an actual sequel. Just look at that teaser trailer, if this was going to be an enhanced port they would have shown more like every other Wii U port announcement. The fact they didn't show any gameplay and end it with the giant, flaming logo is meant to have an "Oh ****", something big is coming reaction. They wouldn't make a teaser this hype for just an enhance port since like I said before, the majority of the Smash Bros audience still played the previous installment last gen on either the Wii U or 3DS. There's no point in creating this kind of hype for an enhanced port when they can release a real sequel for higher sales.
Plus like I've said before, it's been over 2 years since the last Smash Bros DLC was released. They made the base game for both the 3DS and Wii U in only 2 years, so I'm not sure why some people still think it's impossible for a new game to be made in the same timespan, especially when reusing the Wii U engine for even faster development and no 3DS version to worry about. Then there's the fact there were posting back in 2015 that Namco was hiring people to work on a project called Smash Bros 6, which some thought was for the DLC but that never made any sense because these job postings appeared months after the DLC was already in development, which hinted very heavily that Nintendo was probably gearing up for another Smash Bros right away to avoid the long wait like Brawl and For had.
All you people who kept saying we would have heard about it by now if a new game was in development, guess what, we've just heard about it. With the 2018 release date shown, which means it's probably intended to be their big holiday game, we can have a full reveal at E3 and still have plenty of time for them to have the nightly Dojo hype updates and it would be in a similar timeline like Brawl was intended to back in 2007.

Peas and rice, man, are you still on this? Does it even matter?
I explained in detail why I think the Super Smash Bros. on Switch is a port, and you ignored every single one of them. That’s fine, but there’s no reason for me to get into a big thing over it. That debate has run it’s course. I don’t even care either way. I’m going to buy it regardless. If you’re going to get all weirdly smug, that’s your prerogative. Have fun, sir. I’m just glad the game, whatever it is, was finally announced.
