Yeah, NEW Smash games usually get the insane hype train- if a new game were to be announced AND released this year, if would give almost no time for that hype train to get moving.

If it's going to be their big holiday game, between now and E3 would give it plenty of time to be revealed and hyped up. People have to remember that Brawl was originally suppose to come out at the end of 2007 and yet the Dojo first opened up on May 22nd of that year. And when it first opened, the early updates were filled with filler like "You Must Recover" and recaps of everything we already knew from E3 2006. It wasn't until about a month in did they finally reveal Zelda as the first returning veteran we hadn't seen yet, followed by Bowser. It wasn't until August 1st, over 2 months after the site opened did we see Ike as the first newcomer that hadn't been shown at E3 2006.
So if they literally open a new site at E3, it'd give them plenty of time to start revealing returning veterans, stages, new stages, new characters, items, modes and music at a rate similar or even faster then Brawls Dojo originally did.

But Brawl was quasi-announced in 2005. Even if we don’t count that, Nintendo released the game’s first trailer at E3 2006 in which Final Smashes, a couple new stages, and five newcomers including the series’ first third party character were unveiled. There was plenty of hype for Brawl before the Dojo started. As far as sequels go, Melee is the outlier, having been released on the same year it was shown to the public.

We’re not getting a new Smash Bros.
If we do, I will punish myself by not buying it. Happy?

I just want people to keep talking themselves into the idea that a port is more likely to happen the more time passes.
