According to Smash Bros designer Masahiro Sakurai, “Honestly, at this point, we shouldn’t be announcing these games to the general public, but since we need to assemble developers for the games, we made them public.”
Sakurai added that work on the games has not started, and their future is dependent on the ability of those recruited to work on the titles.
Sakurai heads up new Nintendo subsidiary Project Sora, hence the interest (and need) to recruit development staff. Super Smash Bros Brawl was developed by a variety of studios, including Monolith Soft and Game Arts.

It was like ‘I’m gonna have a chat with the man and talk about the possibility of Smash on these devices, yo’

While they’re at it, make an HD remake of FF 8 and 9 too, and all the Zelda games I’ve missed since Majora’s Mask…
I would buy that console for those games alone.
