Hmm, while the 3DS stages seem sort of feasible (I mean, the hitbox data is all there and the characters basically operate the same between versions, the models and textures just need to be updated for the stages themselves between versions), that's six characters additional right there. Ice Climbers is the only one rumored to technically work, the rest would likely have to be made from scratch, and given how long the development of the actual DLC took, I feel like that's a somewhat tall order.
Another thing I didn't really think about the other day is the fact the rumor states that it is scheduled sometime within six months of the Switch release. That is to say, it could be SOONER than six months, depending on what they are planning and what they need to do. Keep in mind that Mewtwo's development alone took several months time, in fact I think it might have been around six months before he was playable. Granted, it's not as if every asset in the DLC team was focused on Mewtwo, but even so, a LOT goes into character development for these games.
