They really just hinted at it.

There IS no hard evidence. People just like to pretend like they know what's going on and say so.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it had the option to use a GCN controller, though.

SSBB’s controls will be very similar to those used in other Smash Bros. games, and it’s possible (contrary to earlier reports) that GameCube controllers will in fact work with the game. .

Smash Bros. is one of the few Wii games to maintain a standard control scheme. "I was given the task of creating Smash Bros.," explained Sakurai. "Of course, the topic becomes, how should we use the special remote controller? During the planning stages, we gave a lot of thought to this." In the end, Sakurai and his staff decided to not go too far with the controller, in particular avoiding being new just for the sake of being new, which Sakurai worried would make the game difficult to play.

There you go. Whether that has changed or not is debatable, but it came from the mouth of the director himself when they unveiled Brawl originally. I seriously doubt they've gone from GC controllers all the way to Wiimotes. It will probably support Classic Controller play, but GC will likely be the standard, or at LEAST supported.
