Yeah I think Smash fans have it in their head that Nintendo is Smash and that's it. Last year Smash was being released the next day or whatever (I remember being at a midnight release when I heard about Joker) so it makes sense they'd add to the hype to boost even more sales so that people who were on the fence would be like "What? Joker is gonna be in Smash? Well count me in now."Because Nintendo typically brings one announcement to the VGAs. Last year there was no plan to announce Joker at the VGAs until the proverbial last minute. Nintendo will have better things to announce than DLC for a year old game.
I don't expect anything at the VGAs.
