This is the most correct answer that anyone could possibly give.
Ex-actly. Other M is a game I think that most people would prefer to be able to forget by this point. Trying to come up with a justification for the existence of something from a game people would rather wasn't included in the first place is kind of a loosing scenario.
It's also probably a big part of the reason why Dark Samus showing up - even as just an assist trophy - is kind of a big deal, because it shows that they haven't completely forgotten the Prime series (at least not entirely), which are Metroid games that are received in pretty much the exact opposite manner that MOM was.
I know I would certainly love it if Nintendo tried to forget Other M the way they forget other embarrassments from their past. Like the Virtual Boy. And the Super Mario Brothers movie. (and for reference, I actually like the Super Mario Brothers movie. Go figure!)
I assume Smash Run is 3DS-exclusive to avoid the need for split-screen, which, combined with SSB's somewhat zoomed out persective, doesn't sound great to me.
But yeah, it'd be ridiculous if 3DS gets Smash Run and all Wii U gets is My Music. Hopefully they'll announce at least one more Wii U-exclusive mode or feature to compensate.
As today's Tomodatchi Direct demonstrates, Nintendo hasn't forgotten about the Virtual Boy at all.

Considering Nintendo's tendency to announce release windows and then release games at the ass-end of said release windows, I'm guessing it's going to be more like 4 months, max.
EDIT: Wait, do you mean six months between the two games' releases, or just six months from now?

Well, the Wii U version might have a Subspace-Emissary-type game mode again, right?
As for Sheik's FS, maybe a bunch of Sheikah shooting arrows from the background. *shrugs*
That said, this is a little off-topic (sort of?) but... what happened to Brawl+? Did they get a cease-and-desist or something? I'm trying to get it running again, but the official website doesn't seem to function anymore and every alternative place I found so far to get it seems highly suspect.
I wouldn't mind the former. I like that Smash Run actually has enemies from the games, and it's disappointing that they'll be limited to that.
I find it amusing that there's Chandelures as enemies. The idea of having Pokemon as mooks in Smash Bros. always struck me as sorta odd for some reason. I guess because you're supposed to fight them with your own Pokemon, not run up and punch their face in yourself.
