Not really since this gen started. Fire Emblem, Pikmin 3, 2 NSMB games, Streetpass plaza, Mario Golf and pokemon mystery dungeon (and probably more) have all had substantial DLC.
Smash bros is a bad match for paid DLC though, especially if it's characters. You have to download the content anyway to be able to play online (because even if you don't have it, others will) and then you have to compete against characters you can't really use/practice against.
On the other hand, if we don't have Mario Kart DLC by the time the 3DS game releases, I'd write it off as not happening. I also imagine Sakurai isn't really the kind of person who would want to continue working on smash bros 4 after it ships.
I'm more worried that they might be insane enough to lock characters behind Amiibo (like both other major NFC games on the market).
