Nintendo Wii Media | Smash Update: Little Mac Joins the Brawl

By Jorge Ba-oh 18.10.2007 11

Nintendo have released a minor update today on the Official Smash Bros. website, revealing a return of one of the classic Punch Out! characters, Little Mac, as an assist trophy.

Once there was a legendary man. He knocked heavyweight boxers many times his own size to the mat en route to a W.V.B.A. title.

Little Mac appears from Punch Out!

Be sure to stick around for updates...

SmilieLil Mac looks so dope. He reminds me of Ippo from Hajime no Ippo. Any way I would've loved to have him as a playable character though. He would probally be my favorite like Balrog from Street Fighter.

Take the advice I gave you the other day and get PunchOut on the NES [500], it's videogame comedy and VERY FUN Smilie. Don't get Victorius Boxers!, unless you are a -BIG- fan of the Anime.

Fantastic update, VERY happy about this inclusion..please come to Wii.

yeah yeah I took your advice LS, but you know Tangle do love his anime so I may get Bleach. Oh yeah I still have 1200 points left I just bought Sin & Punishment yesterday it's an very addictive game. I'll look into punchout later I'm still waiting for Kirby Super Star to drop on VC if it ever does. Also have you or any one else heard any thing on the Kirby from Gamecube coming to Wii?

His final smash could be Big Mac attack!

Sorry, bad pun...

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path.

Yeah, I saw this news on the SMBB site and I was thinking he would be a new, refreshing character, already made for fighting and all. Then I noticed it said he was an assist trophy Smilie. Still cool to have someone so retro redone in Brawl.

Nope, not heard anything on Kirby. If you are a fan of Kirby I have a cool gift for you this Christmas if you want it, I will have to post it to you though. Alternatively send me a list of Anime you like to help with getting you a cool present here. I can get my hands on cool stuff like little Bleach models. Sin And punishment is class.

Onoez, I missed that above text I was so happy at seeing Lil Mac. This is stupid I agree jb why the hell is he merely a assist trophy when he could be a very popular full blown player. It makes no sense to me, I think he would be very popular Smilie.
