Punch Out’s Little Mac Hits Up Smash Bros. Brawl
The Nintendo Wii isn’t exactly known for being a fighting games hub. Some people might even say that the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl isn’t even really a fighting game, because it doesn’t involved any quarter-circle-forward moves. I beg to differ. There’s a variety of characters, there are combos, and there’s, well, fighting.
We’ve seen the Super Smash Bros. Brawl roster building up for some time now. We already know that Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid will be there. We already know that Mario’s biggest rival, Sonic the Hedgehog, will be there. And now, we going back a full twenty years to Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! from the original Nintendo Entertainment System to fetch the pipsqueak pugilist known as Little Mac! That’s right folks, Little Mac is going to be Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
There’s no sign of his coach, Glass Joe, Piston Honda, or Soda Popinski, nor is there any mention of Little Mac having to wear an ugly pink hoodie as he rides his bike past the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, Little Mac isn’t a playable character either. Instead, he’s getting featured as a Assist Trophy. But who am I to complain? Little freakin’ Mac is in Smash Bros! Feel the nostalgia.
