The lights are on
The first big reveal of today's Nintendo Direct is the addition of the boxing underdog Little Mac to the cast of Super Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U.
The announcement begins with a pump-up video (using comic book-style art) depicting Little Mac and Doc training while the triumphant Punch-Out!! music plays the background. Then Samus shows up, and Little Mac punches her.
After that, gameplay clips show Little Mac punching all kinds of Nintendo characters. Donkey Kong, Fox McCloud…he hits 'em all. That's kind of his thing.
Super Smash Bros. comes out in 2014 for both systems, and we're bound to get more character announcements in the meantime.

AWESOME! I like seeing more new characters!
I knew it. There was a boxing ring for a stage and I knew it was little Macs stage. Just wondering about the pilotwings stage.
Yeaaaaaaaaah! Was hoping for this since they came out with Punch-Out! for Wii.
I literally cheered out loud when I saw the trademark jumpsuit.
Cool! He'll be a nice addition to the line up!
Seems like he will play slightly like Lucario in the fact that you need to take more hits to become more powerful. Very excited to try him out.
YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Little Mac had by far the most stylish new character reveal yet. He looks awesome!
"... Little Mac and Doc training while the triumphant Punch-Out!! music plays the background. Then Samus shows up, and Little Mac punches her...

Stuff like this is far more entertaining than Subspace Whatever ever was :D
Called it!
I loved Ike in brawl, I hope he'll be in the next one!
Pretty awesome, and actually fits with the premise of the game amazingly well.
Little mac, little mac, little mac, little mac, sorry people the crowd is chanting really loud. LITTLE MAC, LITTLE MAC,LITTLE MAC!!!
Well this is fantastic!!
