Little Mac Joins The Cast Of Super Smash Bros

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.
