This also renders him as the second lowest ranking mid-tier character.
#WHEN DID THE WII U COME OUT MAC#
Little Mac is ranked 44th out of 55 in the tier list, placing him in the E tier. Rather than Matt Harty, who voiced him in that game, or Hisao Egawa, who voiced him as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, Little Mac is voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi. Little Mac was revealed during a Nintendo Direct on February 13th, 2014, which coincided with the 30th anniversary of the North American release of Punch-Out!! Instead of retaining Brawl's 3D version of his original design from the NES version of Punch-Out!!, Little Mac now sports his updated design from the Wii version of Punch-Out!!. 4, making the jump from an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Of course, we could be wrong and Pokken Tournament stays in Japan forever, but that makes us sad.Little Mac ( リトル・マック, Little Mac) is a playable character and a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Compliment it with a Wii U price drop and systems will vanish from store shelves. This one title has the potential to dominate holiday 2015. Why does this game exist? How does The Pokemon Company form a tag team with Bandai Namco to create a Pokemon fighting game that never leaves Japanese arcades? This game is so Wii U bound we can practically see Pikachu lightning bolts shooting from the disc slot. Nintendo usually does its own thing, and has for decades, so Pokken Tournament Wii U Edition isn’t a lock, but come on. Instead, consider it focus testing for the inevitable global launch. Don’t look at Japanese exclusivity as a snub.

In addition, they’ll be able to see what works and what doesn’t in preparation for the console edition. Its limited release will give all parties involved the max concentration of players. Outside of Japan, video game arcades are more or less dead, so releasing Pokken Tournament over there is a smart idea. on 3DS and Wii U besides, we’ll need another game to use with the Smash GameCube controllers. Perhaps most importantly, Bandai Namco is co-developer for the new Super Smash Bros. The release calendar gets fuzzy after that, but considering Nintendo’s stranglehold on the Pokemon empire, there’s little doubt that such a team-up took place without the Wii U in mind. The company supported the system at launch with games like Tank! Tank! Tank! and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and will bring Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 to the console October 14. Some third party publishers left the Wii U, perhaps temporarily, but Bandai Namco remains loyal. Here’s why.īandai Namco supports Nintendo in a big way For now, the publisher has nothing to say about Pokken Tournament, but we’re willing to bet you’ll eventually see it on the Wii U, perhaps as early as holiday 2015.
