Because his stage entrance animation.
Maybe his stage intro changes to just rewinding the animation so it looks like Little Mac is just summoning the jacket, but it'd be more dynamic like the way Dante puts his jacket on in the beginning of Devil May Cry 3.

Yes it is, because there's no rule saying mere colour/texture swaps actually have to be referred to as alternative costumes, since "colour/texture swaps" actually define them much better. To me, it's only an alt costume if the actual model is different, like with Hoodie Mac (who will have a slightly different entrance animation too).

And no, he isn't a different model.

-The wireframe skin is just recoloured green skin, with the opacity in some areas greatly reduced, making it possible to see through.
-Lack of face is simply removing his eye texture, eye brow texture, and lip texture. He still has his facial features modeled in though, you can see it in his 5000x5000 render.
-His hair and clothes are just cel-shaded to give that effect of a more limited colour range.
Yea, I guess you have me there but like I said, regardless of what you really say, it is an alternate constume. The model however is different, if only slightly.

It was made as one and that's basically what it is. also go look at some Mahvel costumes. There is one for Deadpool (the only one I really know and remember) where he has a silver surfer look. That is an alt costume and its purely textures

Again, this is all down to your preferred semantics, there is no objectivity to this. I prefer to only refer to actually different models as "alternative costumes", because referring to simple texture swaps and colour swaps as such is grouping too much together. I do it for the sake of distinction.

However, Wireframe Mac is still not a different model. It is literally the exact same model with different textures. Even his vest is still on the Wireframe Model, it simply blends in:

Only if the opponent is Evander Hollyfield. lol. But in my defense, it would pay tribute to the man of whom's name the original Punch Out game had borne. One right hook is an automatic stock. ._.
Actually, the FIRST Punch Out!! was an arcade game that played just like the NES punch out, but had less characters. Mike Tyson wasn't in the Original. Each hook would only remove one stock if it's in the first minuet! :D

Ah, ok. I didn't know about the arcade game. I guess when it hit consoles, Mike Tyson had a partnership or some kind of license set up with Nintendo to help promote the game at the time. I do know that Nintendo discontinued their partnership with him because of his arrest charges at the time or something like that.

But yeah that's true. More like the first 20 seconds actually. x_x

I think it could be considered an alt IF the eye polygons are removed entirely. It would technically be considered an alt since it's different from the original model. The same applies to Rosalina / The Cosmic Spirit I mentioned before. If the eye polygons are removed, leaving it as a smooth surface, it's an alt.

Except neither Rosalina or Mac have eye polygons to begin with, they clearly just have a texture due to their cartoon-ish faces. Especially noticeable in the renders I just posted, and in the following screenshot:



And in Rosie's case:

I know it'd look weird, but I don't want the animation to change when he's wearing this alt. I want to see him toss off the pink sweatsuit only to have another pink sweatsuit underneath.


Seriously though, this would be awesome.

The OP missed, Sakurai's extra comment:

"Looks like some of you noticed that this version of Little Mac wasn't shown at E3. There are many things, like Link's Skyward Sword tunic design I posted earlier, that haven't been revealed yet."
But the Skyward Sword tunic has been shown yet.. unless that was work in progress and they are removing the cap!

Still waiting for this Mac, plus Doc.
Magic rubbing power included?



Little Mac's final smash should have been him turning into Mike Tyson.
You're probably kidding, but there are copyrights and a whole lot of legal junk so that could never happen.

It is the internet and I could just claim seriousness on this absurd suggestion for the so called "lulz". However, that would not be consistent with my character. Of course I'm kidding, man.

Don't question it, pink is always cool.
On the other hand i would really love if every other character gets at least one alt. costume.

"You fight great Mac, But I'm a great fighter."

Man, I love when color swaps and alt.costumes make canon sense.
All that's missing now is Snes Little Mac color swap!
Sakurai has been paying a lot of attention to Little Mac!
That's not Little Mac, And costumes can't be different characters.

Yeah about that...

Featuring the tight game play and humor the series is known for, this sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake. Slug your way through the grueling, sweat-pounding matches of the Minor, Major, and World Circuits as you face off against some of Little Mac’s greatest rivals like Bear Hugger, Bald Bull, and Super Macho Man. With a cast of new challengers waiting, do you have what it takes to identify their unique patterns and exploit their weaknesses? Go to your corner and come out fighting, but remember what Doc Louis would say, "It’s not about brawling—it’s about finesse!"

And one more thing.
Little Mac already has a recolor based after another character anyway.



(Not to mention Blood Falcon, Waluigi, Fuel, Claus, Dark Pit, Popo<>Nana, and several more recolors based on other characters)

Hold the phone!

If Super Punch-Out has Little Mac going back into the ring, does that mean that this guy is Old Little Mac?!?

I want Old Mac as a 3rd Costume.

Give us a nod to the Super Punch Out protagonist and you will successfully fully satisfied my Punch Out needs. Besides a boss, that is.

but still it's called Wii Fit Trainer, so it is possible to do so.
Yeah, That's an easy way to explain an alt's chances.
