Wait, shit. I can think of an actual second reason for them doing this.
Rare figure variants. It'd just help them print even more money.

Combine this with blind packaging like with Lego Minifigs so you don't know what character you're getting until you open it and you've got a sure fire way to piss off your fans make millions.
 
1. You said Little Mac gets alts (plural), implying he has more than one. That's what I was going by.

2. Link only has 5 known options. When we found out about wireframe Mac we didn't know he'd have the jumpsuit as well. Following that logic, Link could very well get an actual alternate costume that changes his model on top of the elaborate texture we already know about.

I think the America outfit might be more elaborate too but its hard to tell (and less likely). Either way, I can only comment on what I know to be true, not what one speculates to be true :P

They don't even need to do blind packaging, neither Skylanders nor Disney Infinity (aside from the disks) do so. The point of rare figure variants is to promote repeatedly checking in on stores, because once you're there, your kids will probably force you to buy something. Plus, it allows them to get high attendance at promotional events for the game by promising a rare figure variant to be there, it allows them to sell a bundle better than they normally would by just including one of them in it, etc. Basically, it works so damn well for Skylanders that I'd be surprised if Ninty didn't go that route.
 
Oh come on, if he's adding 2 different costumes for Little Mac, we've got to be due some for others. How is Little Mac so special?

He beat prime Tyson. He is special.
 
Speaking of voices....did we ever hear Male Fit Trainers Voice?

EDIT Half of my post went kapoot. wtf? anyways I was gonna respond about the guy that quoted me but I see "The_Intruder" answered for me. Its like Saying Walugi is just a luigi color alt.
 
I don't get how colouring her hair and costume like Daisy isn't a "true Daisy alt". That's pretty much the entire point of Daisy's character.

In melee, Peach's daisy alt was a bit more than just a recolor like other alts since it got some model changes too. Short gloves like daisy, peach's accessories replaced with daisy's, Her dress got a different design, and last but not lease...that tan.
 
I still don't think Sakurai's going to actually use alts to change who a character is. I.E., Pajama Pants Ness is possible, but Daisy Peach won't be anything more than a recolor in reference to her.

I don't expect a full Daisy alt, I just feel it would be nice if the texture was more like Melee's (Daisy emblem and earrings) vs Brawls (just a recolour).

Pic of the day. The pink sweatshirt looks really cool on Little Mac, so you can use that outfit in this game… How can a pink sweatshirt look so cool?

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.

WUT?
I've missed that. Can someone help me finding it out?

Yeah, we're getting costumes would be my bet.
 
is little mac the new captain falcon

did sakurai kill captain falcon
 
Sakurai you got alts, you need these two alts for lucario sakrai


Just make it so he isn't glowy when he doesn't have the FS

namco is developing this and maybe pokken

You know what you gotta do


Give him this as an alt outfit. Combine best mishima and best pokemon.
the clothes i mean, not the person.
 
Good update

I hope the other characters get the same treatment.

About that: what's the current theory on how alternative colors and alternative costumes (and gender swaps) work? Each character has at least alternative colors and costumes? Or were the colors a placeholder for E3?

Why would the colours be a placeholder? They are pretty much a staple of the series. Also in today's pic we see one of Mac's E3 colours.

Yo, that's a sweet alt. And hey, maybe it means Robin (if they're in) could have a hooded alt too.

As a huge Punch-Out!! fan I love Little Mac is getting so many alt costumes, and they really look like alt costumes.
But what the heck is Sakurai doing? Why not do this with every character? Why is Link's one SO bad compared to this one, was it really that difficult to make Link's model without the hat and with a better belt?

I'm starting to wonder how is the planning process of Sakurai when he does this things. We don't even know yet if WiiU version is getting a good singleplayer.
 
I don't think it looks that great either but I don't see why people are treating this as some sort of unofficial confirmation there won't be proper alts for veterans. Tons of characters have texture-swaps that serve as quick and dirty references to other costumes/characters since SSB64, don't know why this suddenly changed things.

I'd prefer an OoT Link alt or Fierce Deity Link anyhow.

EDIT: Pink jumpsuit Mac is awesome by the by.
 
Little Mac is gonna be a beast in this game. I know he is vulnerable in the air but is there any concern he might be overpowered?

As of now Little Mac sucks really hard in the air, if he's knocked out of the arena it's almost impossible he will recover, and if he's grabbed and thrown in the air things will be really dire for him
