Recent pictures showed that Little Mac also has an alternate costume he can fight in. As you can see the costume is very similar to the one he was wearing in the animated video used in his debut to the game.
While the costume is interesting it could be one of many alternate costumes that join Link’s Skyward Sword Tunic seen earlier. Sakurai had this to say about the topic: “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.”
It sounds like several characters will get alternate costumes. Some ideas I personally find interesting are Ike’s Ranger and Vanguard outfits, Mario’s Dr. Mario outfit, Zelda’s Twilight Princess Outfit, and possibly alternate costumes for Megaman reflecting new powers.
It’s also possible the comment was referring to something new that we cannot possibly foresee. With all the surprises included in this game it’s highly likely there are several more things in store for us that will completely blow us away.
