The new Punch-Out!! trailer showing off the game’s split-screen multiplayer mode includes a little (or big) surprise. As Little Mac faces off against his own doppelganger, a power meter will charge, and when it’s full, it’s clobbering time. Little Mac can transform into the not-so-little Giga Mac. Giga Mac appears to be much stronger, but also much slower than Little Mac. In the trailer, he takes a decent chunk out of Little Mac’s energy bar, but it’s not quite enough for him to avoid getting creamed by a fighter one fifth his size. (Such is the way of Punch-Out.)
In other Punch-Out!! news, the latest issue of Game Informer reveals that Spanish and Canadian stereotypes Don Flamenco and Bear Hugger have made it into the game. Go Canada.
