Bittersweet Ending: In the Wii version, in a reference to the NES version, Little Mac will literally "give up and retire" after losing "Mac's Last Stand" three times. However, he's remembered as a boxing legend, and gets a museum exhibit dedicated to him. Doc Louis then reminisces about the time he spent training Mac.

Ummm... how does that reference the NES game?

If you lose three bouts in the NES game, the Game Over screen says "Give up?" and "Retire?" which happens when you lose three bouts.

Assuming Mac's Last Stand literally says he "gives up and retires" that's almost assuredly a reference.
