Nintendo of America not allowing SSBM to be streamed at EVO [Up: Decision Reversed]

ponpo

Exactly what I was going to say. They don't want their family friendly IP to be perceived as a hardcore fighting game. Maybe they pulled the plug once they got wind of Shirtless Marvel.

I mean it's a joke reason, but it's the only thing I can think of since Nintendo hasn't really cared about streaming before.

This is a supervillain level dick move, I can't even comprehend it.

can't believe I literally was considering purchasing a Wii U and SSBU if it ended up, by some miracle, being a good game

This is worse than taking candy from a baby.

This is taking that candy, pissing on it and then forcefully reinserting it in the baby's mouth.

Dude, we all know Reggie got a call from Iwata. Do you seriously think NoA decided this without NCL breathing down their necks? Don't be silly.

You mean Iwata calling Iwata?

That's not worse, I mean the kid still get's the candy.

I wonder if this ban on Melee streams has to do with the foul language you hear often in fighting game streams.

Nah it's probably just them and money.

This is an utter disaster, Nintendo.

I don't think it's just rowdy FGC behavior too, because EVO is one of the more esports of FGC events too, you wouldn't expect fights or lol racist stuff I think. The people commenting will probably be on their best behavior and include Keits, Skisonic, and Ultrachen

also lol
Guys Triforce got this don't worry.

:lol

This will convince Triforce to show up in EVO in his Tanooki suit. He's a Ninty fan, he won't stand for this shit.

Yea guys it's all shirtless Marvel GF's fault. Nintendo doesn't want to see their fans getting hype on stage and taking their shirts off because they are hype.

Wait, what?

You can't just drop that without an explanation or link.

A while back some Spaniards who won a Pokemon tournament went back to their hotel and started flinging human excrement all over the place (and at each other). They had to give up their victory and some other disciplinary action was carried out.

Seriously, why would Nintendo of America care enough to actually tell them to not livestream it? And don't they realize that a livestream could only promote the game more? A really cool moment would sell more copies. I bet Capcom sure as hell realized that Daigo's comeback moment in Street Fighter III: Third Strike probably sold a couple thousand copies. Wake up, Nintendo.

I feel so bad for Smash fans. I really do. This is the kind of company you support, Nintendo fans.

this is funniest/saddest thing about the whole situation. they're shitting exclusively on diehard nintendo/smash fans with this. the one group they're banking on to keep their shitty console afloat. personally, i want the game to show up at evo but im more angry at how heartless/ignorant a company can be concerning their fans. my only hope is that evo sent a half-hearted email to nintendo legal, then they gave a canned response back after barely looking at the email, and that this will all be rectified soon.
 
Nintendo, stop doing this. You don't need even the smallest bit of bad PR right now. Go back to your room and think about what you've done
They've done what Nintendo fans have allowed the to do this whole time. Nintendo has gotten the impression that they can just walk over whatever audience whenever they please. It's just that no one cared when it was Wave Race, F-Zero, Metroid... but now we're in the big leagues with 3D Mario and Smash haha.

They were passionate enough to show support for their game and have 100k donated for cancer. How the everlasting fuck NoA.
 
If you're going to tweet at Nintendo, make sure to include that the community raised $90k towards breast cancer to have it at Evo.

Wow seriously Nintendo this is awful. After all that was done to get Melee to EVO and this is how it goes? Way to spit in the face of your most hardcore fans.

I'm no smash fan but man is this fucked up. I feel bad for the smash community to have donated all that money and Nintendo is pulling this shit. Dumb.

So dumb on so many levels. Then again, that's Nintendo being Nintendo. Not surprised after they were content matching YouTube videos, the message is clearly "either we make money off of online content/streams or no one does."
