Nintendo of America's response:
This isn't unrelated. If there can't be streams of Smash games the next release will be dead in the water as a competitive game.Don't harass Sakurai, he's stressed enough with SSB4 without having to hear complaints about something unrelated.
Do you think they want a cut?I find it more likely that Nintendo is asking for a percentage that nobody wants to pay.
How long before we see a new instructional video for PS4 showing how you can stream your games at the push of a button? xD

Get this trending by using #MeleeStream4EVO and be polite with your tweets. There is *possibly* still a chance to reverse this decision!

This right here distills it all.Reggie knows what EVO is. This is not the first time Smash is at EVO. This is just Nintendo being pure assholes right now. If they were going to do this, they should've said something after the donation, now a couple of days before EVO when people have booked their flights, spent their life savings just for this moment, etc. This is the lowest Nintendo has ever gone.
Just like #NintendoRegionFree, right?
I'm done defending this company... I'm out, fuck it.
I'm inclined to believe these are slightly different scenarios.
I lol'd!Today, at the edge of our hope, the end of our time, we choose to believe in the Empire. Today we face NoA at our door. Today, we are cancelling the Smash streampocalype!

"This is how you share your games on PS4"
No but seriously it's amazing how PS4 and the XBone want you to stream your games but Nintendo is completely blocking it.
This isn't the stupidest thing Nintendo has ever done.This is the stupidest thing Nintendo has ever done. How is it humanly possible to defend this?
Oh, is this the official hashtag? I just used #FreeMelee/#Smash4EVO myself.
Yeah, exactly. If they're getting rather finicky about a 12-year-old game, I have to wonder how they're going to treat Smash 4 in competitive circles and streamed tournaments in the future.This isn't unrelated. If there can't be streams of Smash games the next release will be dead in the water as a competitive game.

The Nintendo I grew up with is gone. They had their last hurrah on the Wii.I would say we should boycott the Wii U but I think people are already doing that.

https://twitter.com/Stealth____/status/354734503610159105I emailed my friend over at Nintendo Legal. He texted me that they are well aware of what is happening now and will talk more later.
RegionFree campaign a bust, that brief period of Nintendo/Youtube shenanigans, and now this are all hopefully wake up calls as to just how little a shit this corporation currently gives about its most faithful and hardcore.
Hopefully result in a whole lot less affectionate "Ninty" usage about town.
This isn't the stupidest thing Nintendo has ever done.
Apparenty a video game not being streamed at some tournament is worse than the virtual boy, the Wii U name and Friend codes.

I told you, Azure. I fucking told youLegitimately fucking upset and Jackie_Chan_mindblown.jpg over this shit. My God, how can a global company exist in 2013 that DOESN'T understand its global market to this extent. What the actual fuck
This is just the right time to do it in Nintendo's mind. People are so flabbergasted and busy that they can't possibly mount a defense. Nintendo likes to go for the heart the first chance they get.Reggie knows what EVO is. This is not the first time Smash is at EVO. This is just Nintendo being pure assholes right now.

Is it really that amazing?
Nintendo have this tendency to either do the opposite of what the others are doing or just not pay attention to anyone's business but their own. We almost should have expected this.
