He is a mod, so your argument is invalid.

It's not really a conspiracy when you have numerous examples of evidence.

Nintendo doesn't like serious smash even more confirmed.
I want a new Brawl...excluding tripping and character balance it's easily my favorite
Free marketing of the franchise.
tens of thousands watching people have the time of their lives watching a game from the franchise.

i'm pretty sure that's how psasbr was created
they had the stream quality set to 240p
They don't understand basic marketing. With this whole event all they heard was "someone is going to stream our IP and $$ is involved go sick the dogs on'em!"
I love Nintendo. Nintendo is video games in a way that no company will ever be able to match.
However, it has become increasingly clear that over the last two or three years, Nintendo of America specifically has become apathetic and occasionally aggressively hostile towards the Nintendo fan base, which I define as non-casual or core gamers who care about Nintendo franchises.
So you really do not have anything better to do than come into a thread, start thread shitting about a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand and just keep digging away?
*shrug* So be it.

I'm serious though. Can't we come together as a community and raise donations for Alzheimer's research.
It could prevent senile decisions like this being made in the future.

Doesn't the Smash Bros creator hates that people are playing his game wrong?

I guess this is just a combination of Nintendo's usual procedure (no commercial streams allowed) coupled with them considering the fighting game community irrelevant. It still shows a pretty big disconnect though, which is especially weird considering their current situation. It's like they haven't noticed that the numbers they're pulling right now are low enough that even hardcore communities could count. I guess they still expect to turn things around this December?
Anyway, if they were in a better position, something like this wouldn't surprise me at all. It's only a bit shocking due to their current state. I like Nintendo's games, but they're absolutely a bad company as far as relationship with consumers go.
The online was bad, but Brawl had big legs. It was still moving (well, shipping) millions years after release.
Only part of them though. Look at the Animal Crossing team.

absolutely ridiculous
there needs to be some twitter/facebook/instagram/everything campaign to get this decision reversed; or Nintendo better set up some 'let us stream stuff' form or something in the next 3 days

I don't think there was a stream in 2008. They were still selling DVDs back then.

Congrats on fucking over all those other people though. Apparently they can't complain if it involves donations of any kind. Don't give me this crap. I put money into the drive to even though we didn't win and I was happy to do so.
please
Conspiracy theory? I'm saying Nintendo doesn't have an intelligent approach to online and internet communities broadly (and that this action demonstrates that).
I'm not sure what the conspiracy is, here. I'm willing to listen, but it seems more likely that either you did not understand my point or that I didn't communicate it well.

Super lame.
What if we just fucking ignore Nintendo's games so we don't have to suffer this garbage again?
So excluding the most important thing in a fighting game.

I don't really understand why Nintendo is doing this...wouldn't you be happy for exposure about your game? Sooooo stupid to me, I just don't get this at all. Considering the times for Tekken and now that I can't see Melee, I guess that kills my interest in Evo.
EDIT: Oh yea and then it reminds me how much they donated to get their game in...yeah good job there Nintendo, they donate to a worthy cause to get their game in and you say no streaming. Good job

Again, I hated using the term for a LOOOOONG time here on GAF because the perception of a Nintendo Fan to most here = "Will Suck Iwata for Mario, Please Understand" whereas I just enjoy their games and could give fuck all about the memes and extraneous bullshit in the way of getting/enjoying said games.
The majority of my gaming likes comes from them and I have never shied away from stating this. It has come to a point lately though where I just can't see myself supporting a company so asinine and infuriatingly/insultingly backwards without a wholesale change of pace from ASAP to eternity.

Why not do both?
Yeah :\. I love a lot of the games their developers put out, but these types of decisions and policies from them are so irritating. I was so hype to watch Melee this weekend too.
What's wrong with that?

Those are tailored trends; nothing related to this is trending worldwide.

Gotcha. Yea people on Twitter are pointing out it's not banned from EVO, it just is banned from the stream. Thought Nintendo was saying it couldn't be streamed OR at EVO.
Get out of here with that shit.
It's a dick move regardless, and the money was essentially donated under false pretenses. Every person who donated has a right to feel fucked over by Nintendo.

That was amazing, wow.
Alot of coverage on twitter and whatnot, some people have it the facebook but sadly as has been said Nintendo has no online liason and no community presence. There are a couple of days to work with but as we have already seen schedules have already been wrecked and caused chaos due to this.
the only thing I would say please to is your expectation to be reimbursed after you DONATED MONEY.
DONATED.
DO-NA-TED.

Tailored trends are irrelevant.
Always good to read your posts and once again, spot on. Like you say, fighting the internet will get them nowhere. If only the likes of Arakawa and Lincoln were still at NoA...
That would imply people aren't going to buy a wii u just for that.
It will be at least four more years before anyone at Nintendo even understands what Twitter actually is, and another two years before they start using it to actually interact with fans.
The Twitters they have now are just to auto dump information out.

And you're being a dick. The prize for donating the most money was having said game get streamed at Evo, and now Nintendo has removed that. Of course people are going to get pissed off.
