Yes!! All is well again!

 

[Tripon]

Wow, this is great. Guess Nintendo can do a 180 as fast as possible.

 

[commanderpepper]

EXCUSE ME! I was doing stuff with my pops when this happened. High fives all around. Come on you know you want to.

 

[Chance Hale]

What? I own one and am a Nintendo fanboy myself. Hell, I'm not even really dissatisfied with it. It's just that with its current library and how it's selling I don't think it's really attracted anyone other than those who always buy Nintendo consoles.

I just read "Hardcore nintendo fanboys" as much more negative than you seemingly implied. Especially in the context of what you were responding to (a post calling people who post on miiverse children)

I'm certainly a fan of Nintendo and bought a Wii U day 1 but I also game on the PC along with the other consoles.

 

[sibarraz]

The hero that we need but that nobody deserves

 

[Kanyon]

Maybe Nintendo thought "Shit, if people watch the stream of Smash they'll want to buy the new one?"

Or is that just wishful thinking, better not look a gift horse in the mouth right?

 

[cafemomo]

I'm very surprised to hear this reversal tbh

 

[Codeblue]

Great. Can't wait to watch.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Hell has frozen over with this reversal

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Damn, that was a fast turnaround by Nintendo. Shitty that they'd even think about blocking it to be streamed. I mean, what the hell would be any benefit of blocking it? By not blocking it you allow the game to be shown to tens of thousands of viewers which could hype them up for the new entry in the franchise coming out next year...

 

[Starfish Hero]

Kinda hope Evo or Nintendo release a statement so we know what happened. I'm putting my money on trigger happy lawyers, and maybe the Evo staff missing some paperwork.

 

[IntelliHeath]

YESSSSSSSSSS

Everything went better than expected

They only stream fighting games at EVO

Good. I was pissed that KOF finals were originally at 10AM

Sorry mates, it's BACK.

 

[Mr. X]

 

[one_kill]

Good Nintendo, good. Now just keep on giving people what they want.

Let's campaign for a new F Zero!

 

[Jawmuncher]

So if they can do a 180 on this when is the region free patch coming?

 

[Omnicent]

Hell has frozen over with this reversal

Wait nintendo isn't region locking anymore (let a man dream)?
Anyway, I'm happy things have reversed back to normal. I'm hype again.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I think you're massively blowing this out of proportion

you're right, going against charity donation drives is totally a great pr move

I'm not sure the point in arguing the semantics over whether this was a big or small PR fuckup if the decisions already been reversed, but okay.

 

[jwhit28]

Hilarious

 

[Ultimadrago]

Haha

[MagiusNecros]

Amazing.

[Wiz]

So are people still boycotting Nintendo products now? lol

 

[Nabs]

 

[Deku Tree]

Would love learn what happened.

Spoiler

Probably never will.

 

[Omnicent]

someone posted this earlier but I think it's apporiate (Nintendo = Marth and Sheik = Smash at Evo)

 

[kewlmyc]

Lol.

Anyway good job everyone.

 

[GuardianE]

Lookit that bald head grow.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Damn straight

 

[akira28]

I wonder if Nintendo is ashamed of the fact that one of its games is somewhat of an e-sport.

If they did all they could with Pokemon IP and current technology, they could create THE e-Sport.

Pokemon Infinite on Occulus Rift?

 

[Arya Stark]

dat viscant truth

yep

 

[Brofield]

Can someone just copypaste the story update?

Even if it ain't much, it's annoying that I can't get Shoryuken to load. At all.

 

[JBtheHunter]

I think this whole thing was a misunderstanding in the first place.

 

[PreyingShark]

Would love learn what happened.

Spoiler

Probably never will.

The lawyers probably acted on their own and when the marketing team caught wind of this they went and killed some lawyers.

In all seriousness, though, I won't be surprised if this is eventually brought up in a future interview and explained there.

 

[toddhunter]

Would love learn what happened.

Spoiler

Probably never will.

EVO Staff: Ok Nintendo, we are going to stream your game this year. You owe us a big money hat.

Nintendo: No.

EVO Staff: Fine, we'll pull your game from the stream and put other games on instead.

Nintendo: Ok whatever.

EVO Staff: Really? Umm ok just kidding, we'll stream it anyway.

I hope it reads exactly like the jiyuna tweets

WE DID IT

 

["God's Beard!"]

Viscant looks like a man being crushed under the weight of his former title. He was pale before, but now he looks ghastly.

Looks like wearing a Power Glove all the time pays off.

It's because he's becoming more pure.

 

[abasm]

If anyone ever contests that Nintendo is a bull-headed dinosaur of a company, I will direct them to this incident.

Only Triforce knows the truth.
All must be revealed!

 

[Mockingbird]

Prolly Lawyers Just Doing Their Jobs. When News Broke And Upper Management Heard They allowed It. Didn't This Same Thing Happen With YouTube Recently?

 

[malfcn]

All this time I thought Triforce was a silly guy with a power glove. Did he actually have influence? And who is going to scoop up his Reggie interview?

 

[Poltergust]

I keep hearing that this entire thing was a misunderstanding...?
