man gamers are starting to get a bit of a record of demanding what they want "or else" and they receiving it

may this set yet more precedents

We can only hope.

Nice. Very nice.

Nice.

HELL YES! WE DID IT

I am SOOOOOOO RELIEVED RIGHT NOWWWW. Q_Q

q_q

 

[Poltergust]

Yes! Thank goodness...

Now don't do this again, Nintendo.

 

[Hex]

Yes, because clearly, the game not existing at all was the better option.

You are missing the point of that post and the only point of that post.
Bayonetta 2 does not mean that Nintendo has a commitment to the hardcore gamer which is what the original post was about.
It was a hand out that fell into Nintendo's lap.
Nintendo has yet to show a real commitment (on the Wii U).
The 3DS exists in a world of its own, I swear it is like it is run by another company.

Nintendo 180.

Soon Sony will backtrack from something we all love about PS4

 

[MrDaravon]

Good shit. Honestly curious what happened now, regardless of who dropped the ball where that seems like a really quick turnaround on Nintendo's end.

Of course this now raises the hilarious logistics of the stream schedule, because if they re-insert smash back in now it pisses off the other players who had games moved into those slots, especially Persona (which previously was ONLY going to have finals streamed). I know people were stepping up to do streams of Persona and SFxT before all this happened, wonder if they'll just try to more semi-officially accommodate all of those now then or something.

 

[VariantX]

Great news, especially for the people in the community that worked their butts off to get smash at EVO.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

The best part of this (other than Nintendo showing a glimmer of self-awareness and a bunch of people not getting screwed) is all of the people going "heh drink your smash-tears lol" are going to be so upset.

Sweet. Now a mod or the OP himself needs to do a little update.

Soon Sony will backtrack from something we all love about PS4

I doubt it; they can't afford to do anything dumb like they did with PS3 back in 2006.

 

[KeeSomething]

The people who are in charge of NoA need to be fired.

 

[Amir0x]

We can only hope.

The more we stick together to demand what's right, the more stuff like this can happen. Throw off the shackles of corporate preference, become the gamers everyone always were!

 

[jello44]

"Fine Triforce, stop pointing that power glove at my head"

hahahaha

Perfect.

Good on the community.

 

[Vice]

Well that was quick.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

All right gentlemen. Back to region locking.

Well when stuff like DRM and not streaming a game which has a lot of support, there really is no way of defending it reasonably, there should be enough backlash to reverse the decision. Though Nintendo is that one company that never does anything lol.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

So are the people who defended this on Miiverse before going to magically change their tune again too because Nintendo did?

'Course they are. That's how things work.

 

[Kokonoe]

I'm overjoyed, but at the same time, I am still upset that we had to fight just to get a Nintendo game stream going on.

 

[SolarPowered]

Thankfully reason prevailed over at Nintendo HQ. Dudes avoided a major PR nightmare.

 

[Dr.Thunder]

I'm guessing the NOA legal department was on auto-pilot.

 

[IMGF]

looks legit

http://evo.shoryuken.com/2013/07/09/changes-to-evo-2013-smash-schedule/

KoF fans are going to be mad.

 

[abstract alien]

Why was this an issue to begin with? Thanks for listening Nintendo, but what hell is wrong with you?

 

[Cody_D165]

Well that didn't take long.

 

[Infinite]

Good news is Smash is back! Bad news is P4A streaming

Bueno.

wait Nintendo was actually listening... this... this isn't right... what's going on?! This is too good to be true-...

I heard thunder outside my window as soon as I read this. Weird.

oh

FUCK

EVERYONE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WHILE YOU CAN

Internet vs Nintendo , 1-0.

 

[Lumination]

Good. Everyone wins.

 

[Haunted]

I love it when a company gets slapped so hard from their fans and the public that they have no choice but to backpeddle as quickly as possible and 180 their shit. :lol

 

[Kenturoxx]

Now we need to stick together and support the region free movement.

 

[PK Gaming]

Do you hear that? Do you hear the people's cheers? They're celebrating the return of Super Smash Bros Melee ♪

 

[Mesoian]

All right gentlemen. Back to region locking.

HA! Ahh....wow.

I'll see all you guys in Vegas on friday.

Holy shit, Triforce did it :O

 

[Quadraphonic]

So are the people who defended this on Miiverse before going to magically change their tune again too because Nintendo did?

If they're like the Xbox One stockholm syndrome people, they'll be pissed because now Nintendo had to bend to people complaining. What's next? Making companies unevenly distribute money through no region lock?

 

[Jintor]

Damn. That's crazy. Time to get hype again!

Internet vs Nintendo , 1-0.

I don't think that score is accurate. I'm pretty sure Nintendo has quite a few points up against the internet.

[Gartooth]

Yes!! So happy there was a quick turnaround, the community didn't deserve anything like this to happen to them given their strong support of the game. Someone at Nintendo's legal team is probably catching hell as we speak.

 

[enzo_gt]

Lol SRK isn't even loading.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I was told by a former PR person for Nintendo that they viewed YouTube as a giant pirate site, and wanted everything related to Nintendo pulled off of it. Not only did they think this was a good idea, but that this was actually possible, too. So that's the mindset we're dealing with here.

They just don't seem to get this whole internet thing. It's like they are more interested in the tiny amount of revenue people may be generating off of their content than the millions' worth of free advertising their users generate for them.

And I do think that's what it comes down to for them, like with the Let's Play thing. They see a quantifiable amount of money being made off of their products compared to an unquantifiable marketing benefit.

I don't think it takes much thinking to realize that millions of positive impressions of your game is worth more than the pennies of YouTube revenue, but this is old-world thinking we're dealing with here.

i honestly to god thought my original joke post here was maybe being a bit over the top but piracy is literally Nintendo's thought process behind banning this stream my god
