"The news is especially harsh since fans raised nearly $95,000 in donations to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation earlier this year to allow Smash to be included in the tournament. Nintendo’s streaming block follows its decision to enforce copyright on YouTube videos in May."

- IGN, quote by Andrew Goldfarb,
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/09/nintendo-blocks-smash-bros-melee-streaming-at-evo


Appearently, Nintendo contact EVO staffs and inform them that there not allow to stream their product. Melee, a ten year old game, not alloud to be stream for EVO/Nintendo fan to enjoy worldwide.

*FACEPALM!!!* ....If this is how Nintendo going to be, why even bother buying the new Smash Bros. if Nintendo going to be this restricted with there content. Don't they know how big the EVO is, Nintendo......your not making it f**king easy to support your software. What happen to you Nintendo.
(No offense to Sakurai, still a fan of your content)

If there any updates on this news, please let me know!!

I like nintendo and their games.. But god, their policies are so freaking retarded...



"It takes nothing but a single pint of milk to ruin the pure, black magic of the coffee."
"Darker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself...that is coffee."

Why not? Players learn A LOT by watching the tournaments!



....The hell? The Smash competitive community is likely one of the biggest competitive ones out there.

And the weird part is that their using Melee not Brawl.

real, I saw a tournament once lol it was like 12 guys in a church basement lol and it was the biggest tournament at the time they had maybe 2k viewers that's when i learn meta knight is op



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

That's weird. I mean they allowed a live stream of all their big competitive games including Melee, Brawl, and Pokemon at Apex 2013 just a few months ago. This might be some way of taking away the spotlight of the older entries to save some for Smash 4 now that it is announced.

Sakurai might not be the biggest fan of the competitive side of Smash Bros. but Nintendo has never tried something like this, to my knowledge, all the other times Smash was at big tournaments. Either way this is a stupid decision.



Nintendo is known to be competitive, if there having these policies with a ten year game like Melee, I wonder if the let's play revenue is lift from youtube or the future for Mario Kart 8 or SSB4. The way Nintendo been acting for the few weeks, I'm just about ready to pack up my Wii U and put it in the cloest for a while.
