Their business strategies blow ass. Could be bigger than Apple if they wanted but these slopes have no imagination.
Nintendo has a long history of shutting down people and groups that just want to use their games either on a different platform or host public events.
I was part of a group in the early 2000's that tried to get Nintendo's approval to port some old games to PC. People were already doing it illegally, but we thought Nintendo would be interested in a more legit operation. We wanted to make it free, and were willing to pay the licensing fees to Nintendo so they wouldn't sue. Nintendo reps squashed the idea and threatened to sue anyhow.
These were people that loved the games and they weren't legally available on a PC, but Nintendo didn't care and would rather have nothing available for fans.
Don't understand why you would even need their permission to host a tournament. If you make a requisite to have all participants show proof of ownership of the game, I don't think there's much Nintendo could do legally without over reaching.
Good. These Smash Bros tournaments are crawling with pedos.
Nintendo being Nintendo.
Nintendo put out a post saying something like, "link your favorite Nintendo music!!" then they went thru and copy striked all the videos people linked. They are huge faggots. Like I bought a Wii orginally and they had like 6 games come out for the whole system that were worth a shit? Then they did the same thing for Wii U? Fuck them.
