Feels bad, this definitely sounds like a Nintendo problem. I know very little about Cygames, but I DO know Nintendo, and this lines up with what they do. No idea if it was this or low $$$ that got it shut down tho. Why's this horrendous corporation gotta make such good games D_D

Also tbh, I can totally understand not wanting to risk legal ramification. I think that they could reach an agreement to be independent and Nintendo not strike this event specifically. However time is an issue...

@LordKrondor9000 @Fizzi36 Nintendo isn't trying to restore faith in Smashers, it's trying to trick the mainstream audience that was brought into this thanks to the massive creators that helped shine a light on this issue.

@That_Guy_Negus Nintendo taking L's left and right with their ****** internet service 😔

@SalvatoreZomba Potentially? Idk if nintendo specified anything about Streaming specifically in that response tho so that might be where trouble arises maybe we’d need them to say publicly that SWT can be streamed too. I really hope SWT can be saved

@SalvatoreZomba theres a world where someone gives a mountain of money to reistate swt finals, and then nintendo backpedals the other way and issues a c&d days before the event for not having a license

@Strawhatdad_ @HugS86 Assumptions are not concrete enough to make proper decisions. Do we assume it's ok, or assume it's not? Nintendo as the IP owner needs to issue a plain and clear statement. "Yes you can, or no you can't." Without clear direction, it's only safe to assume the worst.

Nintendo wants feedback? Ok, here it is Dad, **** off. I'm doing just fine without you in my life trying to 'fix' everything after all this time. Just go away

Sir Lawrence with a *****
(@HapyFamilyDad) reported
@MegabusMogul @nicholasdeorio @Cheesyboy324 Nintendo is not unique to this at all. Try to mess around with Legos and their IP. The issue is that in some countries, if you don't actively protect your IP, you lose your protection. Fair use, in reference to US copyright, would not in any way cover be used in this case.

@MrViPR @FloppyEarsRCute Dunno what the problem with that one is but that isnt even made in Nintendo that's just 2nd party they have exclusive to publish(your looking for mario,switch sports) But from someone who has played since day 1 the so obvious some stuff they needed to do bit ignored

@ClownfishTVcom Did SWT have any choice other than to cancel remaining events, since Nintendo didn't grant their license? Nintendo has always had issues with fan events.

@Emfrald @janktheguy @SaturnZelda I'm sorry, its just not a "either or" situation here. Both are telling the truth, sort of. Nintendo didn't *force* SWT to shut down, they just also did. They put them in a situation where continuing would bring massive legal trouble, as they were told they'd need a license 1/2

@MrDracoFishy @bubblegumsdad @SmashWorldTour Nintendo has not mentioned security. They reference their “health and safety guidelines” which they then fail to define. VGBC events may have bad security that’s now what I’m arguing. If that was the reason why not communicate that and let them fix it?

@NintendoAmerica I got my charizard, but what the hell? Fix the damn game! There are moments in the Tera raid battles where I can’t select anything, or I will have my UI flash in and out. This is bad, and ruins the fun. Not to mention the shield won’t break, or zard won’t faint.

@fr0gs3 To be fair, the Switch’s specs are sub par compared to its contemporaries, BUT Gamefreak is god awful at optimizing their games for the hardware, plus the crunch times from Nintendo definitely exacerbates the problem

@SanoKeo @alexa_logan Now Nintendo is having massive internal miscommunication issues with one side saying one thing and another side knowing the truth of the whole deal and Panda is rushing towards their legal team to gather the pieces and think how they can save whatever might be left of their rep.

@realblaines Let's just hope their statement continues to be true and that they push to keep making patches that will hopefully fix performance. A statement made by Nintendo feels more believable than Gamefreak, so here's hoping, cause the game is fun but really hampered by the performance.

Thinking that I will be getting Pokémon Violet soon seeing as Nintendo put out a statement saying they’ll actually commit to fixing the problems that plague the game.

@sheen73173663 @PracticalTAS Sora care. They're the devs of Smash and they undoubtedly love seeing their game be played in tournaments. Nintendo's the problem here.

@Arifalphin @bubblegumsdad @SmashWorldTour Nintendo did not reach out to get them licensed, one of the problems was that nintendo refused to license them

That new patch didn’t fix the frame rate issue. Come on, Nintendo. Get your **** together lmao

@NintendoAmerica Screw you. You didn't actually FIX any performance issues, just target duplication bugs in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, AND glitched raids. Just got a 30 min ban because YOUR update makes raids crash! Unacceptable. Stop ruining your already-terrible game.

@990Sofyan @IGN They're talking about grass roots smash ultimate and smash brothers melee tournament being forcibly shut down by Nintendo which are great games The problem is that Nintendo said it was fine and then one day turned around and shut us all down

@jammjamss SO there's a lot but the first one I saw was the one where Tom Nook was like "You're going to be alone with no friends since this is what the game is about" (not exactly, but the way Nintendo would have said it) and it was so erie! And then I saw another using the old 07 glitch

Warp
(@TurboTheBaby) reported
Nintendo replaced my entire switch And put my data on it I think that means I broke it so hard, Nintendo couldn’t fix it

@AnJrew_Sucks @IGN the hate only started after they paid $60 for a game so broken it felt like paid beta testing. before that I never saw Nintendo trending or going viral for something they did.

@kam4ran The former Treehouse people got iced and then ultimately fired because they wanted to do a nuzlocke of a pokemon game. Like cmon now, that's the level of disconnect and insanity at Nintendo.

hey @NintendoAmerica how about you do something to fix the god awful timers in the Tera Raids for Pokemon Violet/Scarlet. Literally unplayable in most cases. #PokemonScarletViolet

@LandfallGames i have no idea if the devs of stick fight know this but i have to assume it's a problem with the game, whenever me and my siblings play stick fight on nintendo switch, it crashes alot, so it would be awesome if you could look into that and fix it.

@IGN I really wish game journalists hadn't been keeping their heads all the way up Nintendo's *** for years already. Might have some real, investigative coverage of this issue instead of some regurgitated PR.
