News / Tournaments

No, this is not a tournament announcement.

Nintendo has published guidelines on how to run #tournaments. I haven't read any of it, so I can't give you a summary, but this could potentially be pretty bad (I'm assuming the worst considering what's happening in the past with the #SuperSmashBros community).

@[email protected] @[email protected] for ANY Nintendo game? It says "Nintendo copyrighted materials" which would include 1981's Donkey Kong.

Does this mean that a Donkey Kong tournament will be treated this way too? Or Popeye?

Nintendo's treatment of their fans never stops amazing me. At the same time, it appears to only affect Japan (to my understanding). Perhaps the solution is that all huge unlicensed Nintendo tournaments are held in Shanghai instead :)
