shadykid Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) nvm, the Marth thing is in pool I61 (quarterfinals), which assumes all the Marths (G$, Taj, Tai, PPU, and others) make it there first still though ^puerto rico is one hour ahead of central time (it's 2 normally, but daylight savings) OH THAT'S WHY IT'S DISPLAYED AN HOUR BACK FOR ME *facepalm* Edited July 7, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arvilino Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) I've heard apparently EVO never actually asked for permission from Nintendo to show the content, though they're still allowed the matches.

PKL Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I;m extremely mad at Nintendo. The melee community donated 95,000 to get melee in EVO. Now nintendo just says no? They're such...retards. I mean, it could also serve as free advertising for smash 4 and stuff. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The link isn't working. Could someone fill me in on the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvilino Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The link isn't working. Could someone fill me in on the situation? There was a decision for streaming at EVO, a set of games where going to be streamed based on the amount donated to a breast cancer charity by fans of the specific games, Melee fans donated ~$100,000 so it was going to be streamed. However due to Nintendo's policy surrounding unlicensed third party streaming of their IP's EVO is unallowed to stream the Melee matches because they did not have permission. Quite a few people are upset because of all the money donated, but I doubt Nintendo were even aware of anything prior to the announcement of the game being streamed so I don't think they were doing it despite the donations.

shadykid Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) ^they pulled the same crap for Brawl when it was on MLG, I'm fairely sure they know what's going on I'm gonna quote this guy about it: (not you, a mod on neogaf, I can't do quotes right ) What I take away from this is that Nintendo's network related struggles go much deeper than simply having friend codes. It's this sort of thing which is, to me, more telling. It suggests they do not understand networking more broadly. This is a social event; it is a way for a community of people who ostensibly enjoy their game to come together. They seem to view the developments of communal, online gaming as some sort of alien force to be exterminated, and I think this serves them a profound disservice. edit: oh yeah this reminds me, how do you change the person's name you're quoting Edited July 10, 2013 by shadykid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 MELEE IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Finally, Nintendo understands! I guess the thousands of people that complained in their twitter and all those calls helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorena Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I am more inclined to believe that Nintendo at the last minute decided that it would be in bad taste to not allow the request of streaming at EVO. Nintendo with the WiiU at 2012 or 2013 E3 I believe have explicitly stated multiple times they are attempting to try recapturing the hard core fans of gaming. Obviously, Melee and a huge national tournament represents a good chunk of the hard core fan base. Saying no would only further drive away the very people they wanted to try getting back. In the end, I only see Nintendo doing this because they have to rather than because they want too. Edited July 10, 2013 by Vorena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Well that was resolved quickly. As soon as I understand what's going on it's no longer an issue lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 It looks like my wii is no longer reading game discs, so no brawl for me for an indeterminate period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessence Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 that happened to my melee disc that happened to me too with melee, and later with brawl, but yesterday the wii read the disc and I played normally, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentai~ Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 It randomly happened after I took out my mario kart wii disc. I switched to LoZ windwaker and it just stopped reading every single game afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes pikachu much sadder ;~; At this point I think it'd probably be better to save up for a wii u instead of getting another wii. Orrrrrr maybe by some miracle the wii will decide to work again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
