Nintendo’s relationship with the grassroots community behind competitive Smash Bros. has been strained for a while now but Nintendo’s recent efforts to stop an upcoming Melee tournament may be the end of the game altogether.

The tournament organizers of The Big House 2020 received a cease & desist notice from Nintendo as a result of their use of Slippi a tool that allows PC emulated versions of Melee to be played online. Under COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions, an in-person tournament would be illy advised at least and impossible at best.

With no updated version or port of Melee ever being released by Nintendo and seemingly no plans to do so in the future, tournament organizers don’t have another option to run Melee tournaments. As a result of Nintendo’s actions, a lot of pent up anger over Nintendo’s lack of support for one of the strongest esports scenes is spilling out into the public discourse.

For many years Smash Bros. fans, organizers, and pros have tipped toed around their one-sided relationship with Nintendo - but that’s over now. The competitive Smash scene has overcome a lot on their own and Melee alone has ‘died’ and been reborn multiple times. We’d be surprised if they don’t manage to overcome this somehow as well.
