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).

      @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world 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 :)

      Looking further, it only affects tournaments in Japan.

      “These guidelines apply to community conventions held in Japan country or hosted by people residing in Japan countries.” - Bing Translate

      I’ll let you know if NOA or NOE decides to make something similar.
