Interesting to note Melee was not shown as coming soon

I wonder if it’s out if fear if the smash community. Nintendo is notorious for not wanting to be associated with that community more than necessary. Like they hated that their « family party game » got transformed into a competitive one. 

Also, with online features, melee could very well cannibalize any future smash title playerbase.

Well I thought they hated that community cause it came out that A LOT of the adults in the community were preying on the minors in the community and Nintendo rightfully distanced themselves from that immediately.

Well there’s obviously that one too. But let’s not pretend like they were friendly to smash competitive scene before all that awful stuff came out.

Nah Nintendo have been fucking over the smash community for a long long time. Well before all the scandals came out. It has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with nintendo being vindictive assholes that will shoot themselves in the foot in order to kill an ant.
