Nintendo Nintendo Bans EVO Streaming for Smash Bros

[Steve-O]

Regrettably, we’ve just been informed by Nintendo of America Inc. that we do not have permission to broadcast Super Smash Bros. Melee for Evo 2013. In light of this, we must make the following changes to the schedule.

Smash has been removed from the stream schedule and replaced with a mix of Persona 4 Arena and King of Fighters XIII
Smash Finals have been moved from Sunday to Saturday, 2:00 PM

BULLSHIT

Well that just sucks.....oh well....at least it was well replaced by persona but still disapointing...ill just watch persona

No idea why Nintendo chose to do this in the first place... The statement has been since reversed, and Smash bros Melee will be shown at Evo through the live stream.

They're reinstating it. They reversed the decision and will a stream.
