“I’ve felt that each new Kirby game gets slightly more difficult and sprawling than the last,” he added, “So from that perspective, we took another look at the origin point of the series, and set our sights on developing a game where even young children who have never played a game before would be able to stick with…

I think people should remember this is just one of several discrepancies. On its own, it may be trivial, but not if there are others.

I don’t get what the problem is. He wasn’t breaking any rules. The only obligation he has is to do his best within the defined rules of the tournament. If you don’t like the Jigglypuff strategy, ban her.

I stopped following him on Twitter when he started pushing the Qanon BS.

That's all we need in the US... more trolls and edgelords.

I mean, the Super NES had a smaller model released 6 years into its lifespan. I was okay with that.

They had an awesome blind match, though. All Jake had to do was land the DDT but without being able to see, he relied on reactions from the audience.

I probably should've waited... I just really wanted to play Breath of the Wild.

I was just clarifying that Nintendo has indeed allowed “games to be made that couldn’t be played on original models,” to paraphrase what you said. That’s all.

The jump for the "Pro" consoles wasn't just nice features?

DSiWare games:

Nintendo has allowed games to be released that only work on updated models. That’s a fact. I don’t know what you mean by “extent” but it happened. You even acknowledge it in your post. It happened with the New Nintendo 3DS and the DSi. Similarly, it’s happened before with peripherals, like the N64 Expansion Pak and…

“Handheld upgrades never prevented you from playing the latest games.”

Nintendo has done just that before.

I was always more concerned about the DSi... but at least my DS was backwards compatible.

Nintendo won’t make reference to it anymore, only the newer models, and it’s inevitable that there will be SOME software I won’t be able to run on my model. Nintendo has done this for two handheld generations now.

Well, if it’s just going to be a little faster, then... urge to kill falling.

I'm actually okay with the downgrade that's more mobile-friendly.

I WILL KNOW!
