I never played the game on any platform, I am one of those snob who have social deduction game on tabletop for years so never bothered.

Okay, good to know.  I am one of those snob who have the social deduction board game for years, so I never bothered to check it out, thus don’t know much about the game.

Okay, good to know.  I never played the game, but being a mobile app, I thought the voice chat would be built-in.

Does the original mobile version supports that?

Premium account only...

Switch has no built-in mic... so this game would be... yeah...

Actually, I really don’t like Sony’s advertisement, I always find their own commercials attacking their own products. Kept attacking motion and VR gaming while promoting their own PS Eye, Move, and VR; attack casual gaming as not gamers while promoting their family friendly games...

It might just be me who had grown accustomed to this, but when I see an open-world RPG, I expect bad performance, glitches, dead-lock, and save wipe from all of them.

Sony is definitely more open with their desire to be digital only. However Microsoft have been working on it since last generate. Both companies are now relying on cross-generation games, we won’t know their last-gen support until a year or two away.

To the non-gamers, I assume their response is “wut?”

We transitioned from people complaining of handful of big magazine sold out to the publishers, so tens of thousands of websites were created in their place. Then these websites lived long enough to be the villains, so millions of video influencers took their place.

Nintendo do indeed use emulator and emulation itself is indeed legal. However, that depends on what you are emulating and how you are accomplishing it.

There is indeed nothing illegal about the development of emulators, usage is in the grey area. However, when money is involved of its usage, it’s no longer in the grey area.

When fans encourage contestants to poke the bear, who have decades of history mauling people to protect their IP, then that’s some very very stupid fans.

I assume Nintendo really want people to buy newer consoles to play newer games, so continuous support had to end sometime. Even Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 a while back.

I get their point, if I want to play some old GBA game, honestly, it’s faster, easier, and cheaper to find an emulator to than a working GBA with the game I want. However, when you run a tournament that involves money, that’s where they broke not terms of services.

I am not big into Smash tournament, mainly because without the items and even Final Smash, the game is incredibly boring to watch. That goes double with Melee, since you only see the same 6 characters using the same technique for years.

Not necessarily. Nintendo have always been at the top of protecting their IP at all cost, that’s why Kotaku regularly have articles on fan games getting shutdown.

On the flip side, the other part of this article mentioned this whole thing started because the tournament was using emulator, something they know Nintendo doesn’t support.

To be fair, do you really expect Nintendo, or any other platform holders to encourage the use of emulator? After someone financially encouraged the Splatoon players to escalate the fights, disrespecting didn’t only came from one side.
