Earlier this week, Nintendo refused to allow streaming of Super Smash Bros. Melee at this weekend’s Evo 2013 fighting video game tournament. The company quickly reversed its decision and decided that organizers of the event had permission to broadcast the Nintendo GameCube game. According to Evo co-founder Joey Cuellar, not only did Nintendo want to shut down the stream; the company wanted to shut down the Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament entirely.

“They were not only trying to shut down the stream, they were trying to shut down the event,” said Cuellar.
