@[email protected] @[email protected] for ANY Nintendo game? It says "Nintendo copyrighted materials" which would include 1981's Donkey Kong.
Does this mean that a Donkey Kong tournament will be treated this way too? Or Popeye?
Nintendo's treatment of their fans never stops amazing me. At the same time, it appears to only affect Japan (to my understanding). Perhaps the solution is that all huge unlicensed Nintendo tournaments are held in Shanghai instead :)
Looking further, it only affects tournaments in Japan.

I'll let you know if NOA or NOE decides to make something similar.
