Nintendo addresses Smash World Tour fan competition closure in lengthy statement, insisting decision to cancel this month's Championship was organisers' 'own choice'
At the time of its announcement, organisers said Nintendo's actions meant it would be"losing hundreds of thousands of dollars". It added the move was also something of a surprise, given that Nintendo had last year reached out"to see if [it was] interested in working with them and pursuing a license as well".
"When we notified the SWT that we would not license their 2022 or 2023 activities," the company wrote,"we also let them know verbally that we were not requiring they cancel the 2022 finals event because of the impact it would have on players. Thus, the decision to cancel the SWT 2022 was, and still is, their own choice.", writing,"We are struggling to understand why Nintendo contacted us at all last week if they truly wanted us to continue operating.
It's clearly a messy and difficult situation, but hopefully, with Nintendo having twice now given public approval for this year's Smash World Tour Championship to go ahead, organisers can still find a way to hold the event and bring the 2022 competition to a close.Nintendo would like to explain to all Super Smash Bros. fans and interested parties the background and rationale related to our decision to not grant a license to the Smash World Tour for their upcoming activities.
