We all want Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo Switch. HD remake, virtual console port -- anything, really. Don't tease us with your LIES.
The above advertisement that was seemingly teasing a reveal of Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Switch popped up during the stream of the major Smash tournament, CEO Dreamland, this weekend. It implied that the game would be playable at an upcoming Smash tournament, Shine 2017, in August. The tease cut away from Melee at the last second, instead revealing that the platform fighting game Brawlhalla would actually be at the tournament. What a bunch of trolling trolls.
People were pissed at the bait-and-switch.
With thousands watching the stream on Twitch, people were understandably getting excited at the beginning of the ad.
Once the jig was up, people started throwing heat at the Shine tournament organizer, the CEO tournament organizer, and the Brawlhalla community manager. Shine organizer Matt "DotZeb" Zaborowski ended up taking all the blame.
