Some of the context might be lost for people who aren’t particularly plugged into the Melee community. Read more

If there is one company I don’t trust its Nintendo. They make some fantastic games but time and time again they have done shady stuff through out their history and to their fans.  Read more

I’m not sure if kicking our scene in the dick over and over again is “caring” about us, but go ahead, Nintendo. Read more
