Nintendo is doing everything it can to show hardcore Super Smash Bros. fans that it gets them.
The Evolution 2014 fighting-game tournament took place over the weekend in Las Vegas, and Nintendo directly addressed its fans while also financially sponsoring the event. The multigame tourney featured Ultra Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 in addition to Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Melee. During that game’s later rounds, Nintendo presented a recorded speech from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime where he thanked fans for continuing to support the classic GameCube fighter. The executive also took the opportunity to talk about the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS, which will hit later this year. Obviously, the company wants the large, dedicated fighting-game community to move to those titles to help boost sales.
