“We want you to know in advance that Super Smash Bros. will not make his return“, can be read in the statement. “Since 2007 we have seen historical moments of Super Smash Bros. created in the events of EVO. We are saddened that Nintendo has decided not to continue that legacy with us this year. We hope that in the future we can celebrate the community of Super Smash Bros. with them”.
Super Smash Bros. has been part of previous editions of the EVO with three of its deliveries: Melee, Wii U and Ultimate, and their tournaments have always been among the most successful, even leaving us with some moments that are already considered part of the history of eSports. As expected, Nintendo has not wanted to make any statement regarding this decision, so we do not know if the purchase of the event by Sony has had something to do with it.
Anyway, EVO has also announced that we will be able to find out which games will be part of this year’s competition next year. March 8 in a special live broadcast.
