So logically, you’d think it’d be the Mario shooter with the ‘Nintendo hire this man’ parody song that’d be targeted here, not Smash Bros Legacy.
What, is Legacy a huge threat to the Ring Fit Adventure Spirit Board event or something? Byleth was the last character in the first Challenger Pack, and was released on January 16th 2020Īnd while technically Ultimate has gotten updates since then, none have been ‘important’ enough to serve as a trigger for a Nintendo legal team fight against fan projects.
The game’s first Fighter Pass was released between them and January this year, and Legacy survived that too. The game was released back in 2018, and Legacy was fine then. The game wasn’t in the news more than usual prior to the end of its development, so it’s unlikely Nintendo’s lawyers learnt about it the same way as did say… AM2R or Pokemon Uranium.Īnd it doesn’t correlate with anything regarding Smash Bros Ultimate’s release either. Yet at the same time, Legacy’s shut down doesn’t really correlate to anything important. Some of which we’ve documented in our article here: On the one hand, that would indeed explain why the shut down was so sudden, and Nintendo has gone after a few projects in the past. So it definitely seems something lawyer like happened behind the scenes here.īut was it really a Cease and Desist notice? True, it’s not technically admitting the project’s demise is down to legal issues.īut the sudden timing of it, the lack of info provided to team members (some of whom found about the end of development at the same time as the public) and the removal of all the game’s downloads certainly indicate it development wasn’t stopped out of choice. Please know this decision is final, and both teams’ leadership is fully on-board.
series of games, we’ve built an amazing community of Smash fans and the relationships we’ve fostered have never been stronger. Amidst these milestones and what we’ve been able to accomplish to celebrate the Super Smash Bros. We’re deeply grateful for being involved in the scene and we’re grateful for every player, creator, and spectator who’s joined us through this venture. Effective immediately, both Legacy teams will be ceasing development of all associated projects. Today we’ve decided that Legacy XP 2.11 and Legacy TE 2.5 will be the final version of the Legacy mods. Since then we’ve created videos, produced live streams, and developed projects Legacy XP and Legacy TE, which are played all around the world. On June 14, 2013, we started a small Super Smash Bros. That’s because like Project M before it, Super Smash Bros Legacy XP has also ceased development, with an ominous message replacing every page on the official site: Unfortunately, it seems this too couldn’t escape Nintendo’s lawyers.
