Controversy Erupts Over Nintendo's Restrictive Tournament Rules

The Norwegian Consumer Council, which has previously clashed with Nintendo, has criticized the company's new tournament rules for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The council argues that the rules were not presented to players when they purchased the game and that they restrict game modifications and ban custom controllers, which can exclude players with physical challenges. The council plans to discuss the issue with other European consumer bodies to potentially force Nintendo to change its policies on esports tournaments.
