Nintendo of America has stopped yet another Project+ event from taking place.

Beyond Melee and 64 Remix have also been removed from the tournament due to the internal conversations.  The LTC TOs said Nintendo contacted them about the modded games included on the tournament’s main roster. Just like with the previous interactions between Nintendo and Riptide’s TOs last month, no specifics were shared. But
