While the developers did not disclose the sender of the cease-and-desist, speculation points to Nintendo due to the app\\'s focus on the Super Smash Bros. franchise.

Beyond potential intellectual property and copyright issues, the concept of a dating app centered around a game like Super Smash Bros. might have been a significant factor in prompting the cease-and-desist action. As of now, there has been no further communication from the SmashTogether team regarding plans to pivot the app\\'s concept away from Super Smash Bros. or to explore other avenues.

The situation remains fluid, and fans of the app are eagerly awaiting any updates on its future. In the meantime, we appreciate the restraint shown by not indulging in any \\\"smashing\\\" puns throughout this report.

Smash Bros. Dating App Receives Legal Notice to Stop

Author：Kristen Update：May 26,2025

Smash Together, an unofficial dating app designed for like-minded Super Smash Bros. players to connect and socialize, announced it has been hit with a cease-and-desist letter just before its planned open beta launch. The app, which was set to go live on May 15 following months of development, shared the news on May 13 with a poignant Yoshi meme and the caption: "We got cease and desisted." This update was spotted and shared by Automaton.

While the developers did not disclose the sender of the cease-and-desist, speculation points to Nintendo due to the app's focus on the Super Smash Bros. franchise. SmashTogether positioned itself as the "premium dating site for Super Smash Bros. enjoyers of all kinds," aiming to help users find their "dream Doubles partner (in and out of Smash)" through a specialized matchmaking algorithm designed to "connect you with your ideal Smash Partner."

The app's interface included features tailored to the Smash Bros. community, such as sections for users to list their preferred character or "main," as well as their notable achievements in the game. It also incorporated prompts similar to those found on other dating apps, but with a unique twist, such as "I'm looking for... Someone who can make it out of pools at a major."
