Nintendo of America is the holder of Nintendo's IPs in the West only. It is just a subsidiary of Nintendo.
They aren't cutting content because of their values, but to avoid offending some people in the West. Nintendo is censoring their content because some people may be upset.

About the game's censorship, I just don't think the breast slider should have been removed. Don't know why people would be offended by this feature.

@TG16_IS_BAE A modded and free copy isn't proof enough?
Can you prove that those copies were bought legally?

@TG16_IS_BAE Never saw a well known tournament sponsored by Capcom using a suspicious or modded copy of Capcom's games.

@Wexter
I agree with what you said. Nintendo doesn't see melee as a franchise. The franchise is Smash Bros, melee was just one game of that franchise.

@TG16_IS_BAE Didn't Nintendo supported melee tournaments sponsoring Big House for years even after Smash Wii, Wii U and Ultimate?
Nintendo just didn't agree with the use of suspicious copies of melee.
