verb.
In either a sequel or patch to an existing
video game, this term is used to describe when the game
developers weaken a skill, class, attack, character, item, or any other game element (ab)used by players in an attempt to balance the game,
to the point of rendering said elements useless.
1. Sonic is WAY too fast in Brawl. They seriously need to nuke
that shit.
2. Great...They nuked the most popular armor
in the game. Now I have to find a way to get rid of all this junk sitting in my shop.
3. Valve nuked the Scout in the Source version of
Counter-Strike. It was SO much better in 1.6.
