So to no shock to anyone, Nintendo had to go and ruin the party by sending multiple takedown notices to the creators of Pokemon Uranium.

After receiving more than 1,500,000 downloads of our game, we have been notified of multiple takedown notices from lawyers representing Nintendo of America.
While we have not personally been contacted, it’s clear what their wishes are,
and we respect those wishes deeply.
Therefore, we will no longer provide official download links for the game through our website.
We have no connection to fans who reupload the game files to their own hosts, and we cannot verify that those download links are all legitimate. We advise you to be extremely cautious about downloading the game from unofficial sources.

We are blown away by the response this game has received, and we thank you all so much for your outstanding support.
We will continue to provide Pokémon Uranium-related news and updates through our official channels.

You are welcome to continue discussing and sharing content related to the game on our forums and Discord, where there is a very active community.

Thank you for reading, and let’s share the love of Pokémon!

It seems that Nintendo as of late has been letting these fan games get a complete 1.0 release and are only then shutting them down, like they did with AM2R.
And to everyone flaming Nintendo for taking down fan projects,nintendo HAS to take them down to protect their IP's, otherwise they would be in copyright hell. Just be glad that Nintendo has been waiting for full releases and not just killing these projects before they're finished.

Bull.

Capcom actually supported the fan dev that went on to make sf x mega man for them, giving them the full backing. They also treated the guy that made megaman unlimited, considering one of their staff accidentally sourced some of his tilesets.

Nintendo could have easily signed off to allow am2r to stay, and have something for the 30th anniversary of metroid. They chose not to, becauae their Japanese board are full of angry dicks.

Yeah, but you either beat them or join them and Nintendo is under no obligation to give them a job, companies can't let these projects be

What's your deal? You can't honestly think nintendo couldn't have handled this better.

As if I didn't have enough reason not to buy a *new* wiiu as it was.

Eeehh, I just think that with Nintendo's track record this isn't that bad.

It still beats Sony trying to have geohot arrested, even when he never took his own ps3 online.

Effing autocorrect. Goddamn!

my bad they appeared to have switched update servers

this is from the pokemon uranium forums detailed instructions on how to switch update servers

For those who have trouble updating their game, i found this steps that worked for me.


[*]Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pokemon Uranium Team\Pokemon Uranium 1.0 (or wherever you've installed the game to)
[*]Look for the folder "neoncube" and open it
[*]Inside is the file "neoncube.ini". Open it with whatever texteditor you prefer (has to be run as administrator).
[*]Change the line "patch_site = pokemonuranium.com" to "patch_site = www.pokemonuranium.com"
[*]Change the line below to "patch_list = /Patches/patchlist.txt"
[*]Your Patcher should now work as expected

Alternative:

• Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Pokemon Uranium Team\Pokemon Uranium 1.0 (or wherever you've installed the game to)
• Look for the folder "neoncube" and open it
• Download this file and put it in the folder you just opened (replace the existing "neoncube.ini")
• Your Patcher should now work as expected

speaking of my theory will nintendo shut down the servers for Uranium's online functions through C&D order? I'd say trade and battle online while you can

While they could theoretically shut down the update servers, I don't know if they'd ever be able to shut down the Tandor Network since it has nothing proprietary on it

Nintendo has no interest in supporting their fans or their creative content. It's not "protecting their IP". It's being a bully. This, SM64HD (only one level), AM2R... None of those devs were looking for money. Just something fun for the fans.

Sega supports hacks/Fan games but Nintendo treats them like they're the devil. More proof that Sega still does what Nintendon't.

All that happened was Twitch got warned and she took down the DL links, which barely matters because there's mirrors everywhere by now. They didn't completely shut her down (yet), which they could definitely have done

oh

well thanks for the info

Nintendo is really stepping their game up! But yeah, as much as support fanmade Nintendo games, I support Nintendo more because they have every right to take action against them. If you make a game based on Nintendo characters without their permission, yeah, it's likely gonna get taken down.

 

[Cha0tic]

A lot of you don't seem to understand why exactly Nintendo does this. Could it have been handled better? Of course they could have.

I run my own business of course much much smaller then Nintendo but I design replica super hero costumes. Now if I design let's say a Spider-Man digital pattern, and then someone takes my digital pattern and works off of it or adds on etc.. Sure I'll be flattered but just like Nintendo I'll tell them to take it down.

like someone said at least Nintendo allowed them to finish it, yes it's shut down but after what, 1.5 million downloads? You know how many people would be willing or are already have made mirrors and what not? It's not like we lost it. Maybe Nintendo has to go after everyone who does this, but they allowed time for it to be released so they aren't so evil.

 

[CeeDee]

Iwata is the reason that:

• Mother 1, aka earthbound zero, while finished on the nes, never released.

EarthBound Beginnings released before Iwata passed.

• Mother 3 never officially left Japan.

It still hasn't... Besides, wouldn't that be up to NoA and/or Treehouse?

 

[Squirps]

Is it against the rules to post links to a game that is C&D'd?

 

[Deleted User]

1. Not illegal
2. Mirror coming up

 

[Deleted User]

Sorry it took so long, here's the mirror: https://www.mediafire.com/?in4pxhjg7akhtbm

a random guy on fb asked for the file (don't trust him could be a nintendo lawyer)

 

[Clydefrosch]

the sad thing is, there really was little reason to keep this as a pokemon fangame. he could've made his own pokemon knockoff and made a few bucks
