Can't link to the site, but visting some nintendo rom pages will state "Download, box art, and screen shots unavailable at the request of Nintendo of America".
All of the Nintendo games can still be downloaded by pushing a POST request to the CDN hosting the ROMs using the media ID from the 'allMedia' variable on the game page. Alternatively, you can modify the media ID on another page that has the download button enabled by using Inspect Element.Btw the games that were disabled from download were a wide majority involving Pokemon, Mario and Zelda across several consoles, the rest of the catalogue for each console still remains intact.

EDIT: I'm sure someone could write a Tampermonkey script to re-enable the download buttons for all of these titles. However, because we don't know if this was an official takedown (which I doubt), downloads will be disabled for only a short period of time, before being re-enabled again. Some games were not disabled, such as Super Mario World 2 or Donkey Kong Country.
Yeah, sounds fun. It's not like real jobs and good developers were damaged by this. As poor guy I love "preservation" and emulators, but this kind news is the funniest thing that can happen in gaming news. Better only real lawsuits with Nintendo or other japanese gaming company.Why oh why is it always those fake goddamn takedown requests? Do people really have nothing better to do? I swear, it seems like they want to ruin some websites just because they find it fun.
This doesn't seem to work anymore. I can get it to materialize a download from an active page using the AllMedia, but both MKwii and SMG take you to a 404.All of the Nintendo games can still be downloaded by pushing a POST request to the CDN hosting the ROMs using the media ID from the 'allMedia' variable on the game page.
