[VinsCool]

Updated OP with a new download link.

You guys do know that the game was never taken down and the original creator never received the C&D right? This is shitty reporting from several news sites not fact checking their sources and can be found in less than minutes when looking at the devs twitter and the main page for the game.

Shaking my head at the news outlets reporting this and the people believing it right now...

You're wrong about that. I saw the DMCA violation sourced on the download mirrors after it got removed from the main blogspot page. I don't know where you're thinking you're getting valid information from, but you're wrong.

The download mirror was taken down but the original creator never recived a C&D.

Well, the sites hosting the files received DMCA and took them down.

That was metroid database which is a metroid fansite not affiliated with the AM2R project past reporting on it and hosting the files by their own volition.

I do see that the blogspot link got removed in the last 6 hours which is new but I think thats a preventative measure more than anything seeing as he still has not received a C&d.

All of the links got taken down and when they were still on the main blogspot page I visited them to be presented with DMCA violations.

You were presented with DMCA violations? They send that via email mostly. Was the C&D notice uploaded to the website or something?

Yes, they posted info pertaining to the C&D as a reason why it was taken down.

On the AM2R official blogspot or the fansite that was hosting a mirror ? Because if you mean the official website not there now. I'll double check and look at the official fourms.

The links that were removed were a mediafire link, the fan site link and a torrent link. Nothing was said about the DMCA request on the blogspot link and it seems now that everything pertaining to the v1.0 release has been removed from the blogspot page.

Yeah what I'm getting at is that metriod database and the AM2R project and its dev are two different entities. The metroid database guys getting a C&D does not mean that DoctorM64 ever received one which is what most news outlets missed when they mistook metroid database as the official website and reported it as such. Even though the blogspot links were removed recently I'm sure that they were removed as a preventative measure more than anything seeing as he is still denying ever having received one.

The fact that the whole blog post was removed is a good reason to believe they were C&D'd

See? No more release post.

Why would he lie when he says he didn't get a C&D?

Anyone know of an app that lets you run this game on Android? Like a Windows emulator app or something?

 

[VinsCool]

Why would they delete the release post then?

 

[WiiUBricker]

Why would they delete the release post then?

Because seeing that Nintendo is against this game, they realized it's pointless to keep it online?

When I checked yesterday Metroid Database was C&Ded but the blogspot page was untouched, people were talking about this and how the C&D is probably a hoax, but now it's taken down on blogspot too. It's possible the developer got a C&D later. It's still strange that MDB got the C&D long before the developer.

Are we really going to put it past Nintendo of all people to not send out a C&D? Pretty sure they jumped on this the second it was out.

 

[osirisjem]

Nintendo really does suck.
Downloads like this are good for Nintendo sales not harmful.

 

[BORTZ]

Download it while you can I guess.

I feel bad for my friend, he was wanting to wait for the linux release.
