Dear Reader:
Metroid II fan remake hit with takedown notices, dev not sure if they're legit
The Metroid II fan remake years in the making had just released a couple days ago, and now file-sharing sites offering up the download have been hit with copyright claims. Some of those sites specifically say that Nintendo is the one that shut down the file, but the dev behind the project isn't 100% sure. Here's his statement on the matter.
Thanks for all your concern. It really means a lot to us. I request everyone just waits patiently and chillaxes until we hear from the lawfirm. I contacted them and left a voicemail. Nothing yet. If it's real, yes it's going to remain taken down. You'll have to use torrents/other sources instead If it's fake, we will be using a limited upload speed because in just one day, users downloaded 1TB of our bandwidth and our host have a 10TB/month plan with Softlayer.
