The Big N Is On The Move

https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-mass-dmca-takedown-removes-hundreds-of-fangames-from-game-jolt-210105/



So this is a thing.  The Big N has done similar stuff in the past but looks like they're targeting stuff one website at a time.


I just got back into the scene too.



What are everyone's thoughts here on this?

Looks like Universe is yet another romsite that charged money for premium accounts.  That's a no-no on any level; if not Nintendo, someone else could've shot them down pretty easily.

I'll bet it's some idiot who don't realize that fan translation is personal use only.

Like I said before, that's the biggest issue with Nintendo in recent years, they're bullies.
