Project AM2R had previously had DMCAs applied to its download hosts, but as of this morning has also had such a notice pointed at the lead developer's personal inbox. As a result, the game will no longer receive updates. So that's fun.
As a bonus, indie and fangame site Fireside was yesterday hit with a DMCA that covered a grand total of 562 Nintendo-based fangames, forcing their removal. The full list can be found at their link.
In other words, it's not a great time to be a fangame maker for Nintendo property right now. Nothing quite like a company deciding to squash the goodwill of their fans by targeting freely-made, freely-available fanworks.
Thanks to Shardwing and Sabre230 on reddit for the heads-up.
