Happy Birthday Metroid

[WizardStan]

Samus Aran turned 30 years old yesterday.
To celebrate, Nintendo did absolutely nothing again, but some guy released v1.0 of his fan remake of Metroid 2

Get it while you can, before the C&D comes in and forces him to take it down.

I downloaded the Windows executable, just in case, but I'm going to hold out for the linux build as well.

Oh, happy birthday metroid! Even though I never played the game except for checking out the disassembled and the reassembled version (idk why).

DMCA'd. If you didn't get it you'll need the magnet link for the torrent.

Version 1.1 is out - get it as long as its available (or is the copyright - situation resolved now ?)

 

[ekianjo]

its available directly on dropbox in the forums of the AM2R project. i know, i just downloaded it...

 

[PowerGod]

I pulled it down using mediafire fwiw*. This still isn't the linux build I assume?

* I think that's the first time I've managed to download anything on mediafire.

 

[PowerGod]

there's also another little Metroid game on the same site

Well, if by "related" you mean "literally exactly what we've been talking about" then yes, it is related

I have a licensse that I have to protect but hey, I suck .

 

[WizardStan]

And the guy got an official takedown notice directly to himself from Nintendo. It's gone, no hope of revival. *sigh*

Not really surprising. He really should have sought contact with Nintendo before releasing.

 

[WizardStan]

Nintendo would have said "no", there is no question about that, and there never would have been any release at all. Sometimes it is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

 

[Caine]

The unfortunate truth is that with Nintendo it will be no either way.
