The game finally made it onto Windows PC this past weekend after years of blog posts. Project AM2R had been in the works since 2012, with its developer (known as Doctor Mario 64) intent on revamping Metroid 2: Return of Samus with new graphics, the gameplay of Game Boy Advance title Metroid: Zero Mission, new areas and other improvements. This is an unsurprising but no less bittersweet end for the Metroid 2 remake. “Just as Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of others, we must also protect our own characters” Still, we’ve reached out to the firm for more on the takedown notices, and if they issued them to the game’s developer as well as fan sites. A popular Super Mario 64 HD remake went offline not long after its release in March 2015, and its developer posted a similar DMCA notice from the law firm as an explanation.

The ZIP file is no longer available to download, but a torrent remains live on the remake project’s blog. That’s in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the letter says.
Fan site The Metroid Database, which re-hosted the download on its own page, also received a notice from Nintendo’s legal counsel directly.Ī letter from Miller, Nash, Graham and Dunn LLP cited infringements of Nintendo’s copyrighted material from games like Super Metroid, Metroid: Other M and Metroid Prime, alongside Metroid 2. Initially available as a free Windows PC download on sites like MediaFire, the link from the game’s page now cites a copyright claim from Nintendo of America. 7, however, file hosting services had removed the game download. The fan remake of Metroid 2: The Return of Samus came nearly 25 years after its original Game Boy release, giving fans a new way to experience the classic game. 6, just in time for the series’ 30th anniversary. The long-awaited AM2R: Another Metroid 2 Remake launched on Aug.
