Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

"Hey, don't use code for our dead game console we stopped manufacturing 22 years ago and don't support anymore!"

Who gives a fuck, Nintendo?

    Nintendo could benefit greatly by just allowing these kind of projects, but that would be out of character and we can't be having that.

    It's a bit like if Metallica had just embraced Napster

    It was Scorpions that went after Napster, no?

    Lars Ultrash was the most publicly outspoken and often quoted in the Record Companies PR propaganda push for the DMCA and against Napster. He came off like a greedy bitch at the time, and created the perceptions of Metallica as a cash grab sell out band more than they already were being seen as by long time fans.

    Wasn’t it taken down at Valve’s request, not Nintendo’s demand?
