Gaffers in the main thread indicated we need a new thread for this so here it is.
Basically the summary is this: Metroid Database which is a popular Metroid fan site got hit with a questionable takedown notice by Nintendo's lawyers to which they weren't entirely sure if it was legit or not. Project AM2R's main development blog and creator remained unaffected so Modbot closed the other thread given we were reporting not entirely accurate info.
Then this happened:
Mediafire was hit and then Filedropper too:
Project AM2R's comment section and forum is now exploding with comments:
Basically all we're waiting on now is a post or comment/tweet from the developer who remains quiet thus far. It looks like this is happening as we speak as the file hosts were hit roughly an hour ago.
Notably the torrent on Google Drive is still active so grab the game while you still can.
I'll be updating this thread with news as we learn more.

Links are down! Get it via Torrent if it's still available, and do it ASAP!
And...Nintendo just took it down...Because it's Nintendo.
Oh my god! Your link is dead! I can't download the game! Please reupload!
