Nintendo's legal battles are said to have begun to target sites that host integrated types of Super Super 64 PC port that was available on the Internet last week.
According to a follow-up story by Torrent Freak, after the premiere VGC report, links to download the effective version have started to disappear from various file management websites.
The action – at least in part – was taken by a US-based law firm, Wildwood Law Group LLC. The company is said to have partnered with Nintendo previously to "push the availability" of repair tools and related products.
Torrent Freak managed to handle one of the complaints lodged with Google (via LumenDatabase). Here is what it said:
The copyrighted work is Nintendo's Super 64 64 video game, including audio visual work, software, and graphics characters covered by the U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA (REDACTED).
The reported file contains Nintendo-based work that you have the right to publish.
Nintendo has been looking at YouTube ports for uploading PC ports – with many videos receiving copyright strikes.
Although legal action has been taken so far, there are still cases where Nintendo's law firm has filed a complaint and has not been fortunate enough to have the removal of the links. If we hear another development, we'll be sure to let you know.
