Yep, they shut down Project AM2R. I interviewed the developers right as they received the notice. A decade of work gone. They weren't selling it, they were not asking for donations or anything. I do wonder though if Nintendo might pick up devs like them for future games. Not likely though, honestly, since Project AM2R used Game Maker and not a 100% custom coded engine, or even something like Unity. I can still hope though.
They also pulled the Nintendo Power issues off of Archive.org (also covered on my site), pulled an online multiplayer Pokemon game (again covered) and then did the blanket wave against the Gamejolt/Github fan games (again, covered on RGM). They are on quite the warpath since they also went against Youtube channels and content creators a few years ago.
That is just terrible. They are just as strict as Paramount with Star Trek, Star Trek Axanar got the same treatment. They were doing their Fan film to just do it, and they didn't like that they brought in over 1 million in crowd funding to make it. Freaking sad. With out fans, their properties would never thrive.

Covered that one too. It is indeed sad. These HUGE companies think they are impregnable as far as their earnings go. They are earning those profits because of the very people they are attacking with this litigation. I call it the "Metallica Method".
