DMCA / Mario Royale taken down completely now

Mario’s online adventure into the Battle Royale has been brought to an end.

This comes even after InfernoPlus changed the name of the game to Infringio(a play on words between Infringment and Mario).

InfernoPlus statement

Sorry, your battle royale is in another castle.

Unfortunately, Uncle Nintindie’s lawyers have informed me that, despite my best efforts, the game still infringes their copyright.

They refused to give me specifics (I asked multiple times) but it would seem that either the level design or general mechanics are still too close to the original game.
As a result I can’t just blindly change the game and leave it up. Doing so would put me at risk of further legal action.

I’ll likely talk in detail about the game and it’s short lifespan on my youtube channel in the coming weeks.

I’m sorry about this guys. It was fun while it lasted.

InfernoPlus update

InfernoPlus said that he would likely have been left vulnerable to legal action and will likely provide more details about the situation on his Youtube channel.

Psssst

Fans have revived Mario Royale (with the original Super Mario Bros. assets) in open source form here; http://77.68.80.27/royale/index.html#

We wonder how long this will last though
