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

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

Yes, but mainly because Valve doesn’t want to deal with Nintendo’s lawyers since it used their libraries.

I really wish they would and set a precedent for Nintendo’s anti-consumer tactics.

Officially yes. We have no idea if Nintendo sent a private email saying “please figure this out before we do.”
