asdren : Sadly no one knows how to get into contact with Anonymous. However, if someone goes to the news and they see it, I'm sure they would do something about it.

This is, as everyone else agrees, very disappointing to hear. I hate that it came to Nintendo getting a lawyer involved, though I have been holding my breath ever since coolrom lost nintendo games from their site.

However, I would like to counter a few arguments made in this thread. Legally, no game made after 1964 is copyright-free, unless the copyright holder explicitly released the copyright (must be in writing). Abandonware is also not a legal term, but rather a term used by the community to refer to games that would fall under the legal term 'orphanware', which is software that is technically copyrighted, but no one knows who owns the copyright. There are games out there that are copyrighted (highly doubt any of nintendo's games fall under this) that are considered abandonware because no one knows who owns the copyright (including the owner themselves).

To clarify, orphanware isn't legally pursuable, until someone brings forth proof of ownership of the copyright, after which the software is no longer orphanware.

Still, I'm sorry to hear that Nintendo send you the letter. Hope you're able to come up with a solid plan to keep the site going.

Nintendo even wanted to remove rom hacks such as Super Mario World Master Quest 8?

I can't even imagine the time and effort it took to be fully co-operative with all of their requests they made on this site.

I hope you can find a way to keep attracting heavy traffic here.

You're a good guy David.

I'm wishing you the very best through this.

It was expected that this would happen especially from the reputation Nintendo has with copyright strikes on Youtube and suing people. It's unfortunate that it had to happen here eventually.

I am so sorry to hear that this has happened, David! I had a big fear that this would happen someday, and unfortunately, that fear came true. This really sucks! I love Nintendo, but they can really be annoying sometimes! In fact, I think they are way too sensitive! I mean, I get why they are doing this, but come on! After all, Vizzed is a huge website, and a lot of people know about Vizzed, and it's a great website where people can come and relive their childhood memories! And then Nintendo just forces David to remove a lot of games from Vizzed! I understand why, but I just don't agree. Vizzed is HUGE, and because Vizzed is so big, Nintendo games get more popular and they get more fame by the day, if you know what I mean.

Overall, I get why Nintendo is doing this, but seriously, come on.

Again, I am so sorry to hear this, David! Please keep your head up high, and stay strong, my friend! I hope you will find a solution for this ASAP!

I feel like a part of me and my childhood died, because of this. But I can take a wild guess Nintendo did this to Vizzed is to get people to buy a Wii U or Nintendo 3DS and buy VC games which some people cant do because they don't own either system or they don't have the money to buy the system. I just hope this doesn't mean the end for Vizzed.

Davideo7 : wow I am really sorry to hear that all these games have to be removed just goes to show how greedy and selfish NINTENDO is but you would think they could at least allowed the hacked versions to stay on since NINTENDO did not originally make them,I remember going onto another site called the 80,s that also had NINTENDO games but they don,t have as many as Viz. but despite this major blow I will still continue to come on Viz and I hope that others will do the same.thank you DAVID for allowing us to play all these games throughout the 10 years that they were on here and I hope that all goes well for you

People talking about getting hackers and the like.... gee.. Let's focus more on making sure the site doesn't collapse....

Firstly to the people that never post get involved with the community.. It's easy to say you disagree with a situation that hinders you... how about becoming active on the board (a place that cant be removed by game companies) and actual help support the site as well. 

It saddens me that a lot of you just don't seem to understand... It's Nintendo legal property.. Any likeness to any of their characters or any hacks/homebrews that feature those characters has the legal right to be removed. As I've said before... Vizzed has basically got a slap on a wrist... when if they really wanted to they could pretty much sue vizzed for thousands and maybe even get David a suspended Jail sentence. 

An easy example was the My little pony: Fighting is magic game... Everyone in the community was pumped for it, but because it had characters that Hasbro had legal rights to.. It was cease and desisted. Then the creator of MLP:FIM said she'd help but make llamas instead.. And now the game is legally allowed to be made... There's no doubt that the game would have made Hasbro more money... but the company obviously felt that it wasn't good for them and stopped it... This is pretty much what Nintendo has done...

Also don't forget Nintendo is a business.. And all they truly care about is profits... if you actually look back on what they've done before.. They're not the nice family orientated company they pretend to be...

Still not as bad as konami though lol

Too bad. Nintendo partially spoiled Vizzed as the most popular games were about their franchises. When I saw the title of the announcement, I really got shocked. Anyways, it's good that it was only with the first-party games and not the systems. Looks like now my username has almost no sense here.

Wow, this sucks so much. A ton of games, including the most played ones, have been taken down.

I'm aware it was long expected, even more after we saw them tackle CoolRoms, but I didn't imagine the impact would be so big. Even not very known games or systems have been struck. I would understand if they took down ongoing franchises, but dead ones as well?

Hits like this are hard to digest, but we will make it through. Hopefully some users that cannot play those games now will come over to the forums and at least keep up a bit the activity.

It really does stink guys, but I think things will be ok. David has got a lot of great ideas moving forward, and if we do all we can to help out, I think it will all work out for the best.

None of us that has our eye on what Nintendo has been doing over the past several years online is very surprised by this news as I know David and myself have talked a few times over things that happened with sites like Youtube, CoolRoms and other sites like that over the years and hosting Nintendo content.

It's sad, but maybe this will help us move the site forward to even BIGGER AND BETTER things.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
