Enlarge / A scene from Another Metroid 2 Remake, one of many fan games recently taken offline by Nintendo DMCA requests.

Online game distributor Game Jolt has removed over 500 fan games from its public pages after it says it received a DMCA request from Nintendo, highlighting a more-focused crackdown on such games from the 3DS and Wii U maker.

The DMCA request, which has been republished by Game Jolt in the name of transparency, focuses on fan games that use the characters, names, and locations of the Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon franchises. The list of affected games ranges from standard copyright and trademark infringement like Mario Minecraft and Pokemon: PewdiePie Edition to more explicitly brand-damaging titles like Mario on Drugs and Pokemon: Death Version.

Game Jolt says affected titles will still be accessible by the creators in a “locked” mode, to ensure no one loses access to their own data. A Nintendo representative was not immediately available to respond to a request for comment from Ars.
