Nintendo's fighting a losing battle. This thing's on the net, there's no getting it out of there.

If in fact this DMCA was issued by Nintendo. I recall reading recently of people posing as Nintendo and issuing C&Ds.

I doubt that they really care if it's on the net or not.

If you have a trademark, metroid for instance, that trademark could be lost if you do not show that you are actively defending it.  Nintendo's probably just making a token effort to make sure they maintain the trademark.

This was something I wanted to bring up if no one else did, but also something I wanted to look more into after reading all the replies.  After doing maybe 15-20 minutes of research, what I've learned is that it requires a bit more than that to actually risk losing the trademark.  Though for something like Metroid, it could be plausible, but seems slightly improbable.  Nintendo's probably handling it the way they are to keep their IPs "clean."
