We told you to get those bootleg Game & Watch iPhone games before lawyers took 'em down. Hope you heeded our advice. Because lawyers have taken them down.

Yes, "developers" Mobile 1UP have been forced by Nintendo to remove their copyright-infringing Game & Watch clones. All of them. In their place are now two games starring an ugly monkey, along with a note apologising for the removal of the old games due to a "potential" copyright/trademark violation". Potential. Right.

Needless to say, the appeal of these replacement games is somewhat limited.
