SM63 is back on Newgrounds
Posted: February 5th, 2016, 11:25 amBack in July 2013, Super Mario 63 was taken off of the Newgrounds sharing platform.
This week, however, I randomly stumbled upon Runouw's games on Newgrounds and there I saw that Super Mario 63 was, as a matter of fact, back. This IS Runouw's original upload, from 2009, so not a re-upload, and the 2012 update (which added Thwomps and Flame throwers) is present. Apparently, browsing the comments seems to indicate that the game was allowed back on Newgrounds around January 2015, as this is when the first comment after the C&D was posted (and comments are posted pretty regularly).
It doesn't change much, I just felt it was important news and therefore worth sharing with the members of the forum. I also didn't find any topic mentioning the return of SM63 on Newgrounds, and the wiki still says that SM63 cannot be found on Newgrounds. Some of us also did panic when the news broke back in 2013, so I feel it might be reassuring to some.
