The Streets of Rage Remake fan project we told you about last week has been shut down by Sega's legal department.  According to the game's official forums, "While this issue is being resolved, please do not upload the game for others to download. Any links posted on this site will be removed. Thank you.."  Of course, the cat is already out of the bag - so the proposed "damage" is already done for SEGA.  

Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Genesis is one of my all time favorite co-op games, especially in the Beat Em' Up genre.  So there's little doubt that a fan made project that took more than 8 years to complete, and based on the franchise,  is something that has piqued my interest.
