Probably. The bot seems to target anything even resembling known names, that's why some people have reported being hit even when their work was completely original. Also, Nintendo being the cunts that they are, would probably wish the remakes to be destroyed too.
A 5 second google search has revealed at least 3 people already Let's Played/Youtubed this game (Including IGN, though I guess that's not a person), with no ill effects.
So... probably not.
Though you'd have to email the people doing those Let's Plays to see if Nintendo jacked their ad revenue. According to Jim Sterling, Nintendo has an itchy trigger finger on that sort of thing.

It's kind of like the automated takedowns on YouTube, good on theory, easy to dodge in real life. For Example, Mari0, the Mario + Portal mashup made in 2012 has been up to this day, even Pewdiepie's video on it had no consequences, and considering the exposure a Pewdiepie video gives to a game, it seems amazing this one flew by their radar.
Guys, they're DMCA's, not copyright takedowns. The latter is a legal action, the former is a "persuasion" to take stuff down for legal reasons. Nintendo has been doing the former. Still sucks (even if they are well within they're rights to), but it is a distinction Though Gamexplain hosted a video of AM2R and they're one of the few Youtube groups that are on good terms with Nintendo so maybe not. It does seem it was only places that hosted download links to the games that got in hot water.DudeistBelieve said:
I do think you'll be fine, though
Both games rip sprites and sound clips directly from past Nintendo games. Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid: Fusion for AM2R and they straight use actual Pokemon in Uranium. Also, the creators of Pokemon Uranium did at first try to get money for the game so quite frankly they get no sympathy from me.kilenem said:
Well if its anything like Nintendo's policy on everything else its "Give me all your money. Now fuck off and make me more money. Oh and I hate you and give me more money for a new console. And stop asking for stuff. Also give me more money."
