hadn't been requested by Nintendo to stop progress on SMBX?
It's more likely he considered the engine "finished" when he stopped working on it and that he had gotten tired of it and wanted to move onto other projects, and that if there was a takedown request it was moreso directed at the website which was running ads, hosting tens of mario fangames and using an url that could be mistaken for an official nintendo url.
