@mr_benn IANAL, but somehow, I doubt that. Nintendo's one of the most notorious companies for taking down fan projects. Sega keeps the rights to Sonic, even though they almost never take down fan projects. Only time I can remember them ever taking down a game was SOR Remake. Microsoft never takes down halo fan games, and many Halo fan servers are still up. Only one I recall them taking down was Eldewrito. All these other companies are very lax with what they take down and who they decide to sue, and it's not like any of them have lost the rights to their games. This is very much Nintendo wanting these games gone, it's not out of some sort of obligation. Unless someone with experience as a lawyer wants to correct me and tell me what all these other companies are doing differently that makes them not subject to the same rules as Nintendo.
