      I thought that was taken down by Valve (for supposedly using a proprietary Nintendo library), not Nintendo themselves?

        Oh! This isn’t an actual N64 game, is it? It’s only stylised?

        I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo tried to copyright a style

      He was using pirated official Nintendo 64 development kit software to build the game, so I mean yeah it kind of did…

      To be totally clear I don’t support Nintendo in this decision and it’s a shame it couldn’t be continued but it wasn’t like he was using the available open source toolchain, he was using Nintendo software so at least they had a leg to stand on legally

      Also if memory serves Nintendo never even took it down, they just told Valve (who actively reached out to Nintendo) that they couldn’t release it and the developer took it upon himself to stop the project after not receiving Valve’s blessing.
