    Can’t wait for fans to make a better product than their port in every way, only for it to get demolished by Nintendo lawyers less than 70 hours after release

    Yes that actually happened just a few days ago. Shit like this is why it’s always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games

      I mean, there are 3 big multiplayer mods for sm64 that I can think of offhandedly. Nintendo has been hands-off with them for at least 5 years now.

      there is a reason none of those are actual products.
      actually selling them would probably only make the lawyer’s job easier.

      And the SM64 PC port has existed for years at this point and has no sign of being taken down. You know why? They don’t distribute copyrighted assets. The people that made the Link’s Awakening port screwed up, plain and simple. There’s no other explanation for why their project gotten taken down and not SM64 or OoT ports, which are monumentally bigger games for Nintendo.
