They made use of Nintendo sound effects and art- Nintendo is basically forced to issue these if they want to maintain the rights to their IP.

If you’re going to take the time to make a game, just make it your own and stop using Nintendo’s IP. Nothing wrong with making a spiritual successor. It looks like the people who got the DMCA are doing just that. Good on them.

Including ripped Nintendo assets in your public Git repo is a death sentence. They had it coming. It was easily avoidable but they did it anyway.

When Nintendo takes down fan games of dormant series like this, it makes you wonder why they don’t release a new entry.

It’s not like they were using the IP! I bet they would take down Star Tropics fan projects if they ever found out about them

It’s Nintendo after all. They HATE fangames with a burning passion.

Its amazing how many people scream their support for artists rights to their art when it comes to things like AI learning, but are perfectly fine with someone just taking and using Nintendo’s stuff and trying to use it for free.
There are people out there that would physically threaten you for using their OCs in a picture, story, or animation but are just fine with some rando taking and using Mario, Luigi, or Pikachu as if they own them.
Internet artists can be some of the biggest hypocrites around.
