Why would they? This project doesn't have anything to do with them
Neither did Portal 64
I thought that was taken down by Valve (for supposedly using a proprietary Nintendo library), not Nintendo themselves?
Yes, and Valve was in fear of being struck down by Nintendo, hence the action
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.
