Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!

They also have valid reasons to think that these projects are causing them to lose money, since they give alternative (and technically better) solutions to play their old games, without buying any Nintendo hardware or software (unless you dump your games, but let’s be honest. You don’t).

You could say that about Pokemon MMOs too, and yet I’m playing PokeMMO in 2025 on my PokeMMO account I created back in 2013.
There are some things Nintendo don’t go after, and there are other things that they do go after. Decomps don’t appear to be something they go after, which is good because then we can get cool ports of older games too.

Pokemon MMO’s are the entire different thing. I am not 100% sure how they developed them, but they seem to be just reimplementations of original game mechanics, but while reusing original assets.
And yet I don’t understand why you say they are not taken down by Nintendo. Couple of them were already closed down because of copyright infringement, and they make big news about that.

Pokemon MMOs literally use Pokemon assets as well as trademarked data too, and they’re literally using Nintendo’s intellectual property.
I say they haven’t been taken down, because, I’m playing PokeMMO in 2025 on my PokeMMO account I created back in 2013. PokeMMO has been around for over a decade, Pokemon World Online has been around since like 2007, Pokemon Revolution Online has also been around for a decade, etc.
Do you have any proof of any Pokemon MMOs that have been taken down by Nintendo?
