  I don’t think there’s grounds for a C&D here anyway. I don’t think it uses any compywritten material. It transcodes the game into C I think, and that’s all. It does not rely on anything Nintendo created.

    Nintendo is a Japanese company.

      Sure. They could do something in Japan, but if they want to force the development to stop they need to use the laws where the developers are (probably the US). If they want to go after the github (assuming they’re using that for some reason) repo, Microsoft is an American company so US law applies.

        Actually because Nintendo is a Japanese company it means Japanese law applies to their work in America and America will facilitate the laws execution as if it was it’s own because we are in this treaty.

        It’s why Nintendo gets away with all of its bullshit already. Because they are following Japanese copyright law which is significantly more heavy than American.

    That’s logical. Nintendo’s lawyers don’t follow logic.

    I think Sesame Street owns the letter C. The devs better watch out for Elmo.
