- CM30 11y agoWell, that didn't last long: "Nintendo asked us to remove this site for copyright infringement. I guess Zelda30Tribute was a little too pixel perfect :-) We're sad about that, but we get it. We started this project because we love Nintendo and the joy they have given us throughout the years. From the start of development, we knew this result could potentially happen. Nintendo has every right to protect their IP. No complaints from us, we had a blast working on this tribute and made some friends along the way. " From the exact site linked. Looks like this project went the same way as that Mario 64 Bob-omb Battlefield remake and Full Screen Mario.
- brianwawok 11y agoNintendo is very very fast at copyright infringement notices. I am curious if they have fancy tech, or just a department of 50 people surfing the net all day.
- CM30 11y agoI suspect just looking at gaming news sites would probably be adequate for this stuff. Search for the game, and results come up from Kotaku, CNet, the Verge, Nintendo Life and Reddit, among a ton of others. It's even on Product Hunt. Heck, why even go that far? Given how often it gets updated, Nintendo's legal team is probably just skimming GoNintendo posts and seeing what 'questionable' projects come up. So no fancy tech or constant surfing. Just likely some bored guy checking a few gaming sites every few minutes.

- jonbeebe 11y agoTake your tech and build your own game with it, using original graphics sounds, levels, etc. of course. Might as well put your hard work to good use! I loved the old Zeldas and would love to play a new game with the same mechanics and style.
