They will eventually be all taken down. That’s the point. They have no legal framework to exist, and Nintendo could strike any time they want, like Rockstar did with the re3 project.
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.
Why expect this to be taken down if other decomps haven’t been taken down already? Why expect other decomps to be taken down?
