Dang, this is such a cool project and it's a shame this is happening to it. It's understandable that Valve wants to be nowhere near Nintendo's proprietary libraries though. I hope this isn't the end of the project full stop.

If Nintendo had a problem they could do the dmca. Valve doesn't need to enforce Nintendo's copyright for them

I don't know if valve told him to stop the project or just advised him to stop. There are replacement libraries available if he really wanted to continue, or he could make the project require you to have a copy of the library to build

Yeah this one is too bad. The guy was doing it basically just to see if it could be done. And he succeeded with flying colors. His videos are really interesting, even if you don't know how to code.
