That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says (www.pcgamer.com)

Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

While the ultimate issue is Nintendo's IP, obviously you can't remove Nintendo's IP in this case since it's for the N64, so the only other option is to remove valves. I understand why valve doesn't want to implicitly endorse an N64 game with their IP by saying nothing, but if they remove valves IP then all that's left is a generic N64 hobby project which Nintendo wouldn't bother acknowledging.
