Nintendo has never publicly released the tools required to build games for the N64. The tools that he used during development (specifically the libUltra library that helps programmers talk to the N64 hardware) therefore are not legally his to use, nor does he have legal rights to distribute software built using it.
As such, Valve is stepping up and asking the project to halt because if Nintdo wanted, they could cause legal troubles for the developer and/or Valve. Since the Portal name and assets are in use, Nintendo could go after Valve as well for seemingly “supporting” unauthorized use of their proprietary tools.
It’s definitely something I can see Nintendo doing. I hate that company so much but I hate that I love a lot of their games. Until they get their stuck out of their ass though I’m going to continue to pirate all their games and help hack all my friends consoles so they get them for free as well
When TOTK released, THE place for performance mods was r/newyuzupiracy. The sub got nuked cause piracy, but now its under r/128bitbay. Check it out for mods and tips on performance settings.

Hunt Down The Freeman was released with Valve’s full support.
There wasn’t a video game themed Japanese law firm with skin in the game; all technology and intellectual property used in Hunt Down The Freeman was Valve’s. Same with Black Mesa.

Wii was the last console I got of there’s. I’ll only ever use emulated ROMs from now on. I’m happy to wait for emulators.
Everybody keeps saying they can get TotK working on Steam deck. I get a solid 19fps.
I wish it would work though.

Thank you so much.
I get locked 30 on mine with some rare dips. As usual though it’ll get better as the emulators get updates. Still haven’t even finished BotW.
I went ahead and finished BotW so I could play TotK on the deck. Didn’t work haha.
I hope it gets better. I’m gonna buy the game eventually anyway.

That wasn’t released on Nintendo hardware using Nintendo proprietary development tools.
Is Hunt Down The Freeman available for Nintendo consoles?
