Like do they need Nintendo's approval to do this, or it's at the point where pretty much anyone can put out a game on a defunct system as long as they have the means of manufacturing it? |
Well this is frustrating. I know, based on lawsuits between Atari and Activision, that it's perfectly legal. Unfortunately, I can't find any primary sources on those lawsuits, so I can't explain why it's legal.
