At this point no one can act surprised when they receive a cease and desist. I wish creators like this would spend their time making their own games instead of piggybacking on established IP, but they continue to do it because it garners headlines like this. In other words, they're trading on Nintendo IP for promotional reasons. If they swapped the player character and the level design, far fewer people would hear about it.

I don't think it's trying to cash in on sm64's popularity, it seems more like it's their favourite game and they want to do something cool with it. It's a port/demake, it's not like they're trying to make a new game.
