I really don't know why people announce these things. They have to know by now that Nintendo will squash anything and everything that uses their IP and/or assets. It's like taking your first Tae Kwon Do lesson and celebrating by telling all your bullies.
They're all delusional that they'll be the exception.
The only way that a project like this can succeed is by Stealth dropping it once complete, like the Mario 64 pc port.
I always wonder if maybe the devs are wanting an out from finishing the project but still want the cred for working on it. So they make the announcement fully knowing Nintendo will come down on them which will then alleviate them from having to complete the project.
