TL;DR

Valve requested the takedown of "Portal 64," a fan-made Nintendo 64 demake of the classic game "Portal," due to concerns over its use of Nintendo's proprietary libraries. The project's creator, James Lambert, complied with Valve's request, citing communication with the company. This incident reflects Nintendo's history of protecting its intellectual property, even in cases where it has not taken direct legal action.
