Legit impressed it lasted that long without a Nintendo C&D.
Apart from perhaps the mouse cursors, what could Nintendo possibly claim?
It's Atari's arcade font from 1978 paired with some generic low-res graphics.
You cannot C&D art style. They're not using copyrighted assets or names. "NES" isn't trademarked either and the project claims no affiliation to Nintendo.
"NES" is trademarked. And they are using copyrighted assets, from Mario and Pokemon.
"NES" is not trademarked, outside of "oils and essential oils". http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:hhi...
You're thinking of Nintendo Entertainment System. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:hhi...
Happy to be proven wrong if you can find the matching one.
As for the copyrighted assets… where? In the demo? Those aren't in the code FWICS. (Edit: and as tptacek says, they're not original assets either, which makes this a similar scenario as having a github logo in an icon font)
Heh, apparently Nintendo did have NES, but it was cancelled in 2016:

Interesting! I only looked at live trademarks, explains how I missed that.
And I still don't know why the hell people are downvoting this whole thread without providing any actual retort…
Copyrighted or trademarked? If they drew the Mario or the Pokemon (or got it from someone else who drew it and published it with a liberal license) it's not a copyvio.
"copyvio" A violation of copyright laws: copyright infringement.
Was a new word for me, from Wiktionary
It is terribad.
>You cannot C&D art style.
Sure about that?

Yes quite sure. Design and art style are not the same thing. That is why your website using material design is safe, but you just might be c&d'd if your interface exactly replicates gmail 1:1.
Cool. These are always fun. I'd love to see a list of the more unique CSS frameworks like this. For example, I also like BOOTSTRA.386:
It would be great to see screenshots / example files in the repo.
Home page with working examples linked to in the repo: https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/ (looks great!)
That is awesome! Thanks for posting!
Totally going to use this on the PhaserJS project I'm doing for work!
Wow looks great. I'll be using it in my projects.
Someone should make a twitter clone in this NES style. Might be more peaceful and fun to read. Good exercise for a CS student just starting out.
