    Great work! I didn't even know it was still possible to publish new games for old consoles like the N64.

      It may be counterintuitive at first, but why wouldn't be possible? It's one of the perks of "offline" hardware without subscriptions or DRM. You build a piece of hardware (cartridge) that attaches to another one (console) and it works. As long as the console works, there shouldn't be a problem.

        Nintendo is notoriously litigious.
