This isn't a new thing. I'm sure Nintendo recognized when approving the software (Petit Computer) that attributes of their games would be recreated by users. Besides, it's up to the IP holder in these cases, not always Nintendo. On that note, Capcom is generally quite lax about copyright laws, and Megaman 2 PTC does not significantally harm their sales nor claim that a party other than Capcom owns the rights to the resources used. If they wanted to shut it down they likely would have sent a C&D around when it became a proper clone, not this long after. Of course, that's not saying that Capcom can't or won't, but it just isn't something to run around like decapitated chickens at this point.
