Vibecoding has opened the door to all sorts of recomps and mods that would've taken years to make before. Sure, they're often buggy and borderline unplayable, and programmers tend to abandon them after the novelty wears off - not to mention the ethical and environmental implications of using AI - but one of the side effects to this sudden Claude boom is an influx of games being made playable in a browser. And for whatever reason, vibecoders have decided to place themselves squarely in the crosshair of Nintendo, which isn't exactly known for its trigger discipline.
