Wait, their properties are A-OK for fan usage? Are you talking about the creative endorsement program? If so, that doesn't extend to ripping models from their games...it's actually something very specific.
Nevertheless, I think it's great that there are people out there talented and dedicated enough to spend their time ripping models like this. It's just I don't know if it's a good idea to rip these models so soon...

According to this article from NintendoLife, participating in the "Creative Endorsement Program" means that Nintendo has created a list of 250 games that you can do a Let's Play of on NicoNico video without any legal issues. Nothing at all has been said about fan games, and ROM Hacks are still considered very illegal due to the involvement of emulation.
With that being said, I can't wait to see if Nintendo will expand their policies to include fan games! This would be nothing short of blessing for projects like Mother 4.
