I wonder what keeps projects like Smash Crusade alive.
Fanfics are also prone to legal actions. No one does it tho because it's not worth the trouble.
Any utilization of an IP without payment of royalties is legally prohibited, but devs will only threaten projects that can be really detrimental for their sales.
Fanarts and Fanfics aren't a threat for game sales, but we're talking about a remake of an existing game. Of course it will be a problem.
