Don't! Nintendo has a history of using legal actions to shut down fan projects. When they come after you, it will be a civil lawsuit, not a criminal one. That means you need to pay the expenses for your defense up-front. If you can't afford proper legal defense, you will very likely lose the lawsuit, even if you might actually be legally allowed to do it. Even if you are able and willing to pay for proper legal counsel, Nintendo will likely have far deeper pockets and be able to afford much better lawyers than you do. So this is a battle you are very unlikely to win. If you are lucky, they will just insist that you cease publication. When Nintendo's lawyers are in a particularly bad mood, they might get you to pay litigation.
