Still it's at least slightly better in one regard: Nintendo is also the collective name for several game platforms. Squaresoft is not such a platform; it's known only as a company. In fact the way you're using their name makes it look like the game is theirs. It'd be easy for this to be called misrepresentation and you'd be putting a big neon "Sue me!" sign on your head. It's worse than just the Final Fantasy fan games, by several orders of magnitude. Think I'm exaggerating? Consider if you made a game called "Microsoft Volleyball". Dude, they'll kill you. This is too far over the limit to even have it approved for the fan games section. You'd do much better to simply change your game to regular winter sports, and drop any mention of Squaresoft.
