Nintendo's lawyers have reach beyond github. They only need to chat with your hosting company or nameserver.

There are hosts and nameservers located in countries that don't give a fuck about companies like Nintendo.

In fact, the recent backlash about everything being hosted in the US has started to make this even easier as companies in other countries are stepping in to grab market share as companies look to flee US hosting.
