there is a reason none of those are actual products.
actually selling them would probably only make the lawyer's job easier.

For putting people in jail/prison and also suing them for millions that they probably will never have, sure.

Just for DMCA it's not needed at all considering they can just strike anything that pops up in a search (and they likely do this via a mostly-hands-off script), I would not be surprised if they had striked games about celebrities that happen to have a common name that is the same as a character trademarked by N. If it was still a fan game N would probably get away with it no challenge unless said celebrity actually stepped in to defend it.
