Re: Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated

Beauville

So what this article completely and totally fails to mention is that his first strike was from a video just before this covering the MiG Switch cartridge copier - a device that lets you dump your switch games and play back up roms on real switch hardware.

Of course Nintendo isn't going to look kindly on someone telling 300k subscribers how to pirate games for their current console. They struck him and he immediately came back the next video to show how to run a Wii U emulator. Obviously he was still under their eye so they struck him again, which is petty, but he's poking the bear.

He's had this channel for years now doing the emulation thing, and they've completely left him alone. Where he screwed up was showing his audience how to literally pirate content step by step for a current console.

Shame on you guys for not providing the full details and misleading your audience. Please do better next time to provide the full picture. I love Retro Game Corps and find Youtube's copyright strike system to be totally busted and unfair to creators, and while Nintendo has no legs to stand on when it comes to most of these petty claims when it falls under fair use, this situation is not as vile as you're making it out to be.
