So… Almost every single video pre switch besides speed running videos? Where the fuck else are they supposed to play them? By the time “let’s plays” we’re popular on YouTube we were in the time of the Wii or even passed it. And even if they didn’t emulate, they’d have to have bought the console off eBay where Nintendo makes zero money from the discontinued consoles. This is literally just control for the sake of control and it’s why I hate Nintendo.
Then there’s all of the speedrunning videos that were performed on emulators. Including on Nintendo developed emulators. How can Nintendo tell if you’re using NSO or VC instead of BSnes or Mupen64?
I imagine they’re mostly going to target videos and channels that review those devices that you buy pre-loaded with 1TB of ROMs or whatever. Videos about and highlighting products that are blatantly infringing on like a billion copyrights.
If you make money from emulation, you’ll get fucked (and honestly I’m kind of ok with that). However, it is a bit extreme to copyright claim videos that are just talking about said products.
With all that’s said, I would think people doing video essays and shit will be fine. Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows.
