Nintendo Targets YouTubers for Showcasing Emulated Games

Nintendo's recent actions against YouTubers displaying emulated games have raised eyebrows in the gaming community. Retro Games Corp, a popular channel, revealed he received two copyright strikes from Nintendo, hinting at a broader trend of content control by the company.

Ongoing Issues with Emulated Content

Nintendo's stringent policies on content sharing are not new. Reports indicate the company has forced prominent channels to remove Nintendo-related content, including a popular emulator's closure.

Specific Targeting of YouTubers

  • In March 2024, Nintendo took issue with content from a Call of Duty YouTuber, resulting in a copyright strike.
  • The company has particularly focused on accounts showcasing multiplayer mods of popular games.
  • Most recently, Russ from Retro Games Corp has become a victim, expressing concerns over how to adjust his channel moving forward.

With over 550,000 followers, Russ's experience reflects a concerning trend, raising questions about the future of gaming content on platforms like YouTube. This issue not only impacts content creators but also poses significant questions about the limits of copyright law in the gaming industry.
