Nintendo issues copyright strike to YouTube channel specialising in emulation


Nintendo has issued a copyright strike against a YouTube channel that reviews emulation handhelds.

The channel in question, Retro Game Corps, describes itself as offering "in-depth reviews and showcases" as well as "emulation setup guides". Russ is now considering filing a counterclaim as he believes the video "was for educational use, transformative in nature, and had no effect on the market". "However, I am reluctant to open that can of worms with a multi-billion dollar corporation, as their next step would be to file legal action."
