Now, the question is whether Nintendo is justified in pursuing an account that uses emulation of its older systems and games. As Russ pointed out, the Wii U eShop is closed, and the company has no way to earn money from those games anymore. Additionally, he uses his videos for educational purposes.

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".

The relationship between Nintendo and the fans has always been a bit difficult. Recently, the largest Switch emulator was banned on Nintendo's instructions, and now, a content creator has received a copyright strike for merely showing their fans a Switch emulator.

A YouTube channel has been hit by Nintendo after showing its games running on emulators, as the company continues to crack down on piracy.

YouTuber Retro Game Corps has claimed he's being "specifically targeted" by Nintendo for showing off emulated game footage in retro console reviews.
