It's not really that simple. Yes, it's Nintendo's property, but they can do this sort of thing because Youtube allows them to. There isn't a clear precedence for this because it hasn't gone to court.

Out of fear of a lawsuit. Plenty of people in the music/video industry have already sued Youtube. Most of them didn't win, but if it were to be shown that Youtube had the ability to remove such videos, per request of the IP owner, and they chose not to they certainly would lose in court. There doesn't need to be a precedent for this. It is simple logic based on the law. 

Pretty sure none of them did.

That's not really relevant, though. You're saying that Youtube allows this to stay in step with the law, which is true. However, the question of fair use as pertaining to video games hasn't made it to court, so it's a gray area. A lot of the laws being cited don't pertain specifically to interactive media.
