He's kind of right. It is just a tax. That said, Nintendo has every right to do it. It's their content, yadda yadda. Also, he is seriously overestimating the influence of Youtube. 99% of gamers just watch big publications like IGN and Gamespot. Those guys will always cover Nintendo.

No, if someone does a review there is an allowance for 'fair use'. Nintendo has no right to tax that. Likewise a small gameplay clip like a MK race or SSB match is fair use for commentary purpose.
Letsplays and such I think should be banned to be honest, by every company. Not covered by fair use. Uploading a whole game for people to watch just isn't right, especially not when stories and such play such a major role in many games now. Commentary does not change this, try uploading the last spiderman ovie with commentary over it and see how that goes.

This doesn't apply to reviews. It's let's plays and commentary. This was never about game reviews. If they had no right, then they wouldn't be getting away with it now. It's their content. "Fari use" only get's you so far.
