False equivalency there. Watching a video of someone driving a car and actually driving a car are not the same. Likewise with watching/playing a video game. Watching a video on Netflix and watching a video on Youtube are functionally the same.

It is more similar to covering a famous song. 

That case is extremely settled. Video games are not - a court could easily come down on - videos are original works and fair use for commentary reasons (Nintendo has no claim) OR substantial reproduction of content (Nintendo has full claim).
