Fair use doesn't  mean anything to nintendo. Their Nintendo youtube  program is a testament to that.

There is currently no legislation on whether Lets Plays fall under Fair Use and as such, Nintendo is not doing anything illegal. There have been zero links provided to instances in which Nintendo submitted a copyright claim against a news/review video despite my multiple requests. Youtube's flawed Content ID system (which is distinct from copyright claims) is the cause of false removal of certain videos, but that is more or less out of Nintendo's hands unless they choose to give free reign.

This policy is not a violation of fair use under the current precedent.
