You realize he runs a community and website on top of doing reviews, interviews, streaming, etc?  He doesn't just sit around doing nothing.  And he's a darn fine reviewer who is honest with his opinions and tells it how it is.  Don't just be a reactionist and jump on someone without knowing the facts.

And even if he were as you describe, that wouldn't change the fact that Nintendo us well known for their unreasonable practices on YouTube.  Even people who cover them regularly admit that they have to do a ton of finagling to make sure their content isn't flagged.  Nintendo isn't perfect.  YouTube is a glaring flaw for them.  Everyone knows it.

Reactionist. Is that what your doing to me? I know this guys Nintendo story. It sickens me.

There is no history.  I've followed him for years.  Just because he isn't a huge, super fan of all Nintendo products does *not* mean his pionts are invalid, nor does it mean that he doesn't enjoy the Wii U games he has played (he has said multiple times INCLUDING AFTER THIS on his Twitch that he really enjoys the Wii U and the games are quite fun; he literally said that the day after the rant).  His points are valid, Nintendo's practices are absolutely asinine.  The vid he put up was well within the bounds of fair use, being a highly edited down playthrough of only part of the game (not a single full session was shown as a matter of fact) with the focus on the commentary and his interactions with the rest of the people playing.  That's essentially textbook fair use.  And by the way, Nintendo knows that it is.  That's why they use the content claim system to syphon revenue rather than issue a DMCA notice.  DMCA is a preemptive to legal action, the YouTube claim system is just an easily abusable way to syphon revenue without having to actually needing to have the balls to go to court.
