Can someone give me a brief summary of Nintendo's YouTube policy/Joe's frustration with it?

Everything I know:

When Nintendo announced his new Youtube policy for people monetizing on Let's Play video's on Nintendo content and the restrictions which come with it a lot of Youtuber's like PewDiePie and so on who do mostly Let's Play videos went against it. Angry Joe was one of them. Some time later when fans demanded of Joe doing videos about Nintendo games, they've contributed money for Joe to get a Wii U with some games.

Joe did 2 streams of him and his friends playing Mario Party 10 and Mario Kart 8 on twitch. He uploaded these videos on Youtube clearly knowing Nintendo's Youtube Policies and tried to monetize on this poorly made (No edited) videos. When Nintendo took all the money being made with these 2 videos, Joe took both videos down, because he can't make money with it. A few hours later his Final Nintendo Rant video went online and told Nintendo how greedy Nintendo is.

The Nintendo Youtube Policy is one thing, but Angry Joe dealt with it like a little, whiny, greedy, bitch himself.  

He thinks he is entitled to make money on content he doesn't own.

Thanks!

Two questions:

1) can YouTubers use any footage of Nintendo games without consulting Nintendo? Like a trailer or a brief 30-second spot?

2) can someone do a let's play in partnership with Nintendo? Like they split the proceeds?
