Nintendo picks and chooses who they sue using their copyrighted images. It's bullshit.
A tech YouTuber got a strike for using a intro screen to a Nintendo game. He did this before. The difference was he was talking about the Mig Switch.
Makes me wonder if they will ever go nuts and just copyright strike every Youtuber that helped them advertise their games for free for decades.
They pretty much tried that for a while, with their whole 'Nintendo YouTube Creators Program' bullshit.
There's a massive difference between suing and striking. Suing someone means you're intending to take them to court. A copyright strike is different. I forget if copyright strike implies DMCA or content ID. DMCA possibly involves lawyers (honestly can't remember) but it removes the content from the site and that's it (you only go to court if you disagree and they push back). Content ID is an automated process that either removes sounds, portions of videos, or takes a portion of ad revenue.
