NoA -> Nintendo of America
;2023 - Yuzu (Switch) / various Youtube channels vs. Nintendo
:'''Action:''' Copyright take-down notices against videos promoting emulation of the Nintendo Switch for the following cases: Kotaku (game journalists) encouraging people to pirate leaked copies of Metroid Dread and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom after Nintendo denied them review copies (NoA Nintendo of America took down the very video used in the article), Multiplayer mod for Zelda Breath of the Wild promoted on the Youtube channel of the mod author, and others.
:'''Reason:''' Generic copyrighted audiovisual content DMCA justification (Game footage)
:'''Outcome:''' No further retaliation from Nintendo against either Yuzu or the YouTube channels. Zelda Multiplayer mod shut down the project pre-emptively to avoid further trouble.
