This was teased last night, so I'm glad to see the video go live. Plus Anthony is a great host (especially with his retro, emulation, & Linux videos).

I wonder if Linus has the clout and contacts at YouTube to claim fair use. Watching and yeah Anthony is great at retro stuff.

Very cool to see. Nintendo has been DMCA'ing videos of Switch emulation on Steam Deck specifically so it's awesome to have LTT show how to legit do it legally and force the issue.

Very dumb that they felt they had to censor the gameplay footage when there's literally been a lawsuit precedent saying that using screenshots to advertise improved emulator screenshots is fair use. Someone honestly needs to take one of these overzealous publishers to court and win at least once to make an example of them.

Maybe LTT will be that someone if this video gets taken down. I can't think of mmany other people who would have enough time, money, and inclination to fight this in court. They've certainly made the video as unimpeachable as possible too.

Good. Fuck Nintendo for picking on channels like The Phawx who is awesome.

Let's see what they try to do when it's LTT.

Great video, an Anthony-tier one for sure. Nintendo will be very happy I bet, but fuck 'em.

Nintendo ninjas are closing in as we speak.


Seriously though, this really makes me hope there will be a Deck 2. Improve average battery life, make the fan a bit quieter (is that a word?) and improve the screen. That'll make me hop in.

The end of the video makes it crystal clear, this is LTT picking a fight. Will to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Guessing when you have close to 15 million subscribers and the view count YouTube might actually listen back on the fair use thing, if anything I guess if you pushed they don't really do that in Japan so ban it on that basis from Japan only and I bet Linus has a decent contact at YouTube.

You're in luck, because by the time they get to setting up emulators on Steam Deck, they either forgot to or intentionally stop blurring out cover art and Nintendo logos. Oops!

They want Nintendo to try. Will be interesting to see how things shake out. Does Nintendo really want that smoke?
