I imagine they're mostly going to target videos and channels that review those devices that you buy pre-loaded with 1TB of ROMs or whatever. Videos about and highlighting products that are blatantly infringing on like a billion copyrights.
If you make money from emulation, you'll get fucked (and honestly I'm kind of ok with that). However, it is a bit extreme to copyright claim videos that are just talking about said products.
With all that's said, I would think people doing video essays and shit will be fine. Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows.
