GilvaSunner has had another 2,200 take downs from Nintendo and after 11 years is deleting YouTube channel

GilvaSunner, the go to YouTuber to listen to high quality classic Nintendo video game soundtracks (which aren’t monetised) said on Twitter yesterday that Nintendo has pulled another 2,200 videos from his soundtrack-based YouTube channel. He is now looking to delete his YouTube channel on Friday which he has happily ran for 11 years. His thoughts are that it isn’t worth uploading the soundtracks for the fans just for them to be taken down. GilvaSunner made the news on a range of gaming sites on Sunday as he revealed that Nintendo took down 1,300 of his uploads. Nintendo’s classic soundtracks are not available on popular music streaming platforms such Spotify and Apple Music.

Hi everyone, after the 1300 copyright blocks from Nintendo a few days ago, the YT channel received another 2200 blocks today (with likely many more to follow).

I want to thank you for the 11+ years of support (or more if you followed me before this account) and the many nice messages you shared with me. It’s been truly amazing to see the VGM scene grow so much! Please keep supporting the composers and community!
