Nintendo DEFINITELY has good lawyers.

Well, I don't think Nintendo has rewritten any laws, so not yet.

Actually, in Japan Nintendo (and other software companies) have had a
lot of influence on its copyright and patent laws (which are
significantly different from that of the West).  A lot of Nintendo's
(and Capcom's, and Konami, and the rest) seemingly overbearing
behavior when it comes fighting its fans about tribute games, and
streaming, and mods is a result of that difference. The copyright
holder has a lot more power of what can be done with their IP in
Japan, and things like fair use are much more restricted. And
Nintendo, Sony, and the rest have pressured politicians to keep it
that way, or change it to their advantage.
