I don't think this is a correct characterization.

Another content creator is getting takedown requests for vanilla gameplay [0]. PointCrow also mentions takedown requests for other videos that have nothing to do with the modded multiplayer video. Nintendo has terms for this type of content, allowing usage that they're now issuing takedown requests for [1].

Maybe the bounty for the mod, or maybe it's just mods in general, that got Nintendo's attention but they're trampling over the creators other work, which looks like a bullying tactic.

It would be nice for nintendo to actually come out and SAY what they have a problem with instead of this kabuki theater of trying to find commonalities between a bunch of takedowns. However they aren't answering pointcrows emails to their legal department.
