Somebody explain to me why music, sports, movies, tv shows and information from behind a paywall don't allow this but games should because of "the free advertising"? Wouldn't all the other companies allow this if it was such a boon?

To be fair, video games are meant to be played, so watching a video of it doesn't entail consumption of the full product. It would be like watching movie, tv show, or sports game with no sound. Still, it is Nintendo's property and they have a right to determine how to use it. People are arguing that Nintendo benefits from this third party let's play use, and in some cases that might very well be true. 

It's not really that simple. Yes, it's Nintendo's property, but they can do this sort of thing because Youtube allows them to. There isn't a clear precedence for this because it hasn't gone to court.
