Yes, Nintendo owns the content, but it's a free way of advertising in my eyes. A lot of people who do LPs of games aren't going to be making LPs of those games, and some might even stop buying Nintendo games altogether. What's next for Nintendo, going after people on Twitch or Ustream?

Nintendo isn't removing their content or telling them they can't upload these videos.  They are just putting their ads on them.

They are also causing them to have no monetization on the videos. That is a major problem for many youtubers who do need the money to help stay afloat. some youtubers have youtube as their only job. The long term problem is that these LPers will just refuse to play Nintendo games on their channel. 

So far, the games that have been content IDed include New Super Mario Bros. 2, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda Windwaker and mario Kart 7. All these titles have released in the last couple years or are soon to and are prominent titles.
