Hmm it looks like its mainly the music that got copyrighted but yea, Nintendo hates it when you but their music on YouTube and as much as I dont like it, it is their music afterall. I believe if you put music from other artists like Eminem, you will receive one too |
That's not true. Over 99% of music artists who make copyright claims on YouTube don't strike the video or take it down. They simple claim the song and all ad revenue from that video goes to them. It's easy money nintendo is losing out on plus the free advertising. They hurt themselves so much with this backward policy.

Well, I am pretty sure Nintendo is doing the samething... Cause if you look at 1:11, it says "your video is avaliable and playable" which leads me to believe that all that Nintendo (or rather the bots) did was just getting all the ad revenue and not actually shutting down the video
Oh and I also don't really believe in the notion of "this is free advertising" cause imo, I highly doubt the sales of a game can increase due to "Lets Plays" to a significant margin (unless they are very cheap or free to play) so neh

The reality is these youtubers do it as a career. If they can't monetize a video then they dont have a career. If someone uploads a song to youtube fair enough, but all the big publishers are smart enough to allow it bar capon. Call of duty and gta thrive off the free exposure. EA paid lots of big cod youtubers to come play bf4 and upload early gameplay to their channels. Nintendo are stuck in the 90's. If they were smart they would be paying big money for people like pewdiepie to play their best games. His the last of us walkthrough did wonders for that game. He made games like flappy bird and slender man massive hits. He's just one big example. Nintendo are becoming super irrelevant with all the young gamers who watch loads of youtube.

Yet Nintendo sent Miyamoto himself to famous youtube channels like Ijustine and Smosh games to play games like Mario Kart 8. That's a lot better than some stupid let's play. You don't deserve money for just playing a game.
