What risk would they be so afraid of? 

Nintendo has always been overbearing and its historically known. As I said, this is why they have issues with third party and have a vice grip over their formats. They are only open minded if they in their mind feel things favor them. They don't care about what time they are in and they've never been considered the "cool" brand over the likes of Sega, Microsoft or even Sony because of that.

Despite their light hearted image on the outside, on the inside they are actually much colder to outside opinion than most.

For starters: IP damage. Nintendo's biggest resources are their IP's. If somebody poorly distributes the content of their IP's it can damage the monetary value of said IP as it would act as a subsitute rather than a complement in some (but not all) cases, pushing down the demand curve on a supply/demand graph. Nintendo's role on youtube is to have all let's plays act as complementary or suplementary goods, not subsitute goods.

Nintendo's not in the business to look "cool" they're in the business to sell video games. They do it well enough that they were more profitable than "cool" companies like Sega and Microsoft. It is only when they give power to other (3rd party) companies (like EA) that they start to become unprofitable (which is evidenced by the Wii U.)

 

So you're essentially saying all other brands of neglectful of their IP's by not interfering in Youtube content creators output?
