Yeah you did, although sarcastically.  "Yes, let's follow this line of though and prohibit Nintendo fans on here making arguments for Nintendo."

Sure it does.  It filters out all the low level partners.  The guys that can't follow direction from a business like Nintendo.  We've all heard the how strict they are with their employees.  A person can't even be on a podcast without nintendo going all crazy about what they said.  To keep that tight leash with people, it takes real dedication.  Like i said, they don't want people selling their games for them, they have thier own marketing.

Pardon me but it is not the job of any pundit, reviewer, or impressions giver to follow a corporation's instructions when doing their job, YouTube or otherwise.  And on top of that, I would say 95% of what Nintendo does isn't within their rights, it's a major overstepping.  Because they use content ID, which is a bs system that literally just takes money with no legal obligation by Nintendo to prove their claim of copyrighg infringement and no recourse whatsoever for the party harmed.  It's bull, it was always bull, and it will always be bull.  If Nintendo wants to be a prick with its copyrights, it should have to use the legal channels as intended and incur some risk.  

And as I pointed out earlier, this only filters out positivity since major negative videos WILL happen.  And it means some of the biggest reviewers and pundits don't bring them up.  And it pisses off the fanbases of those who are shafted by this.  It has done them no good whatsoever.

Reviewers may still review to the honesty of their own merits.  That's never an issue.  Sure their video gets taken down, but again, they should already know no to cover Nintendo.  As for overstepping, don't cry over something someone has over you.  It's their right to do so and it is your right whatever actions you see fit for yourself.  Don't see why Nintendo has to be responsible for the outcry of people who can't cover their stuff.

Positive or not is never the issue.  It was about control.  They prefer control.  That was always their motive behind youtube.  What I see is a path and opportunity for Nintendo and Youtubers.  They prefer the ones that play ball.  Don't play ball, don't get in bed with Nintendo.  Simple as that.  The outcry for their product to use as a subject is in Nintendo's advantage just like any IP Nintendo owns and does not permit to be used by others.  Making a Nintendo video and expecting some sort of compensation(or even the feel good feeling of creating content just for the sake of content) is not Nintendo's problem.  If you were to make a Mario costume and make profit from their brand, Nintendo is surely within their right to shut you down.  And no, it doen't suck.  It kicks ass for Nintendo.  Not for you or I, but it is a good Nintendo sees for themselves.  If they change that policy, well rainbows and sugar, but at the moment, not happening. That's all.
