No smiley required. In case you need clarification, yes that was a joke.

Update: Nintendo issued Game Front the following statement:

As part of our on-going push to ensure Nintendo content is shared across social media channels in an appropriate and safe way, we became a YouTube partner and as such in February 2013 we registered our copyright content in the YouTube database. For most fan videos this will not result in any changes, however, for those videos featuring Nintendo-owned content, such as images or audio of a certain length, adverts will now appear at the beginning, next to or at the end of the clips. We continually want our fans to enjoy sharing Nintendo content on YouTube, and that is why, unlike other entertainment companies, we have chosen not to block people using our intellectual property.

^ Sounds fair to me as long as the content doesnt get blocked or the channel gets suspended via YouTube's copyright bots.

But expect Major LPers to rage LOOOOL

To me, it sounds reasonable.  



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?



I don't see a problem with this. It is Nintendo's property and its not like they're removing the videos, they're just profiting from them.
