I think its place in Nintendo directs would have had more influence on the existing Nintendo fanbase than lets plays.


Directs don't get the views that Chugga's let's play got.

Technically you can have other games/videos up on your channel and as sundin13 pointed out, you can register individual videos in the program instead of submitting your whole channel.

 

But back on topic, maybe for Xenoblade 3D but Xenoblade Chroniclees X will likely get the push from people's impressions of the game more then how the original played.

...Which get's you less money, which discourages you from making the let's play on a non-Nintendo channel. People that do lets plays of their games can't do any non-Nintendo games if they want to be paid in full.

Let me be honest here, Chugga's LPs is one of the reasons I bought SPM and now I'm interested in X for the same reason and I'm hopefully gonna get xeno3d due to watching chugga play to see if I'll like it or not. Either way Let's plays do improve sales ever so slightly.

Moving the goalposts

You can still play non-Nintendo games on your channel if you want, you will just get slightly less revenue off of the videos

Yeah but then Nintendo take more money, I think its 70/30 on a whole channel and 60/40 for individual videos

The January one is at 778k. Not too far off, although I thought they would be more viewed than that.


Right, but there's only a handful of directs with a minute or so of Xenoblade stuff vs 100 videos of half an hour each of only Xenoblade stuff. Most of which have at least 100K views, and most of which are being watched exclusively by people who never played the game. Might not be good for XBC sales, but it's amazing for XBX sales.

Maybe. I think Chugga's LP of the original has stirred up interest for the game online, and that could very well be the case for XC3D and XCX. We'll have to see.

Really? That's pretty cool, never noticed much of an impact before. Nice to have someone that has actually been influenced by them commenting though

 

Let's Plays are essentially what pushed me to get a Wii U and 3DS, tbh.
