Do "Let's Play" channels on YouTube have to pay Nintendo a fee or something in order to post their play throughs online? Cause I see popular ones like GameGrumps doing a series on Mario Maker and LOZ A Link Between Worlds right now for example, whereas other popular YouTubers like Angry Joe have complained about Nintendo pulling videos that feature Nintendo games or products.

Not a fee, but a percentage of their ad revenure.

It's still a fee.

Some YouTubers have direct contacts with/within NoA or Treehouse and are either on a white list in and of themselves or their MCN has them on deals with Nintendo, and they can produce whatever they want so long as it isn't obviously illegal/racist/derogatory, etc. (See: any youtube personality that gets free stuff from Nintendo for review or unboxing purposes.)

Others either use the Creator's Program, or know how to cheat the system.

No, a fee would be a fixed amount that you get at the end of something.

WOW.... They deserve every bad sales they are getting with the Wii U. This is shocking.

Yeah, like how Atlus deserves bad sales because they copyright every Persona 5 trailer not on their channel!


I don't disagree there :P

Really? You want Persona 5 to sell badly because they copyright trailers?

Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll. - Shigeru Miyamoto.

I'm confused on how speedrunning is making classic games popular again? I think it is a pretty far fetched argument to say Nintendo is somehow benefiting from this.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Isn't the percent fixed. Or does it change? And you have to pay Nintendo each month. The only difference is this is deducted automatically.
