If you are a YouTube user and you wanted to feature Nintendo content, the good news is you have a way to do it without getting flagged. The bad news is there are a lot of hoops to jump through and the end result may not be as good as you’d hoped. Several clarifications just surfaced which make this a less profitable and more complicated venture than it was when it was first announced. Here are some of the new details.

1) Nintendo will only share revenue with certain games. This list includes most of Nintendo’s backlog of games, however, the list does not include the latest games including Super Smash Bros, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker and Bayonetta 2.

2) If your channel gets approved as a Nintendo channel, you are not allowed to post content for any other platform, if you do you will have to delete the video within two weeks or have your registration revoked. You will then have to re-register your channel through the Nintendo service.

These new rules are quite harsh and really restrict YouTubers from being creative with the games. How do you feel about the topic? Let us know below!

    Can’t market the new stuff? Must mean Nintendo has a good marketing department then? Ummm nope. They are so backwards sometimes. This is a case of “don’t show our old stuff unless we get paid and don’t show our new stuff in case it’s rubbish and we don’t!”

      Couldn’t agree more. You should want the boost in the beginning to get as many people to buy it at full price as possible. If you wait to push marketing you are only going to make pennies on the dollar. It is an unfortunate strategy.
