Nintendo's frosty relationship with YouTube creators first came to a head in 2013, when prolific Let's Play video maker Zack Scott complained that Nintendo was taking down videos of Nintendo games matched by Google's automated ContentID system. Creators are also prohibited from publishing "any content that infringes, dilutes, or otherwise harms the Content or the Nintendo brand and image," a clause that Nintendo could use to limit critical videos. On Nintendo's end, the company claims the right to freely use participating videos to market its products and services.

Nintendo was not immediately available to comment on this limitation.Ĭreators participating in the program must also publish a spoken or written disclosure that they have license to use Nintendo's video content and that the content isn't sponsored by Nintendo. Presumably, unlisted games will continue to have their ad revenue captured by Nintendo, as the company has done in the past, according to YouTube rules. The list of Nintendo-published games ineligible for the program includes recent Wii U titles like Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker and Bayonetta, classics like Star Fox 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and every game in the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo's list of supported games leaves out a wide range of the company's publishing catalog, seemingly including every game even partially developed by an outside studio. Program registrants are warned to "be sure videos do not contain copyrighted material from third parties or content from unconfirmed game titles. The Creators Program User Guide notes that only videos including a limited list of "whitelisted" games can be registered for revenue sharing. The revenue sharing only seems to apply to a small portion of Nintendo's game catalog, however.
That's a change from the zero percent of ad revenue many video makers saw from videos that included Nintendo games in the past, though Nintendo does note ominously that "this rate may be changed arbitrarily." In exchange, Nintendo will let the video creator keep a portion of the ad revenue generated by the video: 60 percent for individual videos or 70 percent for entire channels. YouTube creators who sign up for Nintendo's Creators Program can easily register individual videos or entire channels that contain content from games made by Nintendo. But the program comes with a number of restrictions that limit how video creators can use Nintendo games in their videos and how they can profit from those videos.
