Nintendo Reversing it's Lets Play Copyright Claim Policy?
After many of these popular Youtuber's stated that they will no longer be doing these Lets Plays because there was no monetary incentive, Nintendo realized that the value of these streams as advertising tools, as some are reporting the return of their revenue stream.
According to Reggie Fils-Aime at E3, the move was done to protect Nintendo’s IP and not against any one YouTube personality.
“The fans need to understand that we see the issue, we understand the issue, but, right now, all we’ve done is take the first step to protect our IP.”
Nintendo filed claims on YouTube to claim the content as its own in order to hold up to copyright and trademark laws, but they seem to acknowledge that providing thse players with a financial incentive to continue playing their games and bringing them to the public eye is better than not having those games on YouTube at all.

Katsumi If a large company makes a decision i would think they will stick to it. Very disappointing Nintendo
I'm sure people were complaining about it and they didn't want to deal with it.

slapshot101 I hope they do end up reversing this policy, it would be great for the You Tubers who do Nintendo videos and would encourage them to make more and better videos. Just imagine if a company like Sony or Microsoft did this.
If Sony or Microsoft advertised on people's videos? Most of the gaming videos on YouTube would be full of advertisements by them seeing as it's mostly Xbox, PlayStation and PC that is posted for gaming videos.

KurumuArtroFrog It's unbelievable that they did that. Just shows how greedy big companies are.
Nintendo really will take what ever they can get, they are loosing a lot or money and need to earn it back some how
Where have you seen that they are loosing money?
I mean yes Nintendo is greedy, the Wii U is a god awful console, and there are a lot of stupid things that Nintendo does, but I have yet to read anywhere that their loosing money.
They are losing money from the Wii U. They threw the console on the shelves and hoped for the best with it, just like they did with the Wii only this time it's not going like how it did before.
