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.

SwagDaddyYoloShadowBoltDashie I heard about this but I didn't know they actually implemented it at all.
I didn't know either lol I'm not "caught up" on youtube or nintendo
I heard about it on Machinima(I hardly watch Machinima but this caught my eye) and they mentioned it but I didn't know they went through with it at all. Plus I don't watch many gameplays let alone Nintendo gamplayes.

This was highly expected i'm still not sure why they did this in the first place Nintendo is usually all nice and what not.

This is good that they changed this. They will get more sales because of the YouTubers, and the YouTubers will still get paid.

I heard about this a while ago, and by doing this it stopped people from playing games that could have got them noticed more and bought.
