Nintendo is quite literally being a big bully, because as I said just because they can do it doesn't make it right. Commentators who make money are part of networks making videos under the Fair Use policy, just like every single other person who makes gaming videos.
If making videos of video games was against the TOS, gaming videos would not exist.
As I said to Rap, I don't want to argue. This has become the epitome of immature internet arguments. Bye.
@Rapadash6 The TOS clearly says you need permission, networks give you permission. If what you saying is true, gaming videos wouldn't exist. And apparently somebody who wants to have fun uploading nintendo games is "making a quick buck"?
I'm tired of arguing, this has nothing to do with the topic, and I won't be replying to whatever witty reply you can conjur up.
@DESS-M-8 Look at it this way: YouTubers are entertainers, essentially comedians. So does make comedians immoral and illegal?
@rapadash6
YouTube networks, like Machinma, are how you monetize gaming videos. They get permission from the developers, and then grant them to your channel. You say unaltered footage- gaming videos have commentary almost all the time. And most developers, like Mojang, say that you can upload their content to YouTube. I've yet to see a video game that doesn't, besides Nintendo and a few small others.
Not to mention some people actually LIVE off of YouTube and do mostly Nintendo videos, like ZackScottGames and MCgamer (though I'll admit that MC mostly gets his views from Minecraft).
It is just a major d*** move. Nintendo isn't desperate enough to need money from people who actually commentate over their videos, and sometimes live. Already alot of YouTubers have boycotted Nintendo.
I'm sorry, but anyone who says they have every right is a fanboy who doesn't want to admit that they screwed up, big time. While they legally do have the right to do this, it is just a massive screw up and will give them bad press until they admit they were wrong and stop doing this.
Yes, I am a Nintendo fanboy myself and it was hard to say it, but Nintendo, you screwed up.
It's a bold move by Nintendo and I respect that. Everyone is telling them to drop the price but Nintendo holds their ground and is confident their games will boost the system.
It's true that you have to buy lots of games first, but this is still technically free. And let's not forget there's alot more stuff than just a yoshi cleaning cloth
I would defiantly get it if I already didn't have a 3DS now, because I had the DSi XL and loved it. But as I said, I already have a regular 3DS so no reason to buy it again.
9/10. I honestly think they did a great job. Made me even MORE excited for Wii U, and I am also looking forward to the new Scribblenauts for both Wii U and 3DS.
I'm actually pretty satisfied with the update. The eShop update is cool, and while it would be nice to customize folders more, I'm still happy with the folders.
This actually got a better score than I thought. If one of my friends get this, then I will. But first I have to get Sakura Samarai, Dillon's Rolling West, Mutants Mudds, and Zen Pinball. Yeah, I'm behind on the eShop.

Re: Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-Generated Gameplay Videos
until now, of course, for Nintendo videos.
Re: Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-Generated Gameplay Videos
@Rapadash6 if you are in a YouTube network, you have the rights to claim video game videos. Thats how youtube works.
Re: Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-Generated Gameplay Videos
More ranting:
It'd be great if someone could give one good reason why Nintendo would want/need to do this. Just because they can doesn't make it right.

@bboy2970
I noticed that too! I just didn't know if it was me or part of the update.
Re: Guide: Nintendo 3DS System Update v. 4.0.0-7
I'm actually pretty satisfied with the update. The eShop update is cool, and while it would be nice to customize folders more, I'm still happy with the folders.
