Taco:
In all honesty it's quite fair, a lot of let's plays use emulators which are not licensed by Nintendo there for you're playing pirated games and posting the proof on YouTube. I'm not against emulators in anyways they can save you lots of money playing old games like little Samson and dinosaur peak but it's still technically illegal cause you're downloading the games for free off the internet. So if they're gonna complain about it buy a nintendo or third party product and the actual game. Nintendo could slam their fist down on emulators but people are getting enjoyment from them and that's their main concern ever since the gamecube so them taking ad revenue from people sitting around doing nothing but playing video games is quite okay. It's their product and you paid to play it not to make money off it by the content. So all in all if they're complaining about it they should just stop doing it nintendo has the right to do it it's still their product through and through.

Taco beat me to the emulation video subject. For the most part, I could care less aout this topic. I cannot believe anyone is profiting from it. wtf?

However, I cannot stand legal bullies: Licensed by Nintendo means "we don't own the rights." Nintendo only owns the rights to a handful of titles, such as Mario and DK. Nintendo is starting to resemble the NFL and Toys Are Us (remember the Road Kills Are Us website? LOL)

I use youtube sometimes to help with strategies. For example, i had trouble herding the grannies in Earthworm Jim 3-D for N64 and a youtube video allowed me to see how it's done so i don't have to try it 50million times. I'd hate to see video-guides disappear altogether. Guess i better start downloading all of the retro vids... replacing intelligent puzzles with toe-nail grabbing jumps with angle precision is garbage programming. I'd rather play a game that asks me to translate an ancient Greek book before proceeding. Thus, i like Myst and Riven much better than Mario Bros. and the pipe dreams.

it's just like back in the 80's they did it to toys r us and tengen. Also the video guides help me a lot I don't mind those those are fair use in my opinion as they help others but let's plays is just for profit IMO as if your playing it cause other people wanna watch who's that helping? So video guides yes, let's plays meh not so much.

Well, it looks like it's impossible for me to even sign up. The only countries where you can join are Japan and the United States. rest of the world including Canada is SOL.

Fix this Nintendo. Right away.

i've seen those "let's play" videos before but i skip them for strategy play. I never knew that they were making money from it. insane. I am completely unaware of this youtube ad revenue. interesting. Anyway, good to chat with you Taco. Hope you have a great day. I'm off to work ...
