If you happen to be a scorned YouTuber who fell victim to some copyright drama with your Nintendo-related material, then you’ll be happy to know Nintendo has a solution for you: The Nintendo Creators Program.
Now in its Beta form, this is the company’s official YouTube revenue sharing program for nearly all Nintendo-related content that fans want to use.
Here’s how Nintendo describes it:
“In the past, advertising proceeds that could be received for videos that included Nintendo-copyrighted content (such as gameplay videos) went to Nintendo, according to YouTube rules. Now, through this service, Nintendo will send you a share of these advertising proceeds for any YouTube videos or channels containing Nintendo-copyrighted content that you register.”
Now, I say nearly all Nintendo-related content because if you look at their list of supported games, you may see some important ones missing (CTRL + F Pokemon).
This stuff can be pretty complicated (especially when money is involved), so be sure to read all the details before setting up your Nintendo-specific YouTube channel.
How much money can you actually make? Nintendo says the advertisement revenue share is 70% for channels and 60% for videos.
