Nintendo Says No Livestreaming for Creators

Participants in Nintendo’s Creator Program will no longer be able to livestream gaming sessions on YouTube. Channels currently signed up to Nintendo’s revenue sharing program are entirely prohibited from livestreaming under the new rules, unless they choose to de-register the channel and register their videos individually. Separate channels by the same content producer are allowed however.

Hopefully this will not impact any Pokémon channels; Pokémon content is not managed by Nintendo under their program, but channels may be part of Nintendo’s program.

Definitely a step back for fans and creators alike! Thanks for the heads up My Nintendo News!

  1. OK wtf Nintendo? Nintendo is great at making games, but when it comes to dealing with its communities and such it’s awful. Anyone that thinks restricting YouTubers from streaming their content is a good idea are out of their minds!! Nintendo has no sense…….

  2. Uh really? What’s so wrong about streaming Nintendo games on Youtube that Nintendo won’t even allow people of their creator program to do that? This sure was a weird and odd decision on Nintendo’s part.

    But atleast they can still stream on Twitch so yay I guess

  3. After the longest day of school in this year, that includes going to Tennis lessons in the other part of the city I knew nothing about, I found a bus that can get me home. It’s going to be a long, long ride…
