what a sick joke, nintendo..

I believe the terms were that it only works if your channel is exclusively devoted to Nintendo stuff, which none of these are, so it's useless.
The original content part of the video: he speaks a little.
I know we've had this conversation before but... really?

You can add single video's (different revenue split)
I don't know much about him, how well received his stuff is, but if I'm reading that right he had 150,000 followers more or less? I doubt Nintendo is too worried about that, pretty small number in the grand scheme of things. Probably not necessary though if it's just a Let's Play thing.
Exactly.

Nintendo are ass-backwards but the free coverage line is a stupid rebuttal.
Around 2 million followers on YouTube, 380 000 000 video views.
Only if you partner up with them, and everything has to be pre-approved before the video is published. But it's not a problem if he profits off the video.

He's so angry.
Look out, ladies, this guy's angry!!

They're not. Quite a few do it, in fact. Nintendo is perhaps the one that enforces it the most, though.
While I agree that nintendo's approach towards youtube has been rather out of touch, this "free ad revenue" argument only goes so far.
Joe's main concern is obviously and rightfully to make money for himself, not Nintendo, and if the people you're "generating revenue" for don't want you to do so that's their right.

Is not like Nintendo is gonna change their policies anyway...
He kinda acts like he should be entitled to being abled to make money from using Nintendo's content.
From a business standpoint, I understand how Joe finds this stupid, but legally and morally it's completely okay for Nintendo to not want people use their content, even it does give them free publicity.

An "angry" gamer on YouTube, how quaint.

angry joe has close to 2 millions subscribers
I thought the content makers get a piece if it's declared?
Regardless if Angry Joe is unwilling to create content he can't directly monetize then all the better for him, I guess. Got to get that gwap, as they say.

Nintendo and their products just stopped potentially reaching 2 million people.
Think about it.

I called it along with the many YouTube comments.
Guess this proves people on Polaris/Maker are also not safe.

So should websites like giantbomb just be shut down then?

isn't the entire point that there is no legislation about this kind of things?
so how can you say that?
also the moral part is debatable
This is something everyone who does gaming content, and certainly someone the size of Joe should already be very familiar with, not sure why he's expecting special treatment.
I do 3-4 Wii U videos a year, and if they get hit, I take the loss, whatever. It's more important to give my small audience the coverage they want to see, than the couple of bucks I'd make on the video.
The red tape (and limited list) of the "Creators Program" is not worth dealing with, but I'm not going to throw a tantrum every time a game company claims a video of something they legally have the right to claim.
The simple thing to do is just avoid companies who do this in the future and move on with your life. I know Joe probably makes more money on the videos where he complains about this stuff, so I understand why he does it, but it's the same schtick every time.
But hey, he got his fans to buy him a Wii U, and now he doesn't have to even cover those games.

Yeah right, i'm sure those 2 millions people won't hear from Nintendo products from everywhere else anyway.
