1,300 Videos Removed From YouTube; Nintendo Blocks Content

We've known for a while now that Nintendo is pretty strict about publishing content from its games on YouTube. On Saturday, representatives of the "big N" made another step confirming this fact, Namely, they blocked more than 1300 videos with music from their games. The materials were on a channel run by a known as GilvaSunner, who - as he claims - did not monetize the videos. He published them only because the soundtracks from Nintendo games, included in the list below, are not available on streaming services such as Spotify, which means that the only way to listen to them is to run the game in question.

Interestingly, Nintendo did not GilvaSunner for the first time. The Japanese company Super Mario Sunshine is still available on GilvaSunner's youtube channel. It doesn't appear that the footage is set to return. It's equally unlikely that Nintendo will publish OSTs from its games on streaming services, although such a move would provide the company with additional revenue.

Nintendo Creators Program - a fiasco from years ago

"Big N"'s restrictive approach mentioned at the beginning of this post The Legend of Zelda quickly found it too limiting and simply unfair. Nintendo made some concessions, setting guidelines according to which any videos (including streams) or images that copied the content of the company's games without any creative contribution of the person who made them available were not allowed.
