TL;DR:
I don't see why people are getting so bent out of shape about this. It makes sense; LPers really shouldn't be making money off of playing through a game they didn't make, or at least get permission to make money off of. If they really just wanted to show the game off, they can do it without monetizing their video.

Quote:Update: Nintendo issued Game Front the following statement:
As part of our on-going push to ensure Nintendo content is shared across social media channels in an appropriate and safe way, we became a YouTube partner and as such in February 2013 we registered our copyright content in the YouTube database. For most fan videos this will not result in any changes, however, for those videos featuring Nintendo-owned content, such as images or audio of a certain length, adverts will now appear at the beginning, next to or at the end of the clips. We continually want our fans to enjoy sharing Nintendo content on YouTube, and that is why, unlike other entertainment companies, we have chosen not to block people using our intellectual property.
