Nintendo Creators Program wants to recruit YouTubers with new ad sharing offer

MCV Staff 29th January 2015 Business News

Wii U and 3DS platform holder Nintendo is taking another step toward repairing relations with video creators by launching a new ad revenue sharing video model.

The Nintendo Creators Program offers users a 60 per cent share on ad revenue form any videos using footage from a Nintendo title. Those willing to establish a Nintendo-dedicated channel will see their share upped to 70 per cent.

It will officially debut on May 27th but is available in beta form now. Those wishing to take part must have a Google and PayPal account.

Nintendo has told Polygon that this new scheme will run conjunction with its content ID claiming strategy. That gives creators the option of keeping videos containing Nintendo content live if they agreed to hosting Nintendo ads on them – the catch being that subsequent revenue was split between only Nintendo and YouTube, with nothing going to the video creator.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
