It’s pretty much confirmed now that all Mario Kart 8 footage uploaded using the Mario Kart TV application will get content ID’d. This means that Nintendo will make quite a bit of money by auto claiming all Mario Kart 8 footage that is uploaded using the application. Judging from the reactions on Twitter it seems as though a few Youtubers aren’t entirely impressed.
Update: Tilmen says that “this was a guess” “uhm…..mine was just a guessing. I never confirmed anything. What is going on? lol”
Thanks, The Velcro Gamer
Uhh hello! my favirite utuber revew tech usa is not gona like this 1 bit!!!!
Wow… this may turn some people off for the MKTV feature.
So… they are pissed that they will have to get a real job now that they can’t earn ad revenue from Nintendo’s content?
nope its not about about having a job. youtube can be considered a job.
Yup. You are a stupid fuck to think that. No wonder your ass dropped out of elementary and living on a daily basis with your mom..in your 30s.
Get your shit together loser
Lets playing is real job. How dare you.
It is a real job, but is one of those jobs I have zero respect for.
Mainly because it’s not productive for the society, and it kind-of makes people lazy? + They make money off of other people’s content.
So what’s the big deal, half of these yahoos damned Nintendo to failure anyway. Tsk Tsk
he’s awesome,one of the better youtubes out there,is not biased at all and will give out his opinion no matter what
Giving your channel the name “Nintendomination” and not being biased does not work.
I love him! I don’t think he’ll care
Uhh Hello Ben Sanders join the dark side and play Sony only products. reach new heights of enjoyment when you play the true next generation console ! Be an elite now! Join the Sony army today!!!
And defect tomorrow to the superior forces of Steam.
Bless us with some irrelevant YouTube videos you social mute.You are an abortion to gaming and an over achieving “Mongolian of unnatural decent”. All hail Nintendo Commander Quadraxis.. A phenom of Trisomy 21…
OH MY GOD NOT FUCKING YOU AGAIN!!
I don’t get why people are getting so mad about this. It’s N’s game, and the video is made with there editing thing. It’s not like it has commentary or any original content in it, so why would you get paid for it?
Yeah! Then if someone records footage, edits it, adds commentary, ect… THEN you can get mad about it.
correct me if i’m wing but if someone does that, the ID would be lost (maybe unless the person has access to the original video straight from MK or youtube’s servers)
^*wrong – not wing
Correctly. A video taken using the MKTV feature belongs to Nintendo, because it was a tool used in their game on their console that allowed you to upload the video to Youtube.
Now, if you use any recording methods besides the one offered by Nintendo, and apply edits in any manner, then it’s not Nintendo’s property, but a work of yours. THEN the revenue should be yours, not Nintendo’s.
In other words, although Nintendo is doing something some may find abusive, they’re on their right. If you don’t want to let them have money on your races, then you find a way to capture the video yourself and edit in some way to make it look like it wasn’t taken from the in-game tool.
That doesn’t matter for YouTube. They’ve taken down stuff like music parodies EVEN when the the creators did all the work.
I don’t think this is the real problem. On youtube when you have a chanel, if you get a lot of these, Youtube can strike you. And for people who post really long video this can make some people very angry cause Nintendo propose this stuff but using it can mean be fired of Youtube you know what i mean ?
I really don’t think this is true. Copyright claims shouldn’t really matter on YouTube as long as the copyright holders have given their OK to upload these videos on YouTube. There are actually different kinds of copyright claims on YouTube. I also once had a video on my channel on which YouTube detected copyright. But it explicitly mentioned that I could continue using the video as long as the copyright holder didn’t protest. It also never had any consequences for me.
THIS IS FROM ONE GUY! STOP REPORTING IT AS CONFIRMED UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY TRY TO UPLOAD STUFF. THIS GUY IS NOT LEGIT
Actually, this guy is one of those reviewers/game previewers and is a credible source of game information, so yes, I do think he’s legit. :/
He is not he thinks Bayo 2 has microtransactions
They have the rights to do it. It’s their property after all.
So, they make money on their own property… and that’s news??
Pretty much confirmed now? Where are the sources
motherfuckers…
Oh you sneaky fuckers…
WTF? These comments say the date is May 2. I was like holy crap? The heck? I better go pick up Kirby! And then I remembered that this site can’t tell freaking time… -_-
LOL, actually, this is a smart move. The consumer doesn’t pay money out of their pockets if they just upload it directly, I can see if you commentary and all that shit but I don’t see a reason to get mad over something Nintendo does. Perhaps I should put those annoying ads on my videos to make a little money myself eh? I better since I’m gonna be uploading a lot this time…or have SuperShadowMarioFan do it.
Don’t care. I’ll be more worried about actually playing the game than uploading my video just so 5 people can watch it…
Yeah, like who cares about watching nobodies play the game?
You are since you’re likely here talking ass language claiming you don’t do this while we know trolls are a dead giveaway on their own to watch Youtube to talk shit.
Not really, I just use Youtube to listen to some music while I do other stuff. The bunch of nobodies really think they will get famous or something for uploading totally uninteresting footage, like those who stream shit on PS4 and whatnot. And it’s not like anyone here is a Youtube partner, so who cares?
I am actually….
Well, congrats I guess.
Man.. those YouTubers are so whiny, just deal with it…
Ha, so Nintendo is using Wii U owners to make money for them? They no longer know how to make money so they say fine you guys make us money then.
Who’s being fined? … and why should I or anyone else get paid for video of my/their MK8 gameplay?!?!?
Actually, this is a smart move. The consumer doesn’t pay money out of their pockets if they just upload it directly, I can see if you commentary and all that shit but I don’t see a reason to get mad over something Nintendo does. Maybe Microsoft and Sony should take notice so they can not charge just for online and shit…think about it.
cheaptendo cant afford e3 lol.
Cheapxbot can’t afford a new genitalia his dumbass mother clipped off or a broken ass Xbox with 2006 Naruto game.
and you can’t afford a 360 which is 60 dollars in a pawn shop and 100 dollars brand new…exposed!
Kill yourself.
the best thing you can do is to spend your fucking money with a whore
No you idiot. They’re reassuring that they won’t make money off of their own content that they own.
Its their copyright not everyone elses. In fact, blame Google for this whole mess allowing lazy bastards to steal and repost video content from another source to make a cheap buck. This is a matter of copyright issue, not a company exploiting consumers for profit.
That’s what Microsoft and Xbox One is doing with its “hidden” DRM.
Fined?…Who the fuck is fining who you fool? This isn’t even remotely fining.
I don’t see why it’s unfair… it’s their game. If you don’t want to have to pay in then don’t use the YouTube uploading feature.
You people actual thought they could make money by uploading a Mario Kart 8 video using MKTV over and over again??
is there news saying otherwise?
OOOPS… Take off the “You” in the beginning. It will make more scene.
Ah, ok…but still, if they did make a contract, then yes. But what do I know? That’s should make a good question pop on me.
LOOL! Maybe Nintendo was planning this all along…
Well this proves nothing his videos that got claim was using footage that is on the mk8 website so techly it is a fair claim since Nintendo were the ones who made the video he just combine all the clips and added music.
dont fucking post speculative news off random twitters sheesh
That’s the smartest comment I’ve read on this sight in a while.
Exactly. This could mean something else and these idiots for fishes will swallow anything up.
Ya probably don’t even know the entire blueprint of this feature and how it works. Go research first before looking like a moron talking out of its ass.
Doesn’t matter. Aren’t these like 30 sec clips? And all a person does is to click a button. It’s to share with friends on youtube (and so on to twitter, facebook etc.), not to make money!
I love it
I get the purpose of this that Nintendo is pissed that Google is paying people based on views of their own content so this is there solution: Give Mario Kart 8 players a chance to directly upload gameplay into their Youtube accounts but they won’t see any of that revenues which I don’t entirely blame Nintendo for because of the whole copyright thing and people are getting paid from their own creation.
This might turn down some people but let’s be real about one thing: If you want money, you gotta work for it on your own terms not using somebody else’s. All content owners easily get pissed over this and tried to take control of the internet. But the one source you should entirely blame for this is Google themselves introducing the feature to get money using another one’s content.
Look on the bright side of this: Nintendo has now given us a way to record/upload gameplay directly from Wii U without capture cards. They’re just reassuring that their revenues and credits from those gameplays are rightfully theirs. You may call me a fanboy (I’m looking at you Sasori so come try me and fail) but this is about copyright law and I understand it better than those who refuse to realize it exists for a reason.
how the heck are you damage controlling this, this will affect alot of nintendo guys on youtube who make lets plays.
How do you make let’s plays with that feature if you can’t upload commentary directly, you dumb dumb? How retarded can you be? Seriously.
1. Its their fucking copyrighted material and your dumbass, of all people, should know they’re sensitive about their IPs being abused for profit. You forgot about that fanmade Metroid thing in kickstarter? That’s what millions of Youtubers are doing. Using their content, even without crediting, to make revenues from ads and that’s technically illegal.
I ain’t damage controlling asshat. Its the law. Go look it up before coming back looking like a fucking idiot who can’t pick a dictionary to type shit right.
lol. is this how cheaptendo will make money like this. now i have more reasons to skip mario kart 8.
cleveland steamer confirmed^

You don’t have to use that feature at all if you dont want you dumbass. Its not forced like the Kinect.
I wouldn’t be reviewing this game with Mario Kart TV but I think just to be safe I should hold off on reviewing this game for at least a year.
All of you people above who happen to scroll to this comment, hear me very carefully:
Think about what this Content ID is gonna do. First of all, when linking your Youtube into Mario Kart TV feature, ALL GAMEPLAY VIDEOS YOU UPLOAD GOES TO YOUR ACCOUNT, NOT NINTENDO’S. So any of ya thinking Nintendo is stealing money or using people from this feature to make money is a damn fool and needs their frontal lobe to be reexamined. All this Content ID is doing to your video is simply “watermarking” it so that Google/Youtube or whoever pays revenues to those video owners will know that the videos are copyrighted material of Nintendo and therefore, knows the contents of your video technically isn’t yours and won’t pay you for using those videos for ads or something.
Nintendo isn’t using people, stealing money or any of that bizarre crap. Its insurance that people won’t make money by using their content on Youtube which is in fact ILLEGAL and Nintendo has every right to sue that money back when it happens.
I’ll say it again: Video you upload from Mario Kart TV goes to your account, not Nintendo so nobody is making nor losing money from that. Its just, like I said, watermarking the videos so other will know its their content not the uploader so there won’t be anymore legal issues.
Hope this post will at least make people critically think and realize this. Its not exploitation at all. Its insurance to keep the fair ball play and abusers of the copyright laws in check and I must say this is a clever move by Nintendo and its actually a much balanced ID function than when Youtube did there’s amd flagged so many innocent accountants that followed the rules.
If this turns out to be true, it just shows how cheap Nintendo is and how desperate they are after the quick money. Why not just let the people have the fun of uploading MK8 footage with soundtracks or whatever? Why not let people share the fun they are having with the game with others? So much for fan-support.
There was a kinda similar thing to this a while ago, where Nintendo claimed ownership of Youtube videos that contain properties of Nintendo, e.g. soundtracks, gameplay footage or even images. That means, the revenue gained through ads in an affected video, which originally would go to the uploader of the video, got claimed by Nintendo. I remember that many Youtubers, especially Let’s Players, didn’t like that very much either. Understandable, people put both effort and time into making those Let’s Plays, and it’s pretty much scummy and very cheap of Nintendo to honestly go after those people’s money. And yea, as I said, if this really turns out to be true, which I actually believe it will, I’ll lose some more respect for Nintendo.
*original poster*
I forgot to add that I do realize that it’s fully legal what they’re doing. It’s just the bad moral behind it. You don’t see other companies doing that either, just Nintendo.
And besides Let’s Plays, there also are video reviews on games. So yea, a pretty big dick move on Nintendo’s side.
I will personally still use this feature. Just in case I’ll create a fake email account and random youtube screename to post all my MK videos on it. I don’t use Youtube or play video games to make a profit…although maybe I should. I also won’t feel like I am being used by uploading through MKTV. I don’t intend to monetize any of the videos I upload, but to save my gameplay and share with random people online.
Youtube is going to be flooded with racing videos when Mario Kart is released. Nobody’s gonna watch all those videos of the same thing. Nintendo aint gonna make shit off these videos, and the thought probably never crossed their mind.
Fuck this generation of kids that sit on youtube and watch other people play video games and then go and play the same game after watching someone do it its pathetic… if nintendo wants to use my mariokart footage for whatever reason that’s fine god forbid they use your video in Ad video to promote this game or a tournament for it.
You cant monetize your MK videos anyways. You wont get enough views to do so. You get a hundred bucs for every one hundred thousand views. good luck.
Only $100 dollars for every 100,000 views…and all of these idiots are bitching over that? WTF is gonna get that kind of views by watching conventional video gameplay videos?
Jesus Christ people can be that desparate AND stupid.
I like watching games on youtube. Only the ones I never got to play though, I hate spoilers.
If it does happen or not, it won’t happen with everyone because not everyone is youtube partners. Specially kids who will mostly play the game, will only post on youtube for the fun of it. Only partners get paid or what not.
People are bitching because they aren’t getting paid by playing games? The fuck?
I know right? How fucking sad.
In legal standpoint, Nintendo is on the right especially since this kind of problem has been hapoening years before Google/Youtube or even Nintendo took legal action. People just want to abuse THEIR content to make a cheap quick buck. This is the reason why some think people are fucking lazy.
Just get off of your ass and look for a job. If you wanna upload videos of yourself playing video games, at least do so, while crediting the creators of the content seen, without exploiting money and credit from them.
All Nintendo is doing is to insure that nobody abuses their content on Youtube to make money and if MKTV Youtube function allows videos to be uploaded and seen in their account and not Nintendo’s, then nobody here is losing or making money or exploiting each other.
I swear humanity now is just a bunch of fucking selfish, ass scratching apes.
They have always been anyway…
There isn’t anything wrong with what Nintendo do either, it’s their game and uploading device (or what to call it). So ofcourse they have the right to claim the videos, since they are Nintendos anyway.
When I saw this I just knew people would whine out of proportions, even though there isn’t any reason to do so. How many people earns money on Youtube anyway ? I’m a youtube partner, but does not earn a cent.
Frankly I would presume this was just obvious…
Also, the “Let’s Play” sect of Youtube video-makers are the most lazy uninspired group of people I have ever seen. Stop consuming their stuff – if you like watching Youtube gaming stuff, try rewarding people who produce quality videos that took time and effort to make and produce, rather than those who would just play games while speaking into a microphone and call it entertainment.
You got that right, it’s funny and sad how they think it’s considered “a real job”.
I won’t be uploading any footage via the MKTV publishing service. I have my own capture card and I’ll be recording while I play. It will still be copyrighted but I won’t have any MKTV logo in the top corner I suppose. And I get to add my own intro and outro to it all! You can check out my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/NintendoImpactGaming :) Thanks guys and girls!
Your dubstep intro and ugly banner gave me cancer. Block and report.
Oh that’s great, block and report. Good one!

The question is: how exactly is this affecting me as a Wii U user that has no interest in making money in YouTube but just share the races? Will I be able to download the videos from my own channel and edit them all together to do a best of?
I really don’t think Nintendo has any/much control of this, or if they do, they aren’t aware. Nintendo has plenty of money, and they know it. It wouldn’t make sense for them to do this to their fans, because the thing in control of copyright is the bot that checks videos being uploaded for a match to something copyrighted by someone else. On YouTube, there are two types of copyright; copyright stating that you own something and you claim all rights for videos relating to the subject uploaded, and then there’s the kind that’s states you own that thing, but you give everyone permission to use it as their own.
