There is no watch somebody play the game in the entirety instead of purchasing. 1 - See if the gameplay is interesting and if I want to buy it (review) 2 - See how to beat a part in a game I can't figure out 3 - See an ending to a game that I can't/won't beat or has multiple endings and I don't want to play through it again. There are only 3 reasons to watch online. I've never thought I would rather go home and watch somebody play Wii U on the internet instead of playing the Wii U. I think it would be boring as crap and I wouldn't watch it, but I don't see how it would prevent people from buying the product. Literally, someone could show themselves beating the game and I'm not entirely sure why Nintendo would want to limit it.

These let's plays are no-more demeaning than a poor review or an opinion article about Nintendo's lack of creativity or poor choices, etc.

Trademarks are protected as well and Nintendo has reason to keep their trademark strong.ĭoesn't the publisher publish the game? Isn't any screenshot then released by the publisher? It's not fair use to post 2 hours of video. The pics on the site are almost always provided by the publisher. Also, Nintendo allows it because it falls within fair use and is not demeaning. "Nintendo" is trademarked, not copyrighted.
