I sort of gave up on Nintendo but seeing with what they're coming out I'm super tempted to jump back in the boat. As someone who wishes to make Let's Play videos and possibly stream, does Nintendo's Youtube deal thing (The whole, taking money that you make when playing their games) affect all of their Wii U titles?

@couchpals This is the whitelist of games that is part of the Nintendo Creators Program:

https://r.ncp.nintendo.net/whitelist

So notable game that are not on that list include Smash Bros., Pokemon games, and Bayonetta. But pretty much everything else on the list will need to be registered with Nintendo.

I am almost positive that all big name Nintendo games of this year - Mario Party 10, Splatoon, Mario Maker - are whitelisted, though I may be wrong on that.

@couchpals: Might have a deal coming for the holidays, or can buy a used one from Nintendo Store for $200. Can check out the console and bundles for used here.

Ill go five reasons why I like my Wii U

The touchpad allows you to play even when someone else wants the tv! handy when gf watches hollyoaks

Mario Kart, always a great drinking game

Smash Bros, an even better drinking game and 8 players

DK, nice and simple

backwards compatibiliy - Skyward sword for example(wii i know, but im playing it through on wii u)

You have to go with whatever they white list for Let's Play vids. It's stupid. Why did you give up on Nintendo? Depending on why, it may or may not be a good idea for you to pick up a Wii U.

If someone needs convincing to buy a product, I doubt you really want it in the first place.

If your intention is to stream than dont pick up a wii u. The creators program is so dumb and if you dont sign up they will put claims on your videos
