Iwata announces that Nintendo now officially gives it's permission for anyone to use their properties for derivative works, even showcasing videos of famous Let's Plays, music covers, fanarts.



Iwata also announced a "Creative Endorsement Program" where Nintendo will reward money to creators with well-received work. This program is only applicable to Nicovideo.jp, which is under Dwango.

EDIT:

I've made a mistake, the Creative Endorsement Program did not come from Nintendo, but was originally created by Nicovideo (Dwango) for plenty of works. Nintendo only announced that it's titles are now eligible for it!

The Creative Endorsement Program was set up back in 2011 to reward creators who made highly viewed videos.

Sorry for the mistake.

During an event from Dwango for announcing a new gaming event which I covered here:Nintendo announced on a stream that videos featuring their games propertiesis allowed. So far, they have acknowledged it for Let's Plays, Game Music Covers, and Fan Art.Under a Creative Endorsement Program(Dwango), which rewards video creators for making high-ranking videos, Nintendo will allow videos using Nintendo properties to receive such prizes.There is a list of titles which they have not revealed for which the Creative Endorsement Program can be applied to, so it only applies under these titles. The program will be activated on 1st December, so expect more details later on.Source: http://nviewer.mobi/player?video_id=sm24939536 Skip to 7:26.Here's an article from a news site about it: http://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20141117079/ Questions linger:Does this policy only apply in Nicovideo JP and not Youtube? How about the International version of Nicovideo?Are only LP's, Fanart, Music and Song covers allowed?
