Summary
Nintendo recently declared during an announcement of an event that they would be giving their permission to anyone to make derivative content of their IPs, including Let's Plays. This means that users can finally make money from Nintendo content! Unfortunately, this only applies to a Japanese video sharing website called Nicovideo. As of this Vlog day, YouTube does not qualify for this.

Stephen appreciates this gesture and anticipates that Nintendo will soon come around and allow derivative content to be shown for profit on YouTube.
