And there should be. Just throw it in the first 3 seconds of the clip via text on the bottom: "This video is sponsored by so and so". The end.

It's sad when a mobile game not having micro transactions is enough to make us want it.

Dude's got a good point about the profits thing. I mean, I only bought the game so that I could capture Noriega.


Kidding, of course. I haven't bought a CoD game since MW2.

This reminds me of all the fun I had in Ocarina of Time back in the 64 days, particularly the part where you get to shoot fire arrows at all the race cars.

Why does this have to be only a media stunt? Why can't it be seen as correcting the gross misrepresentation of the American population in Marvel comics? You're far too cynical.

They introduce lots of new characters. Heck, Guardians of the Galaxy are pretty darn new (at least the movie crew).

Besides, how is it lazy to have a new person take up the mantle of Captain America? If anything, it's the opposite of lazy. It forces the writers to define what makes someone "Captain America"…

You should probably at least wait for the trailer. Sure, it's likely it'll be very different from the comics. But as long as it's a good movie in its own right, it'll be worth seeing.

Part of Robin's Final Smash, not an Assist.

It's really bizarre that you linked to the Twitter account instead of the Miiverse account, where the pics of the day are initially revealed. Also, you wouldn't have to say that a Kotaku reader points that out, because it was mentioned in Sakurai's Miiverse post.

You can respond logically all you want. It's clear that this guy just wants to keep reiterating his point because he doesn't want to admit a) pirating is worse than buying used games and b)that his point was wrong.

He will not admit his initial statement was wrong, regardless of how well you construct your argument. …

It's not a thing invented to make more money in the movie franchise. It's a thing invented to make money from toys.

They could sell their commentaries for as much as they want, they just can't publish video of someone else's work without expecting them to take a percentage.

I can't take a photograph of the Mona Lisa and sell that as a derivative work. What I can do, however, is sell my commentary on the painting.

No. You pay for the right to play their game, not make money by showing video of it. Recording video of a game and making money of it is barely different from selling pirated copies of it.

You're right. Nintendo should have no business claiming for money that other people make by doing nothing but recording a game that Nintendo made, and perhaps withs one commentary.

How can you honestly look at this and say that Nintendo is making money off the LP creators and not the other way around, too?

Honestly, I think Nintendo's standing on a pretty good middle ground here. They're not taking the videos down anymore. They're just saying, "If you're going to make money off our product, we should as well."

You're right. And it's pretty immoral that people think they have the right to post footage of a game they had no part in making and then profiting from it. It's even more immoral for those people to complain when the company who created that game in the first place says, "Hey guys, you can keep doing that, but…

Actually, I know for a fact that many people will watch a Let's Play to "experience" a game they have no plans on buying. I've never heard a single person buying a game because they watched a Let's Play.

Is there any evidence people buy games because of Let's Plays? Most of the people I know who watch Let's Plays either already own the game or have no interest in owning it. Until there's evidence Let's Plays are benefitting Nintendo financially, there's no reason they shouldn't share in the revenue.

Really? You think this is the same thing as Microsoft getting to share in your novel because you created it in Word? That's not the same thing at all: using Word is simply the program you use to write down words that could exist in the same exact way by using any other program. Let's Plays can't exist without the…

If everyone complained it had too much story, then story was a weak point. Weak story doesn't mean no story.
