Earlier today, Nintendo announced on its Japanese Twitter account that the company will eventually offer fans an affiliate program on YouTube. Nintendo of America has now followed up with official comments of its own.

A statement from the company reads:

Nintendo has been permitting the use of Nintendo copyrighted material in videos on YouTube under appropriate circumstances. Advertisements may accompany those videos, and in keeping with previous policy that revenue is shared between YouTube and Nintendo. In addition, for those who wish to use the material more proactively, we are preparing an affiliate program in which a portion of the advertising profit is given to the creator. Details about this affiliate program will be announced in the future.
