The service will officially end in December. Fans will need to adhere to Nintendo’s guidelines going forward. As examples, Let’s Plays and reviews are permitted. However, Nintendo is against just uploading or livestreaming “an existing Nintendo video, gameplay footage without your own creative input, or a copy of content created by someone else.” This includes “copies of Nintendo promotional trailers, tournaments, music soundtracks, gameplay sequences, and art collections”.
