Unused text found in Smash Bros. Wii U relating to YouTube uploads
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii U | 5 Comments
The Cutting Room Floor is known for its ability to unearth data and information from games that wouldn’t be accessible under normal circumstances. In the case of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the site has found several lines of unused text that points to an unused feature in which users could upload videos to YouTube.
Here’s the full lineup of text:
Convert the replay data into a video and post it? This requires a Google account.
(Note: This process may take longer than the duration of the replay.)
Cancel the conversion process?
Download?
Download complete. To see it, go to Í and then Í.
Download and save?
Replays you’ve downloaded can be found in the Vault.
By connecting to Nintendo Network, you can send your replay to friends or show it off to the world.
Whom do you want to share this with? Data will be sent to the following number of people: .
Is this OK?
Sent.
Mario Kart 8 lets players upload race highlights to YouTube, so I don’t see why Smash Bros. wouldn’t allow for the same thing. Is the text above from a scrapped feature? Or will the functionality be added in down the line via an update?

Nintendo getting a high volume of videos for Creator’s Program, will process them “as quickly as possible”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
Nintendo kicked off a beta version of its new Creator’s Program on YouTube last week. If you missed out on the news, it’s essentially a program that allows YouTube users to earn a percentage of revenue from certain Nintendo-related content.
Nintendo said on its website that videos are processed in “two to three days.” However, there are reports that many YouTube users have not yet seen approval on their first round of creations. Nintendo at least seems to be aware of the problem – which was caused by a high volume of applications – and will look to process videos “as quickly as possible.”
The full statement reads:
Thank you very much for participating in the Nintendo Creators Program. Due to your enthusiasm for the program, we’re receiving a higher volume of applications to register channels & videos than expected. It is taking longer than we anticipated to confirm the applications. We appreciate your patience as we work through them as quickly as possible.
There are a few things that you can do to help expedite the process. Please check the following points before you register your channels and/or videos. Please note that we are not able to register channels and videos that are not in line with our Terms of Service.

An overview of the latest YouTube Wii U update
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Wii U’s YouTube application was recently updated. There’s not a whole lot that’s new, but a few general improvements have been made.
Users are shown recommendations based on viewing habits and subscriptions upon launching the YouTube app. The app is a bit cleaner and apparently loads faster as well. It’s also possible to press left on the d-pad to open up the same menus and content that you see on the browser version.
One thing that remains the same is keeping all content on the GamePad, and the television stays blank until you start a video. There’s no Pro Controller support sadly!

New 3DS supports 3D viewing on YouTube
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
The New 3DS received several major upgrades over the original systems. For instance, the web browser loads much fast and is able to handle new types of content.
This extends specifically to support for YouTube. New 3DS users can watch 3D videos on YouTube without glasses (or with, though that’d defeat the 3DS’ purpose).
Reggie talks more about Nintendo’s YouTube affiliate plans
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 0 comments
Kotaku got a few more words out of Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime regarding the company’s plans for the upcoming YouTube affiliate program.
He told the site:
“Think of it as an affiliate program where we will be providing access to executives, information, etcetera, encouraging that group of affiliates to create content on our behalf.”
“When we unveil our affiliate program it’ll be clear how different entities can play. And likely there will be a place for the kinds of examples where you reference, like, look, ‘All I want to do is capture some of the content and put it out there,’ not add a lot of value. There’ll be a role for that.
“But, candidly, what we really want is folks who are going to work with us to create some unique, compelling content, because we believe that benefits both entities. Again, you look at that Mega64 video, last time I looked, close to a million views, and that benefits them and that benefits us.”
“The first thing we needed to do was make sure that the content that’s out there was representative of the franchises. These are our lifeblood. These are our children. We needed to make sure that the content there was reflective of what these franchises are. The next step is working with the YouTube community to provide access to information, access to executives, to help them create world-class content, leveraging our franchises.”
