Comment Probably backfired on them (Score 2) 110
I've noticed that the Let's Play channels I watch pretty much stopped doing Nintendo games altogether. Whether Nintendo liked it or not, these channels can bring exposure to their games.
I've bought about a dozen games after watching short LPs of them on Two Best Friends Play's channel or their subchannel on Machinima.
When this first started, I heard podcasts or interviews with people from shows like Hey Ash Whatcha Playin', TBFP, etc. where they basically said they weren't planning any Nintendo game based shows until the situation was changed.
