Problems already plaguing Nintendo Creators Program applications

The already-beleaguered Nintendo Creators Program is finding itself in hot water once again. YouTubers who’ve applied to the program are complaining of a myriad of issues connected to the process.

Originally, Nintendo stated the application process would only take two to three days, but this has already blown out considerably.

“Due to your enthusiasm for the program, we’re receiving a higher volume of applications to register channels & videos than expected,” Nintendo advised via the program’s website. “It is taking longer than we anticipated to confirm the applications. We appreciate your patience as we work through them as quickly as possible.”

Nintendo also reminded applicants that there are special rules attached to the program.

“[W]e are only able to register videos that contain game titles specified on the list of supported games,” Nintendo said, adding that, “we are only able to register channels that contain game titles specified on the list of supported games.”

Those that have channels with a combination of supported and unsupported games will have to submit each video individually.

The program was announced and placed in beta on 29 January.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
