Nintendo announced via its official Japanese X account<\/a> that it has updated its guidelines for sharing content from its games on online platforms.<\/p>

The guideline is available in multiple languages, including English<\/a>. The original Japanese<\/a> version has additional update date notes on the newly revised lines on the page, which has been regularly updated since its debut in late 2018. Nintendo made three new revisions to the guidelines on September 2, 2024.<\/p>

The first revision added a new line to the official guidelines list. It shows Nintendo’s right to object to any infringing content and blacklist the offender from sharing content from Nintendo games in the future. The Japanese page added that the company will even use legal measures to enforce its objections.<\/p>

In the second revision, the company explained the types of shared content it allows and disallows. While Nintendo forbids republishing official trailers and game assets like music or cutscenes, it also discourages players from uploading simple gameplay recordings without any edits or commentaries. The Japanese page added an exception to content produced directly from the Nintendo Switch’s Share button feature, which includes videos that can only run for up to 30 seconds.<\/p>
