Verification tags are now an important part of social media and websites like YouTube, allowing users to easily identify legitimate channels and accounts. With that in mind, Nintendo’s American YouTube channel seems to have lost some of its prominence lately.
As explained in a post on the Nintendo subreddit (via GoNintendo) The name of the Nintendo for America channel, which was simply “Nintendo”, was changed to “America Nintendo”. He lost his verification card in the process.
There’s no doubt that Nintendo of America will get its tick back sooner or later. Until then, this is basically a warning that the name has changed and is still there Officially channel, not a fake account. Another easy way to solve this problem is to look at the number of subscribers. The original channel has around 8.61 million subscribers.
According to some comments in the same thread, this name change could be due to new YouTube policies or even related to Nintendo’s desire to have a certain brand on certain channels. If you’re not already a subscriber to Nintendo’s YouTube channels, it’s worth it – new trailers are usually uploaded every week.
