You can't. YouTube won't let you monetize channels like that.Have these Youtubers tried to make money through ads with the music rips?

It's because the official soundtrack is available for purchase.
It's not even the full soundtrack, just a small selection.
That only has like 1/4 of the game's soundtrack. An official soundtrack like the one for Awakening/Fates/Echoes probably won't release until later this year or early next year.It's because the official soundtrack is available for purchase.
See, the issue is you'd be confusing SilvaGunner with SiIvaGunner. An honest mistake.
The biggest problem and why I don't buy more game soundtracks is because they never have ALL the music. If they had all the music I'd shovel money into their bank account. But as of right now everyone always gives like 12 tracks and that's it. Especially with the Ablaze and normal versions of music in games like Fire Emblem it's like "If you won't give me the full thing don't punish me for seeking it out"
One must wonder if they take the same approach if someone uploads their music to NicoNico or any other Japanese video streaming websites.
I'm not too concerned about this from the perspective of a fan.
It's a game of whack-a-mole. Nintendo can waste their time playing this game if they want, but more are just going to pop up. If not YouTube, then elsewhere.

Probably the label behing the full soundtrack didn't want an international release. Odyssey's full OST is available for sale in Japan.Also Why did they put an 8 track sound selection for Odyssey on iTunes and then just... stop?
I get the critic for the OST of game like DKCTF which never released, but the OSTs for the recent Fire Emblem games have been nothing short of amazing.... Fates was an 8 CD OST that included all the songs in the game!

I remember the site they had, I was modding the SHIT out of brawlThis. Damn. Their channel helped me so much during school when I was studying. Such a shame.
Nintendo is great at jamming a wedge between their customers and their content.
This sucks but we should be honest here: this impacts like 1% of their customers.
I mean just in general, why is that the only music they've put out?I get the critic for the OST of game like DKCTF which never released, but the OSTs for the recent Fire Emblem games have been nothing short of amazing.... Fates was an 8 CD OST that included all the songs in the game!

Yup. It's like pirating, unless if it's uploaded officially by the publisher just like many music videos on Youtube.Just because something is on Youtube, doesn't technically make it legal.
If you're ok with listening to copyrighted music on Youtube that isn't getting monetized by the copyright owners, why not just acquire it through other means?
The thing is that the music has been there for a long time already. If people don't know about the quality now, I doubt they ever will with how accessible it was until recentlyThey'd have FAR more customers if more people knew the quality of Nintendo's music.

They could release them on digital platforms, tag uploads on YouTube like how other music is handled, and proceed from there. Yet, they don't.
In the meantime, this sucks. I get that they have their reasons, but the outcome is unpleasant. Please change your decision, Nintendo.
Some of these videos get millions of views, I don't think the number of people who look up VGM on youtube is as tiny as you think.
Yup, tag the music, enable monetization, profit. Fans get what they want, the music stays there, their IP is generating them revenue AND community goodwill.
Of course Fates gets the good OST -____-|I get the critic for the OST of game like DKCTF which never released, but the OSTs for the recent Fire Emblem games have been nothing short of amazing.... Fates was an 8 CD OST that included all the songs in the game!
Nothing is worse than buying an OST and then it not even having the song you bought it for.Kind of unrelated but your post reminded me of something. Soulcalibur V on PS3 pissed me the fuck off because of this. There was a version of that game that came with a soundtrack CD. There was only a few songs on that CD. Half of them were just randomly chosen SCV songs but the other half, the more important half, were some of the best songs from the series history. For whatever stupid reason they decided that the in-game music DLC couldn't use THOSE songs. So you couldn't hear any of them in-game.
I remember waiting months for the DLC to come every time the PSN store updated. But "In Father's Name" and "Innocent Vision" never came. Still a little heartbroken over this. Also I remember the nice little CD that came with Persona 4 Arena. It had a whole FIVE songs on it.
Such a bullshit. Nobody gives a shit about CDs anymore outside collectors.
Just put all music on Spotify like Bamco and Square.
Awakening had a complete OST too (I think at least) but yeah, they are both Japan exclusive.Of course Fates gets the good OST -____-|
I've been buying the collectors editions of the last few FE titles and all my OSTs are barely passable. And then the other stuff is ridiculously overpriced in Japan from my experience. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

I'm so jealous :( The XC2 OST is just...so great.Awakening had a complete OST too (I think at least) but yeah, they are both Japan exclusive.
More than streaming, I'd prefer if they sold their music digitally. I'm not a fan of the streaming model, and I like my music in high Res - it was a pain, but I got the OST for XC2 in the Hi-Res format and it's godly.
They could charge lower for the MP3 releases, since most people really don't care about that.
It's fucking amazing. Counterattack is just on a whole another level.
