It's out. Someone is streaming the early game on discord as I type this. It'll be datamined and every scrap of the game will be on the internet by the end of the week, so uh go dark now if you want to stay unspoiled.

Is there any prescedent for Nintendo pushing release forward in cases like these? I want to say something similar happened with one of the Pokemon releases and once it got to a saturation point retailers broke the street date.

It won't happen.

I’d be surprised if they moved it since that would seem to encourage leaks like these. I’m sure being internal security or whatever you call it at Nintendo is a pretty lively job these days.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

If you can think of the game that did get moved in the meantime come back and post it, I tried googling it and didn’t come up with a Nintendo game that was moved up after a leak.

It was one of the mainline Pokemon games, I want to say X and Y. I don't think it was sanctioned in any way, just retailers trying to get the jump on eachother.

Nintendo has had games leak this far ahead before. It's kinda the nature of releasing popular games on cartridges. They need more press time than a disc based game because there's way less global capacity for making switch carts. And that means going gold nearly two months out and spending that whole time making carts, which means more time for leaks to happen.

I may have to go dark. Most people are good at using spoiler tags but clickbait titles are going to suck.

I have never really paid attention to something like this. How does the game leak? Does that just mean someone involved in the distribution stole copies?

Usually yeah. Or some idiot at a game shop took some copies and gave them out to friends who start posting things everywhere.

Haha was curious if it was out on PC yet but a quick look I'm seeing a lot of people downloading a video of link dancing instead of the ROM they thought it was.

I wouldn't go out of my way to encounter spoilers but I am less hardcore than a lot of you. I don't want to see solutions to puzzles or a guide or whatever, but plot points in a Zelda game don't really bofher me. Like if there is a spoiler that Link makes out with Sidon or that Zelda is a ghost that's not going to impact things for me like it would a movie. It depends on the game. Something more cinematic like Witcher 3 I might care more about.

The stream has a link to the damned game in the pinned message (I think, could just be an elaborate way to get people to install viruses). It's a 17.5 GB file on a filesharing website I've never heard of before that has a 10GB a day limit if you don't use a paid account.

This guy's going to be sent to the nintendo mines
