utterly revolting!!

Where did these leak so i know to stay away from those parts of the internet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not sure but there has been a torrent of leaks as of late.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Oh no! It says there might be early spoilers! Yikes!

Nothing for me to do but go download the ROM and play it early, then. I have no choice.

Hope more comes.

Remember: It's always ethically okay pirating a Nintendo game

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

At this point, I think it's gone from "ethically okay" to "mandatory".

It's like downloading Metallica's newest album. Sure, I might never listen to it, but it's the principle.

Spoiler(but yes)

Well, it works fine on the steam deck.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Probably very likely.

The first gen switch is really easy to hack. Once someone in the supply-line gets their hands on a cartridge, it's already online.

With ho wierdly consistent these leaks are now.
I doubt Nintendo is smart enough to use that as a biz strategy, by like, there has to be some intention behind this from on an insider.

Has Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Not quite the same but there was a working GBA emulator before the console released.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

In case this was asked in earnest, yes- it happens all the time. Nintendo releases have been notoriously leaky for about 3 years now

Happened with Tears of the Kingdom too iirc.

Skyward Sword too, going back to the Wii era. That was probably just someone at a games store dumping the disc when it was shipped to them before they could legally sell it though.

And Metroid dread. I finished that one the weekend before it came out. Then bought the collectors tin.

One of the gen 9 pokemon games. I think violet?

I was out with my wife's family coordinating with my brother by text trying to get it downloaded.
