Now, as for how this leak happened – seems like some eager players got their hands on early copies, likely from stores breaking the street date. As a result, the game’s ROM ended up online, letting those with Nintendo Switch emulators on their PCs get an early peek. OatmealDrome even dished out some tech details, like the game running on the Unity Engine, the internal codename, and the helping hand from a specific developer. Their advice? Play it safe, maybe block or mute a few accounts to dodge those spoilers.
And here’s the kicker – this isn’t a one-time thing. Nintendo Switch games have been leaking like crazy this year, thanks to PC emulation and retailers getting a bit too trigger-happy on release dates. From Super Mario Bros. Wonder to Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4, leaks are becoming a bit of a headache for Nintendo fans. So, stay on your toes out there, gaming buddies!
