minus-squarePastaguini [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoHas Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?
minus-squareFortifiedAttack [any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 year agoHappened with Tears of the Kingdom too iirc.
minus-squarewizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoSkyward 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.
