Super Mario Bros. Wonder, an upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive, has been leaked online ahead of its official release on October 20th. Reports indicate that the ROM file of the game is being distributed online, and some users have even obtained physical copies before the release date. As a result, spoilers about the game’s story and gameplay are circulating on various internet platforms, including streaming sites like Twitch. While this is not the first time a Switch game has been leaked before its launch, Nintendo is likely to take action against users who share unauthorized footage or violate the release date.
Similar situations have occurred in the past with other Nintendo Switch games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4. Users who stream or upload footage of unreleased Switch games without official permission may face permanent account bans on certain platforms. Nintendo is known for taking a strict stance against such leaks and spoilers. Additionally, Sega’s upcoming release, Sonic Superstars, has also reportedly leaked online over the weekend. It remains to be seen how Nintendo and Sega will respond to these leaks and whether additional measures will be taken to prevent future leaks.
Given the pattern of leaks and Nintendo’s zero-tolerance policy for unauthorized sharing of game content, it is crucial for fans to avoid certain parts of the internet to prevent spoilers until the official release date. Players who are eager to experience Super Mario Bros. Wonder should exercise caution and refrain from seeking out leaked gameplay or story details. Nintendo has yet to make an official statement regarding the leak, but it is likely that the company will take action to address the situation and protect the integrity of their game releases.
