It's officially Golden Week in Japan with no Star Fox Switch 2 announcement, meaning Nate the Hate lied about it being announced in April. This likely means all his other Nintendo predictions such as Ocarina of Time remake are fake too.Why did he lie?
>>737824619>youtuber lied and overspeculated about rumoursNo no no this cant be happening fuuucck
How do people still believe “insiders”? They always get exposed as fake.
>>737824828Nintendo lied to him on purpose to make him look bad :(
Can't they just drop it on Nintendo Today still?
>>737825512Nintendo Today only updates for new game announcements/trailers at around 9am eastern time.
There’s still no June game, which is suspicious. They very rarely miss months that aren’t January and August. I don't know why they’d date their July games before their June one if it were something already announced. He may still be wrong, and it’d be funny if it happened with Star Fox again, but I think he’ll probably end up being right
>>737825901>tfw the june game is planet robobot
>>737825901>There’s still no June game, which is suspicious. They very rarely miss months that aren’t January and August.They have two games coming out in July, maybe that's why.
>>737825901June game is likely either Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave or a smaller-scale release like a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of an already-existing game.There is literally zero evidence to suggest Nintendo is going to announce the first all-new Star Fox game in 10 years via a random Nintendo Today post and give it only a 1 month marketing cycle. That would be retarded. Nate lied to you.
Reminds me of the Smash leaks when people gave Vergeben (or whatever his fucking name was) all sorts of shit for predicting Steve but being like a year too soon. It’s entirely possible a leaker can be correct but just not at the right time.Though fuck them anyway. They do it for the clout, so they deserve the backlash.
>>737826021lol, “I wish for the rumored game from Nate the Hate to be real!”>>737826080It’s certainly possible. And a remake or switch 2 version makes more sense to spring up out of nowhere and fill that gap. The Star Fox cross promotion with the movie does seem too perfect though>>737826154Why would they promote Splatoon Raiders before Fortune’s Weave? The chances of it being that seem less likely than Star Fox. The Mario movie works as better marketing for a game than a single trailer in a direct that FE has had up to now
>>737826603Forgot my image for the first reply
>>737826186>Nate gets word of Star Fox in the Mario movie>Decides to predict a Star Fox game thinking it'll be an easy guess>Makes up some additional bullshit about how it's going to release immediately as a tie-in with the movie>It doesn't happen>2027 or later: An unrelated Star Fox game releases>"Look! LOOK! I was right all along!!!"Nobody is saying a Star Fox game is impossible. It's more likely than not that Nintendo will make a new one at some point. But Nate's rambling about it coming out in June and having a 1-month marketing cycle was obvious bullshit.Most charitable take: He might've gotten fed false info from his source via Nintendo to expose leakers, or the info he has is outdated and the game is significantly delayed.
>>737825901I’m starting to believe there won’t be a June game because they consider Rebirth enough for thatIt would be the same as January, there wasn’t a game there and no S2 edition of New Horizons doesn’t countBut if it does maybe they shadow drop a S2 edition or something like Pikmin 4, but I believe they will use Rebirth as the June game
Is thursday 100% off the table?
>>737826848>It would be the same as January, there wasn’t a game there and no S2 edition of New Horizons doesn’t countNS2 Editions do count. April's 1st party Switch 2 game was the NS2E of Mario Wonder.
>>737824619Because it was fake info to draw out leakers
>>737826848Could be, but January isn’t really a good sample to draw from. It’s regularly a lull for Nintendo, and the entire entertainment industry
>>737826952Yes. Japanese companies don't announce anything during Golden Week.
>>737824619There's still 2 days left in April.Remember when you were spamming that he lied about Switch 2 reveal only to get BTFO? I remember. It happens every fucking time. At least wait until May 1st.
>>737827298Golden Week already started yesterday, so you could've said the same thing to people expecting the announcement today.If it's a scheduled post there doesn't need to be anyone in the office.
>>737826186IIRC Vergeben never said Steve, he just said there'd be Minecraft content (like a stage or AT) at launch.It's unlikely he knew about Steve because that was pack 2, which was years away and he had no DLC info otherwise. The whole thing seems like it was just a coincidence.
>>737827360>>737827461There will be no announcement of a Star Fox game for Switch 2 in April, nor any other month in 2026.There will be no announcement of an Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2 in 2026.The only thing Nate predicted which I think will end up being true is Pikmin 4 Switch 2 Edition, but anybody could have guessed that one.Accept that you got conned by a grifting Jewtuber who has literally NEVER had an accurate leak about first-party Nintendo games. All you can trust him on is third-party ports.
>>737827601Leakerfags always do this. Predict something specific and then pretend it was only a general prediction when it plays out completely differently.Like how>The whole Metroid Prime Trilogy is being remade for Nintendo Switch as one package!magically turned into>Uhhh, ackchually, they WERE remaking the whole trilogy but 2 and 3 got cancelled because Prime 4 was taking up too much development time, so they could only finish and release 1!Endless cope.If a random unrelated Star Fox game releases in 2028 expect Nate to rear his head and explain how he was ackchually right and that the 2026 game was merely "delayed" due to "development troubles" or that it was "reworked".
>>737827627>no OoT remakeGod I hope so. Nostalgia sloppers like MVG deserve to be disappointed. I desperately hope the Super Metroid remake isn’t real either, but that would at least be transformative enough to be enjoyable, even if a waste of effort
>>737827998Neither are real, they are obvious nostalgiabait bullshit intended to drive clicks.The OOT Remake rumor is literally sourced from Anon posts and Reddit threads 2-3 years ago of people saying they wished Nintendo would remake it for Switch 2.The next 3D Zelda will be the mainline title that will release 2028 or later, and the next 2D Metroid will be a new title that progresses the story like Dread. Not a leak, just obvious observation of what is blatantly going to be true.
>>737827998The OoT remake is real because Eji Aonuma has been making vague statements when directly asked about it.When he laughs and says "No comment!" then something is happening.
>>737828214I think you’re most likely correct, but I could see internal team expansion leading to a remake to train up the new staff while coinciding with a brand push from the movie
>>737828425There's no way an OOT Remake would be being developed by the main 3D Zelda team, even those who are pushing the OOTR rumors aren't foolish enough to think that.The big speculation being pushed by Remakefags is that Monolith Soft are developing OOTR under the leaked codename "Legacy", which is just laughable. As if they would waste 4 years remaking an old game that they had nothing to do with, rather than making Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or a new IP.
>>737824619Because Nate is a Nortubel fan
>>737824619>"I-it was Nintendo who changed their plans"Why are leakers like this?
>>737828534>The big speculation being pushed by Remakefags is that Monolith Soft are developing OOTR under the leaked codename "Legacy", which is just laughable. As if they would waste 4 years remaking an old game that they had nothing to do with, rather than making Xenoblade Chronicles 4 or a new IP.Monolith just updated their website about their increased involvement with the Legend of Zelda. They are certainly doing something for the 40th anniversary.
>>737828934If you think Monolith Soft would spend 4+ years making an intensive remake of a 1990s Zelda game, meaning they would not be able to release a new Xeno game until the 2030s at the earliest, you are legitimately retarded. At the absolute most, Monolith would collaborate on such a project just as they did with BOTW and TOTK, but not be the lead devs. But that's assuming OOTR is even a project to begin with.
>>737828534I wasn’t sayingnit would be the main team, I was saying it would be something for new staff to cut their teeth on along with some support studio, while the main team works on a new game
>>737829101Monolith is definitely working on something Zelda, could be the OoT remake or it could be something different set within Zelda's universe.
>>737824619>>737827298There was a whole 37 minutes long Mario Kart 8 Direct during Golden Week in 2014https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ
>>737829459>201412 years ago. A completely different era. Irrelevant.
>>737827601>>737827969Vergeben called all characters from Smash 4 returning with Ice Climbers, Snake, Pokemon Trainer, along with Ridley, Simon, Isabelle, Incineroar, and Ken, and stayed adamant on Incineroar and Ken when 90% of people were dickriding the grinch leak. Also called Banjo, a Dragon Quest rep, Terry, and Steve as DLC characters once DLC started. He without a doubt had at least one valid source, though it would run to shit by fighters pass 2, when the only prediction he put out was that Master Chief was gonna be announced for spot 5, which ended up being Kazuya. After that he said he had no clue what was gonna happen. Sakurai and the Minecraft devs said Minecraft in Smash was in talks since Smash 4. His source probably heard about it from the beginning of Ultimate and they assumed it'd be in game. These leaks aren't glamorous, they're just games of telephone with the rare, accurate leaks coming from shorter games of telephone.As for Nate, I would love for him to be wrong and his source to have gone to shit. He no doubt has had valid sources in the past, but these leakers can eat shit, especially this guy for making a premium podcast where he just unceremoniously drops shit
>>737829402Gonna be hilarious when Xenoblade 4 gets announced at the next Direct and OOT Remake does not.
Maybe the next Nintendo Direct is in early or mid-May.
>>737831452fuck off pedo
>>737824619Starfoxbros... it's over
>>737830383> As for Nate, I would love for him to be wrong and his source to have gone to shit. That would be based. He think himself as someone important, post constantly on retardEra and have his own channel where he bullshits non-stop.People are quick to forget all his misses. Where is Planet Robobot? Remember the Star Fox race game?Also, it would impact people that have literal career build around Nintendo speculations. Without leakers the only thing they can post is literally hopes and dreams.
>>737833000>People are quick to forget all his misses. Where is Planet Robobot?Don't forget the FE4 remake he spent like 5 years hyping up.
I mean he only reported on Star Fox literally the instant after Fox's poster for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie was revealed. How did nobody see that it was bullshit on the timing alone?
>>737831452The next Nintendo Direct has been "maybe next month" for the past 4 months.
>>737835020And May historically isn't a good month to bet on for general Directs, so unless they decide to change that for some reason, that'll be effectively 9 months at least that they'll have gone without revealing new first-party games. For a system that released 10 months ago. I really don't understand how people don't get how bad that is.
>>737834886On that, the episode was recorded before that, and a comment backing him up was further before the episode was recorded. That's why people didn't rule it out.
>>737835170>>737835020do you people ever get tired of wrongly predicting "nintendo is le doomed" every 5 minutes??
>>737835440About as tired as you get of running to their defense.
>>737835551in the end "nintendo defenders" as you call them are always right, and (You) are always wrong
>>737835170They have games scheduled up to July so it's not really a problem right now.Everyone is just kind of wondering what their holiday title going up against GTA6 is, since it turned out to not be Pokemon.
>>737835170>new exclusives releasing every month, enough to get through august>”you don’t get it, it’s horrible, no new announcements!!”it’s gonna be fine, you’ll get more ads soon enough, numbnuts
I think it'd be funny if this was just another instance of Nintendo using a fake Star Fox game as "bait" to catch which of their employees was talking to leakers.
>>737835651>new exclusives releasing every monthThe problem is that they need to reveal games people actually care about.
>>737835681The Star Fox fandom will never forgive them if they pull this a 2nd time
>>737835964>entire internet works itself up into a frenzy over shit they made up in their head with no real concrete information>HOW COULD NINTENDO DO THIS TO USI ain't forgot when you retards convinced yourselves Wayforward was going to make a Wario Land
>>737835915>pokopia and tomodachi selling like crazy>console selling faster than any in historylmao
>>737836083If Nintendo deliberately spread false rumours of a Star Fox game two times in a row then yeah the fanbase has every right to be super mad. It comes across as them deliberately trolling their customers
>>737824619>whybecause tendie manchildren love giving attention to this kind of retard
>>737835681>>737835964>>737836164>having a list of fake games people actually want with the express anticipation of them getting out into the public and getting people's hopes upat least the idea of SF Grand Prix as a leakerbait game made sense, nobody was asking for a Star Fox racing spinoff, but doing that with a mainline Star Fox game (right after Fox came back into the limelight) and Ocarina of Time remake (one of their most beloved games of all time) is incredibly tonedeaf. But I still think this is just a narrative made by "leakers" to maintain legitimacy of having SOME industry connection while admitting their claims were bullshit (a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too situation).>>737836093>people totally want Rhythm Heaven and a Yoshi game where you can't loselmao
>>737836215Core Nintendo fans were begging for a Rhythm Heaven revival for years, yeah. Especially on /v/Yoshi looks like a weird game but it previewed well desuAlso why aren't you acknowledging Splatoon Raiders and FE Fortune's Weave which are by far the two most hyped of the yet-to-be-released Nintendo games?
>>737836215>Oh no, not a couple 3 million sellers in a as many months! Surely this will irreparably tank their sales before their 10 million+ seller comes out a couple weeks later!what makes you so desperate to delude yourself like this over and over again
>>737829772Golden Week and entire Japan going on holidays during that time have been a thing for the past 80 years. Nothing has changed between 2014 and today.
>>737836523Nintendo-dooming is a full-time job. These people were still trying to claim the Switch 1 would fail as late as 2022 when they were claiming Steam Deck made it obsolete. Then they turned to Switch 2 dooming ever since
>>737835681>>737835964>>737836164>>737836215Nintendo never spread fake leaks. Star Fox Grand Prix was made up entirely by some jewtuber.
>>737828408Statement*
>>737836523>RH>3 million sellerOkay anon let's not get carried away
>>737836462Nta but>Core Nintendo fans were begging for a Rhythm Heaven revival for yearsThey were wanting, but everyone figured it wouldn’t happen since tsunku had throat cancer. It was about as unrealistic of an ask as more earthbound>Yoshi looks like a weird game but it previewed wellA game where you can’t lose doing well with game journo’s who suck at video games? Say it ain’t so!
>>737836654Golden week does vary a few days depending the calendar or something, but not by a lotWe would need to see if it was actually GW at that time
>>737836819Wrong
>>737836924I have no idea how good any of the data is, but what I can find states that the DS game sold 3 million
>>737836979It was. From April 26th to May 6th
>>737824619Nate is now in Zippo territory.Won't be listening to him again.
>>737837075You are.
>>737837219Will you slit your wrists if it gets announced tomorrow?
>>737826154>or a smaller-scale release like a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of an already-existing game.Might be Xenoblade 2, it's basically their worst kept secret right now
If Nate's "leak" about Star Fox was recorded before the movie poster was revealed, then there's a chance his source got his wires crossed (or just made shit up) based on Fox's movie appearance lol
>>737836083>>entire internet works itself up into a frenzy over shit they made up in their head with no real concrete information>>HOW COULD NINTENDO DO THIS TO USThis behavior from youtubers in particular is why directs are being phased out. It's literally the kind of problem directs were supposed to solve and it's clearly not working any more.
>>737837351Is there any substance to this besides “I want it”?
>>737837219>AI slop
>>737837541The problem exists again because they now adamantly refuse to deploy their known problem solver for it.
>>737835681What's even funnier is people think they DON'T do stuff like this. In a corporation, you have to be careful of potential infiltrators or moles leaking internal information, documents, etc. Remember the 2014 leak of Smash Four? You think Nintendo wants a repeat of that? I think they intentionally put bogus information out there, some guy who knows a guy who knows a guy gets the scoop and starts posting it online, and from there, they find out who the rat is. Not to say it's perfect, but it works, though one guy did leak Piranha Plant two months before it was shown. Remember the Cacomallow leak? That had to be have been Nintendo since no one came out and claimed it from what I know. No one came out and claimed the Grinch leak either, though that one might have actual legal ramifications so no patreonbux for that guy.
>>737836215>>people totally want Rhythm Heaven/v/ does not know that RH will sell gangbusters in nippon land.
>>737837779>AI slop sad Mario>”NINTENDO’S WORST SWITCH PRESS?!”
>>737837351It’s gonna be Pikmin 4, that’s already rated
>>737837843>No one came out and claimed the Grinch leak eitherMariotehplumber did (the same sperg who bought up tons of Rosalina Amiibo since he hated her and didn't want other people to have Amiibo of her). He speaks French, is autistically vindictive, and clearly has time and money to burn on petty spite, so it's not farfetched.
>>737837645The English voice actor for XC2 KOS-MOS updated a page that only she can edit and included a Xenoblade release for 2026 that she worked on and the role was also listed as KOS-MOS. I guess it could be Xenoblade 4 if Takahashi really goes all in on connecting Xenosaga but 2 DE or a Switch 2 Edition are more likely I'd say. It's not the first time a Xenoblade release has been leaked by a voice actor too.
>>737824619What I don't understand is that the internet worked out that Nate's source for Direct dates was from Square Enix a long time ago, how would he know the entirety of Nintendo's releases for the rest of the year?
>>737824619Nintendo is not in enough trouble to break the OoT remake glass. Look how desperate Marvel is with their Avengers marketing. That's how bad Nintendo needs to be to consider touching such a legendary game.
>>737836962>It was about as unrealistic of an ask as more earthboundOnly for people that didn't really look for Rhythm Heaven news at all. People who did knew Tsunku recovered from the throat cancer and he also learned how to speak again. He also openly said on twitter a few years ago that he wanted to make a new Rhythm Heaven.
>>737838086That could be the rumored Xenoblade Warriors
>>737836462>wakanda emblem>hypedI don't think you understand Fire Emblem fans.
>>737837541>people want to see new video games and JiminyGlock19 claimed on Video Game Forum #73171 that his uncle works at Nintendo and saw them working on a game called Star Fox: Red Rocketeer, so I guess we have to stop revealing new games nowDo you know how christfucking retarded you sound, anon
>>737838068I won't argue against it.But it'll be interesting to see all the fake leaks done with AI, the storm is about to happen yet again.
>>737838520We already had Super Mario Titans recently, and a very piddly attempt at a Smash leak last year
>>737838520AI Pokemon and Smash leaks are going to be hilarious thoughbeit.
>>737838448It’s shipper slop for fujoshits. They have their alucard clone, it’ll do fine
>>737838315There's no credibility to a Xenoblade Warriors besides an interview from almost 10 years ago where someone asked a Warriors producer if he'd like to do a Xenoblade, Ys or Nights of Azure (kek) game and he just said "yeah sure, they'd fit"
Is it possible for an NSO announcement to happen this week?
>>737838638I know about those two, but you'll have actual clean footage this time and some dope on YouTube who'll fall for it.
>>737838068>Mariotehplumber didi need source on that
>>737838863We already had one this month.
>>737837843>No one came out and claimed the Grinch leak eitherThat's because smashfags doxxed him in an attempt to get a clearer picture and got him fired. Supposedly he used office supplies to make his leak and his employer wasn't happy.
Ocarina remake is happening. Star fox is not. Take with a grain of salt. But this is what's planned.
>>737838736There's already a twitter account that does nothing but make ai slop Wind/Wave leaks.
>>737838758ha I doubt those retarded femroids would play shipping with jamal and tyrone.
>>737838520>the storm is about to happen yet again.I feel like the exact opposite will happen. Everyone will be quick to assume any image leak is AI so nothing will gain traction.All we'll have are text leaks.
>>737839165There’s no way Nintendo is just doing NES games this month. I thought we typically get two updates.
>>737838448Fire Emblem fans already got Engage, this one is for 3HRT fans
>>737837219'fraid so
>>737835964Nintendo never promised anything clown
>>737839769Shut up you fucking shill
>>737824619Nintendo obviously changed their reveal plans to discredit Nate so you won't believe his future leaks, duh. Don't hate the Nate!
Nate confirmed fraud
>>737839374>ignores the pretty boy edgelord fembait because it doesn't fit his narrativelol
Honestly, June not having a game is what makes me believe.
>>737839947ok retard
>>737839814>HOW COULD NINTENDO DO THIS TO US>what did they do?>REFUSE TO ANNOUNCE A MADE-UP GAME BY ATTENTION WHORING LEAKERS REEEEE
>>737840013Yeah, there has to be something releasing in June. Even if it’s a random digital-only title that gets announced in May.
>>737826848S2 editions count to Nintendo, unfortunately.
>>737839450Super Mario Sunshine for GameCube NSO coming later tonight.
>>737840074>impotent capitulationSAD!
>>737840204I could see it. Gives the Japanese something to play during Golden Week.
>>737840219not sad as you defending wakanda emblem
>>737840013>>737840179Fire Emblem is the June game
>>737839947My sister loves this guy already kek.
>>737824619It's still April. Never give up, trust your instincts.
>>737840408They are not giving FE only a month.
>>737840408More like September or August.
>>737840465They will. Donkey Kong only had 3 months of marketing and that was a much bigger game. Nintendo can easily drop a long overview trailer and/or do an in-depth Fire Emblem Direct to market the game.
Maybe they aren't shilling brown emblem because its delayed or its a trainwreck like Nutroid prime 4
>>737840524And then when it flops they can cry racism instead of the lack of marketing and $70 pricetag.
>>737840559>>737840609Somebody's seething.
>>737840358>knowing something will appeal to a demographic>”defending it”Whoa, an honest to goodness retard in the wild!!
>>737824619>history repeats
>>737840691If you think that dollar store alucard will carry that shitty game I don't know what to tell you, btw people were more hyped for fates and look how it ended up currently.
>>737840791>”it won’t appeal to this group!”>is demonstrably already appealing to them>*analogizes Fates and Fortune’s Weave* >Fates slightly outsold Awakeninglol, I am calling you stupid, stupid. FE is slop for this audience now, and they’ll eat it up

>>737841063>FE is slop for this audience now, and they’ll eat it upwow even even a broken clock is right twice a day
>>737840524That can only happen with a franchise like Star fox, not with something huge and already announced.
>>737841353It’s what I've been saying the entire time, and you tried to refute >>737839374Goldfish brained retard lmao
>>737841063Fates is the second best selling FE game tho
>>737841602Exactly, the moron I was replying to had lost the plot of what he was arguing
Nintendo fans get farmed for engagement by 'leakers' like always. You'll be receiving your Fell For It Again awards in the mail.
>>737835681Do you have the power?
Hate to sound like a Nate simp, but it is possible that plans changed.Maybe they decided to postpone the announcement until after Golden Week?Maybe they will announce the game during Golden Week anyways? They did a Mario Kart 8 Direct during Golden Week in 2014.Maybe the new Star Fox game got delayed out of June to later this year? So no need to reveal it in April.I do not think Nate "lied" just that he had information which became outdated.I do believe there is a Star Fox game in the works regardless of Nate's claims.
>>737824828he actually had a pretty good track record for being right
>>737842376Fox will return in the new illumination movie: The Grinch 2.
Didn't the movie line up just get leaked?
>>737840784>Someone makes the most obvious fake of all timePeople fall for it.I remember the Switch prototype leaks, they were hilarious.
Why are specifically Nintendo fans so autistic about Insiders? You don't see these kinds of threads for any other platform.
>>737842581That's because Nintendo makes games while Sony, Valve, and Microsoft, GoG, and EGS don't make games.
>>737842581Tbf others company have nothing to leak and I’m not trying to shitpost>xbox literally has nothing>Sony tells you everything 6 years before>Nintendo holds revealing their games as much as they can (only outliers are BOTW, Prime 4 and Bayo3)So if you want to leak something in the gaming industry you have to try with Nintendo
>>737842696You get insiders leaking PS6 and PS titles on PC, tho.
>>737842581Lmao have you seen the state of other platforms’ IPs? Not really much fervor to hear about “[X] franchise’s live service got canned” for the hundredth time
>>737828601
>>737841602>>737841806>sales equals qualitydamn nindians are low IQ morons
>>737842901Lol no one was discussing quality, retard >>737840691
>>737842696>SonyPlenty of Bloodborne on PC, PS6, and misc 'Old game getting a new installment' leaks throughout the years>MSI'm think I remember Helix was actually being speculated on as a leak before it was formally announced.>ValveLeaks and 'leaks' from them get plenty of attention lol. Just look at how deeply people datamine for any information about their projects.>GoG and EGSFair, but they're really just storefronts. Nothing really to get excited for if there even was a leak.
Starfox Adventures on GameCube NSO later tonight.Source: dude trust me
>>737843742If only.
>>737824619You were told multiple times that nate the hate only get direct dates right. You were a fool to believe anything else that comes out of the nigga's mouth.
>>737824619resetera trannies are crying at this. their hero nate was btfo
>>737824619where is his game rrrrreeeeeeeeee
>>737824619he probably did lie, but Nintendo has been known to change plans in response to leaks in the past.
>>737842581because nintendo isn't fond of fan interaction. they're as hermetic as a vacuum chamber and very anal about leaks
>>737844959>Nintendo has been known to change plans in response to leaks in the past.Got any specific examples?
>>737844959>Nintendo has been known to change plans in response to leaks in the past.Name a time this happened.
>>737845105>>737845994with that star fox netflix thing.
>>737846191They aren't going to cancel a finished game just because it got leaked early.
>>737846191That was because the leaks came from Netflix themselves and Nintendo could no longer trust them as a business partner.There's no precedent for them cancelling or delaying a game purely because it leaked. Hell, practically the entire alpha of Pokemon Winds and Waves leaked 2 years before announcement and it didn't seem to change any plans.
>>737846371changing plans =/= not finishing a game
>>737846567There's also the fact that some games are finished up to a year ago, and are just sitting in Nintendo's vault.
