Nintendo’s highly-anticipated game has been leaked online ahead of its official release date, but players can still enjoy the experience. The game was initially scheduled for a next Thursday launch on both the Nintendo eShop and retail stores; however, it became available to download early due to the leak.
The leak is a blow to Nintendo and Monolith Soft, who had kept some additional new story content under wraps. This is not an isolated incident, as recent games have also seen early releases online. Players can now enjoy the game’s improved visuals, including 4K resolution, but this may set a bad precedent for the industry.
A high-resolution image of the Japanese box art has been shared, showcasing the game’s mech and main characters. The official website has confirmed that the game will feature online co-op quests with up to four players and support for up to 32 indirect online players.
The leak has sparked discussion among gamers about the need for more effective measures to prevent piracy, such as a “denunciation” function for pirates like the one who shared the leaked content. Nintendo’s future gaming console will play a crucial role in addressing these issues.
