With just a week until its official release, another highly anticipated Nintendo Switch exclusive has been leaked online. Super Mario Bros. Wonder, set to launch on October 20th, has had its ROM file distributed online, sparking concerns of spoilers for gamers eagerly awaiting its release.
The leak comes on the heels of the confirmation of the voice actor for the new Mario, which had excited fans even more. Reports suggest that the game is also being streamed on platforms like Twitch, with some users claiming to have acquired physical copies of the game ahead of time.
For those who are looking forward to experiencing the story and gameplay firsthand, it might be wise to steer clear of certain parts of the internet to avoid spoilers until the official release date.
This isn’t the first time such leaks have happened with Nintendo Switch games. In 2023, titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4 faced similar situations, as well as other first-party releases in previous years.
Nintendo takes leaks and early gameplay uploads very seriously. Users who stream or upload footage of games that haven’t officially launched risk permanent account bans on certain platforms if they haven’t obtained official permission. Nintendo, too, is unlikely to be pleased with such unauthorized leaks.
In addition to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it seems that Sega’s upcoming release Sonic Superstars has also suffered a leak this weekend.
As of now, there have been no further developments or updates on the situation. For more information, stay tuned for our coverage.
