There were about 30 games featured on Nintendo Direct yesterday in total, including popular third-party, new indie game releases and even some new and remastered releases by Nintendo, but due to a leak on Reddit, about half of them (or their titles, at least) were already touring online ahead of time.
A well-known leaker called PracticalBrush12 shared a list of titles just hours before the presentation began. The accuracy of the show – especially when it comes to new games like Mario Golf: Super Rush, which was not revealed at all before Direct – suggests that the Reddit user certainly has internal knowledge when it comes to Nintendo presentations.
In a post tagged with spoiler distributed just after 20:00 GMT on February 17, PracticalBrush12 wrote:
“Just a list, here’s a catch: Triangle Project Strategy, NeonWhite, SaGa Frontier, World’s End Club, Fall Guys, Legend of Mana, Stubbs, No More Heroes 3, Mario Golf, Apex Legends, Ghosts and Goblins Resurrected, Tales from Borderlands, Ninja Gaiden, Miitopia, Samurai Warriors 5 … Oh and I forgot about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD “
As we now know, all of these titles did appear in Live, along with a few others not listed here, such as the show’s grand finale, Splatoon 3.
We’re sure Nintendo won’t be thrilled to see the list go down in time, and we’re sure most fans wouldn’t want a direct pampering either, but there’s no doubt there’s a demand from some to see leaks. like these at the first opportunity.
Either way, it looks like Nintendo has a problem on its hands.
