Looks like Nintendo internal dev servers may have been hacked, multiple leaks appearing

[Atheerios]

So a weird situation has been developing over the last few days in certain Nintendo circles. First, screenshots of what appears to be an internal build of Flipnote Studio appeared. According to the person who first posted them on a private Discord, they were obtained from Nintendo servers.



According to another screenshot from Flipnote Studio, it was supposed to be revealed at E3, there is a comment dated June 10, 2020.

Could this be related to announcements that were planned for E3?​

Now, music tracks from Pokémon DLC #1, to be released in June have started leaking:





If this is true, it would not be the first time Nintendo internal servers got hacked and info leaked, as in 2016 a person hacked Nintendo servers and obtained info about Nintendo Switch before its release:

California man who hacked into Nintendo servers to steal video games and other proprietary information pleads guilty

Seattle – A 21-year-old Palmdale, California, man pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to federal crimes related to his computer hacking scheme and his possession of child pornography found on his digital devices, announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran.

I would not be surprised if more leaks appear in the following days...

 

[Bear]

Hope whoever is leaking this stuff lawyers up immediately because he's in for a ride.

 

[Lant_War]

Hope they find some F-Zero stuff there

 

[DGenerator]

Interesting to see the concession that these materials have been stolen via hacking yet the materials are still openly shared here.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Hackers really don't play when it comes to Nintendo.

Nintendo about to send Ninjas to ERA if the content is being shared here.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Quick, someone save a 'very important, do not forget.txt' file on the server and just type 'Remember: Port Eternal Darkness to Switch' in the notepad file.

 

[DarkSora]

Metroid prime trilogy HD time?

 

[Deleted member 2791]

And all they could find are two musics that are from the Pokémon Direct and some screenshots of Flipnote?

 

[DrArchon]

Man, some dudes about to get fucked up.

 

[EatChildren]

I can picture all the hungry Nintendo fans seeing this thread title and frantically clicking, frothing at the mouth, hoping for something the leak doesn't deliver.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

I'm intrigued, wonder what'll show up.

[Rosebud]

Wow that's terrible

Someone has the leaks so I can ignore them?

 

[Wulex]

[Anth0ny]

pikmin 4 confrimed

odyssey 2 confrimed

PAPER MARIO THREEEEE

 

[Ushojax]

Nintendo's army of legal ninjas have already been dispatched, whoever leaked this stuff will soon know the sweet release of death.

 

[Deleted member 23212]

Is this how the Mario rumours came about? The timing seems convenient.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

That person had better hidden really good.
Because they´re about to get fucking destroyed by the big N.

 

[offshore]

Oh boy.

You do not want to be this dude right now; Nintendo go nuclear over something trivial like soundtracks. God knows what they'll do here....

 

[TheGamingNewsGuy]

Maybe we will get a Smash Leak..hmmmmmmmmmm, That would feel like 2018 all over again

 

[Jonneh]

Easy way to get arrested

 

[808s & Villainy]

And all they could find are two musics that are from the Pokémon Direct and some screenshots of Flipnote?

Lol exactly. These "hacks" always reveal the most boring shit. Like you'd think someone with actual access would be searching "Zelda" "Mario" "Metroid", but nah, Flipnote Studio and some music that'll probably be in another Pokemon DLC centered Direct

Also that person is about to have their whole Youtube account blown off the face of the (digital) Earth

 

[jack_package_200]

Gimme those Mario remasters and a new Paper Mario

 

[blitzblake]

God at least leak something good

 

[Uncle at Nintendo]

Someone better be on a flight to Tahiti

 

[Gold Arsene]

Whoever did this is fucked hard.

(Smash DLC please.)

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

How wonderful :/ I wish we could live in a world where nothing leaked and surprises got to be surprises. I really hope nothing major leaks from this.

 

[V has come to]

Metroid leaks when

I have this feeling something Smash related is going to get leaked, just a hunch

 

[Deleted member 51691]

Imagine getting arrested and fined to bankruptcy for hacking Nintendo and all you managed to get was Flipnote and unreleased music.

 

[Kuro]

hope we get a glimpse at Metroid Prime 4. Been really impatient to see something.

There'll be a file just listing all 6 characters for FP2.

 

[koutoru]

uh oh.

 

[Butch]

Boring leaks so far

 

[Zombine]

Broken street date leaks I can understand. But hacking Nintendo for clout is extra lame...

 

[Loud Wrong]

Ctrl-F Tetris Attack

 

[Glio]

Probably someone who is teleworking has had an oversight.

And some hacker is going to ruin his life for five minutes of fame. It's pathetic.

I imagine the ninjas will get this guy before anything major leaks.

No amount of lawyers are going to protect you when you've already done something illegal.

 

[Nintenleo]

Hey, at least their sacrifice was worth it. All Nintendo fans couldn't wait to listen to the new Pokémon Dlc tracks.

 

[MadeULook]

Hope the dude is ready to go into hiding.

 

[AnonymousApple]

Imagine hacking Nintendo's servers to only find out about Flipnote Studio

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Is this a first for Nintendo?

 

[NateDrake]

Enjoy a visit from the Ninja.

You're right, I came in, found disappointment and had to wipe the froth from my lips in disgust with myself.

 

[Alienhated]

Hopefully something exciting gets leaked.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

I'm so desperate for gaming news during these times I'm down for any leaks lol.

Hoping they confirm those Mario rumors soon.
