It seems this is gonna be a recurring problem on Switch moving forward.
I think that's why Sakurai wants to announce everyone in Smash in advance, games leaking are just too much of a risk in this day and age.
Only on older Switches. Any consoles being bought now can't be hacked AFAIK.

Well, with more than 20 million vulnerable Switch consoles, I don't think it will be that hard to find an older Switch.
Piracy has been around since videogames existed. They're nice and we still have them. Don't worry.
Probably ripped from the eShop if the pre-load has already gone up.

Awesome game. Been playing it for research. And is really fun
No. Preload has been Available to download for weeks, but you couldn't unlock and play it without the titlekey
This was a .xci which means it was a cart dump.
well you can blame the UAE for that. My friend had nearly every major release 2-3 weeks in advance because thats where he lived.
argos in the uk was bad for it too, i think it was halo 3 accidentally sold a month early
Oh man do you remember Halo ODST randomly leaking in a French store one month before release ?
Yeah this is nothing. Most switch games have been leaked 5+ days before release. Not really thread worthy IMO.
And this is why NOA has gotten so stupidly strict with their review copies that even sites like Nintendo World Report who prove their worth no longer get review copies from them, yet NOE still provides them. They can barely trust those who aren't in their ambassador program due to assholes who dump their review copies to the internet and screw over dozens of other reviewers in the process.
Its a physical dump. Either street date break or some reviewer dumped it again. For any one keeping track, it just released in Asia so that's the source of the dump: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/9l73ui/mario_party_is_released_in_asia/
The physical flaw was already fixed months ago. But ain't much you're going to do about nearly twenty million compromised systems out there.
Thanks, nVidia.

90% of the cases yes, likely someone with a friend at a selling point get em to early give him a copy and they release it
That being said, article overblow piracy on the system
Maybe that guy that "paid" $7000 lol.
Probably an eShop rip or a street date break.
No offense, but how about you stop signal boosting each and every tiny development in the "hacking" ( piracy enabling) scene. All you do is incentivise more and more people to pirate.
" Oh, it's that easy?" " I can get it for free and early?"
Revised, unhackable Switch revision is already out, actually.
Most people still under the impresion that is a Wii tier hack (is not) and that is wide spread or in the level that people can spoof emselves out of a ban or rip from the eShop, personally, let em, reallity check will prove em how wrong they are
A bunch of stuff is being posted that isn't relevant to 99% of the audience ...we had a thread that made it look like every second player in Splatoon 2 online is a cheater/hacker when it was just one lost soul sacrifing his account for 10 seconds of game.
I get that big development in that area are posted and brought up on Era...but not every small hacking/HB related event is a big deal.
I could be wrong but it's not the best look.
If Super Mario Party leaked a couple of weeks ago ....yeah this would be news worthy. But this ? All it does is tell you that the game is being pirated and that hackers don't care lol.
It's all about perception ...the way Homebrew Switch news gets posted here you would assume it's wide open and everyone has access to this, which isn't the case.
Thank goodness Nintendo is protecting their platform from hackers by disabling save data backups to SD cards
oh wait a second
oh wait a second
Took to long for someone to cry about Nintendo protecting his stuff
Btw. The entry point was an Nvidia hardware flaw, Nintendo locking out SD Card have work wonders so far
I feel very protected that I have to pay money to back up my saves in any way, yes
I am abundantly aware how the Switch has been hacked, just as I am abundantly aware that it will almost certainly be hacked in the future regardless of hardware fixes.
But sure I'm crying alrighty then
You tell me. You're the one telling people they're crying and responding to criticism of your stance with BroPosts
You're free to go on doing whatever this is that you're doing, and I'll continue to have a legitimate complaint about the lack of free, reliable save backups which seems to be a standard as far as I'm concerned. You don't have to Bro people just because Nintendo is restricting SD save backups as an inelegant solution to combat hacking.
eh, there's a huge difference between getting leaks of a game still in development and a game that has been already manufactured.
They did, but they cant access online, so is their little walled garden/ leppers island. So is not a major hidrance for the average joe
You can't decrypt a pre-load. Nintendo has to send the key for the game to unlock, so this is not possible. The obvious answer is its a simple street break/Asia dump since the game is out in part of the world already.
No offense, but this isn't something for you to worry about. This is Nintendos problem, and they seem to be doing ok financially. They also seem to be on top of the hacking problems, thus far.
You just accused him of a crime and asked him to stop committing said crime then prefaced it with "no offense".
If any of those hacked Switches go online it will be banned for lifetime probably all accounts bounded to Switch too, at least the acount used to be online.
