Not going to link it here because I'm not certain on the rules regarding something like this, but if anyone can help take this stream down. He also has a link to the NSP file for Smash in the description which is illegal. Currently sitting at 3k viewers and quite easy to find if you search.

Yup. The ROM has sadly leaked online. Sad but a problem that will keep happening on Switch.

Here's a stream that doesn't have any link to a pirate download:

Man, 2 weeks wait through this is such a pain and kind of weird. Wouldn't be as annoying with a few days to go.

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't somehow gotten the stream shut down already. Piracy is bad enough but helping others steal a product en masse is terrible. People worked hard to make this.

This is definitely not helping in Nintendo's crusade against rom sites. What a idiot.

Boo, but I would like to know how many spirits are in the game and what they are.
The datamining thread probably has the list of spirits for you.

E: sorry, early post

Does Twitch ban people for streaming 2 weeks early? Or would they just ban based on the illegal links?

Why does this happen to Nintendo all the time?
Not really a Nintendo thing, it's just most of their games are highly anticipated. Smash is no exception so it's not surprising to see a leaked copy surface before release. But 2 weeks is absolutely crazy.

Nintendo should release it early on eShop at this point. Don't make the people wait.
That would never happen, marketing is planned and in sync with the release date, not only that and a million other factors such as doing so would embolden pirates to employ such tactics in the future to get Nintendo to release games early but it'd also piss off every single store on the entire planet.

So, this is gonna end with legal action against the person who ripped the rom if they can find him right?

Yeah, I get Nintendo's games are always surrounded of a big hype and expectation but, correct me if I'm wrong, I didnt see anyone playing RDR2 two weeks before release.

*checks in*

Yeah, that's Smash.

It's not like this is going to ruin the story or anything. People play Smash because it's fun to play. So, like, so what.

The game is done and people already have it and are playing it early?

Nintendo are missing a trick, they should be charging for early access

I don't understand why we, the consumers, should care whether or not this big-budget game likely to sell millions of units gets pirated.
