In 2023, Nintendo faced multiple leaks, including those for major titles like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, disrupting game launches.
Nintendo's battle against leaks led to significant measures, including reportedly canceling pre-orders at major retailers like Walmart to prevent early access to physical games.
The situation is worsened by the Switch’s emulation capabilities; it's easier to create ROMs for the Switch than for older consoles due to current-generation compatibility.
Despite Nintendo's aggressive tactics against ROM-hosting sites, the persistent leaks illustrate an ongoing challenge for the company in protecting its intellectual property.
