Nintendo is an extremely secretive company but in recent weeks they’ve sprung some leaks and it isn’t the first time that it has happened. YouTuber Nintendo Prime says he has heard from his sources that Nintendo is spreading some fake information internally to discern who is actively sharing the information with people outside of the Kyoto-based company. It has been reported that they also deployed this method some years back . However, Nintendo Prime says that he’s not worried about NateTheHate’s recent information, meaning that he believes it is legitimate.
“I’ve now heard from 7(!) different people that Nintendo has officially employed the “spread some fake info internally” to try and discover who’s leaking information.
This isn’t the first time they have done this. It failed to catch any of NTH’s sources last time.
This might be in reaction to the latest leaks, or it might just be routine for them yearly. I suspect internal Nintendo leaks to go silent for a bit.
This is fairly standard practice.”
Happy that Nintendo are spreading fake info. That’ll be a kick in the nuts to leakers. Leakers ruined the switch 2 causing Nintendo to release it without a decent games lineup. F**K leakers
The game lineup was completely unaffected by the Switch 2 leaks. I get being frustrated by leaks, but don’t create baseless claims like that.
This is a pretty dumb take haha. Nintendo (internally) delayed the Switch 2 many times, and were in no rush to release it even after images of the actual console itself leaked – which incidentally were from none of the usual leakers but just factory workers who were manufacturing the thing.
They are putting so much faith in this Nate character. I don’t, simple as that.
That’s Genuis!!
that pretty cleaver if you ask me
Maybe a certain someone works for the company and spreading those leaks to people online. Many companies are always secretive with their unannounced projects. I’m glad this is fake information.
Many companies are always secretive with their unannounced projects. Glad this information is completely fake.
Interesting that he thinks Nate’s leaks aren’t affected by this, I wonder what his substantiation is for that. Ocarina of Time remake and new Star Fox game sound like exactly the kind of games they’d fake. Of course, I still remember Star Fox Grand Prix which many think was a fake leak, so the Star Fox franchise has history on this. Anyway, as usual, people get overly emotional about this stuff. Leaks are fun, many of the most prominent leakers do have genuine sources but their sources don’t always have perfect information, just enjoy the speculation but assume nothing is real until Nintendo have actually announced it.
Eh, about time they thought about doing this. Only took them years.
Oh great. Now when the “leakers” end up being wrong, they can just say they were leaked misinformation but everything else they’re leaking is totally legit guys.
And when the people who were spreading the leaked fake information get fired from Nintendo what are you gonna say?
Yeah, I wonder when that information will leak too.
You know this article is also covering a leak too, right? A leak about leaks.
It’s leaks all the way down.
Maybe the only fake info Nintendo is spreading is that there is fake info to make us disbelieve any leaks.
San Nintendo is doing all this so that they can have a “gotcha moment” with the leakers?
I mean, they do have it coming.
Nintendo prime himself spreads fake information
