Some asshole that got a review copy of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowers's Minions thought it'd be a good ideal to leak the game online. Now, in response NOA is clamping down HARD on review copies...

Seriously, what does one gain from leaking a game online? If you're going be an asshole and leak a game, why would you be stupid enough to leak a Nintendo game? Nintendo's assistant ninjas, will be on your ass like white on rice. Remember that guy who leaked New Super Mario Bros. Wii before it came out? Anyway, it's nice to see that they were able to trackback to the person who leaked the game. Though, it makes me wonder if it was a YouTuber who leaked the game? I've seen quite a few YTers totally ignore Nintendo's embargo on games and just do a full lets play of a game when they get it, just to get all those views/revenue...Plus, a YTer most likely has less to lose if anything happens. It sux that most likely, we won't see most Nintendo reviews until after the game launches from now on. I assume big sites like IGN, GameSopt, etc. will still get review copies on time, but with a VERY watchful eye from NOA.
