[alex61194]

I make this thread for sharing info about an eventual leak cause I found nothing

Found something on reddit:

The poster just said that someone in Switzerland has it and it's not a review copy.

It'll leak when it leaks. Until that happens, nothing should be believed.

Pokemon Sword, another AAA title from Nintendo, didn't leak as an XCI until about four days before its release date. That would put a comparable leak date for Animal Crossing at or around Monday, March 16.

I already bought the digital version but I would like to play it early

You can't because you won't get the decryption key or whatever from Nintendo before the game releases

Yes, you are correct. However, a lot has changed since then with regard to how Nintendo treats review copies. A more recent example of a leak is likely to be more accurate.

This could change it all

It could, but it's unlikely to. I'd like to be proven wrong.

Be careful not to download a fake copy and brick your switch, always wait for the file to be deemed "safe" by multiple people if possible.

You guys think it'll be possible to play local wireless with friends on a banned N-Switch?

Yes

 

[RinkuSonic41]

Sorry if off-topic, but anybody knows how to add friends on a banned switch?

May be a fake screenshot, which isn't all that hard to do technically. Pick some existing gameplay footage + edit some parts in/out + open it in image viewer on modded Switch = free Reddit karma. So, I'll recommend taking it with a grain of salt until (and if) the game actually gets leaked or at least receive more actual non-official footage.

lots of people already have the game apparently, also the screenshots say the date of yesterday. And i don't think the image is edited from any commercial or trailer.

If they did, then youtube and subreddits would be flooded by gameplay videos already. Date can be easily edited, and the fact that it's a single photo (rather than the vid or something like that) is a major red flag in itself.
