Pokémon Legends Arceus has leaked online 9 days prior to the January 28th release date.

We have received reports of an XCI around 7.4GB in size appearing in certain places online. Initial testing appears the title does not boot on the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator.

Further details to follow.

Please remember that it is strictly against GBAtemp terms and rules to link to, or to suggest places where you can obtain copyrighted material such as game ROMs etc.

Here's my initial findings (not gonna try emulating anymore and just play on the Switch itself for now).

Tried in Ryujinx at full screen, crashed when entering name.

Tried in Yuzu, black screen after entering name.

Tried in Ryujinx windowed mode, entered name, game boots but doesn't load any characters or Pokemon. Saved game. Copied save to Yuzu.

Game boots into the save on Yuzu and you can see your character and Pokemon. Yuzu crashes when trying to throw a Pokeball.

Ryujinx with vsync off unlocks the framerate but speeds the game up. Pressing left on the d pad goes across twice in a menu, and the cutscenes seem sped up. Yuzu with vsync off still ran at 30fps.

started to play now and... shit... they still not invented the super advanced voice acting technology on Lazy Freak lands. Game still is dialogue box based...
Because Pokemon still makes the most money out of merchandising, not games or anime. These games will always be half-assed , just enough to keep you going but never enough to be a true masterpiece. They don't need to, money comes from different branches.

Since it's this game, don't really care...just tell me if I should bother or not, recent Pokemon games have been mediocre, not counting the spinoff New Snap. lol

There's gotta be a way to make it a little harder to crack. Then again, Nintendo.
People like us just think this, but tbh not a lot of people have CFW on their switch. Nintendo's main audience is kids from the smartphone generation, who barely know how to use a computer.

Even with the CFW, they have several mitigations to minimize the loss: updating is a really tedious task, and they also block pirates from playing online. These 2 things deter a ton of people from using CFW.

3DS was a whole other issue: Freeshop using their own servers and nearly no bans and permanent CFW even with updates. Kids just had to get their console "modded" once from someone, and they'd be good. Freeshop and whatever else they wanted was there with no worries.

yeah if their paid P2P was worth using, Sony does better than that

It seems to freeze at random moments on ryujinx
It first froze on the screen explaining autosave
I restarted
Then it froze on Game freak logo
Restarted
Froze at the beginning
Froze at the language selection
Now it froze during the intro with the bright light
Totally random freeze with ryujinx :'(

check the reddit, switch pirates or something. There was a guy there sharing a save file after the crashing points. I did nor grabbed myself because I'm playing on console, but you should give it a try.

i'm playing it and yet it's growing on me despite people calling it hot garbage
Because all those who cry didn't play the games since the first came out and are not fed up with walking from gym to gym over and over. This game finally brings some fresh wind to the franchise, of course the little kids will call it garbage, like with every other game that gets released nowadays.
"boohoo the graphics are bad, boohoo the price is unjustified" and so on, since politics and companies started to listen to every retard that opens his mouth those retards got more and more since they got the audience for their bullshit.

Lol and nothing of value was lost
Well, Arceus was a major development in the series. I'm actually willing to pay full value for this. It looks amazing.

Sure, Nintendo has pushed out bad content like SEGA with Sonic, but this is something that looks way better.

So yes, something of value was lost.

Aside from that:

GOSH DANG IT
Why can leakers not just stop for a while?
I'm expecting BOTW2 to be leaked ahead, and then suddenly every pirate in the world unites.

Still makes me feel like a jerk waiting on a legit preorder.
All physical copy games leak. With a catch: when the game is very antecipated people want to share the game online. When the game is niche like Cruis'n Blast no one leaks even if they get a copy before.
They don't like you
