Those sailing the high seas may have noticed a new upload of a Nintendo Switch title. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury has leaked online a week exactly prior to its scheduled release date. A private dump of the game is circulating illegally online, allowing those with hacked systems to play the game before the official launch on February 12th. Please remember that GBAtemp's rules specifically state that warez and ROMs are not allowed to be uploaded or shared. Please be mindful of our ToS.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. My Switch is not even modded and I have already stated that I pre-ordered the game myself.

Well sorry but people who leak games are dicks

 

[godreborn]

I don't care about games leaking early, only just don't want to be spoiled.

TBH I don't think the game leak is going to hurt sales. This game isn't really new it is more of an expansion if you include bowsers fury. If the modding scene was discreet then Nintendo would barely give us any problems but when you have people going on youtube and etc... with the leak game that causes problems.

I'm in a Nintendo group on facebook and a guy was bragging about playing the leaked game. "Keep in mind he was showing his real name" He can't blame if Nintendo sues him wiith copyright infringement

the converted nsp passed nsp verify. what is the right way to convert?

That doesn't bother me as much as online cheating. Thankfully modded Switches can't play online. I think? Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't follow the Switch scene all that closely.

They can. Not sure what the extent would be of this situation.

I bought a second handed Switch this summer for 200€, it was barely used to the point it is on firmware 4.0.1.

Never really liked the Switch design and still dislike it, but it was a full vulnerable Switch and I was bored so I bought it, then I realized I was lucky because the console never was updated so I didn't had to buy a jig to hack it.

I hacked it, installed some games and never touched it again, I prefer my New 3DS that still has lots of exclusive games I want to play.

And one more nintendo Game leaks.
Anyways...

Cleared bowser fury... Meh!
And that is...

Oh! Sm3dw, i played on Wii u.

Stupid Mode: Luigi Bros is not available

[wolf-snake]

You sound pretty salty. lol

Ohh he's the king of saltiness... Specially if you developed an emulator and stop working on it because IRL issues.

 

[Deleted User]

How dare those evil pirates. Truly monsters that are hurting the game industry.

I will wait for the LEGAL copy like the nice Switch owner that I am.

please don't hurt me Nintendo ninjas...i know you're watching us

I still bought the game and willing to pirate the game just to play it early on emuMMC and then transfer my save to sysMMC when it's released

 

[DJPlace]

Might grab it soon-ish then. Sorry Nintendo, love your games n all but $60 is a bit much for an old Wii U game with a bonus 3-hour experience.

well let's just say adding the new stuff to games like this or DLC like for example mario kart 8 makes it sixty dollars and that's a sad

Yeah i saw that alot during the Wii U and 3DS days, a bunch of people bragging to Nintendo (IN OFFICIAL NINTENDO SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES MIND YOU) about how they were actively pirating their games, and some of them even saying what method they used to play them. I saw so many people mentioning Freeshop by name and even linking it that i'm not surpriced at all Nintendo knew how to stop Freeshop from working. And on the Wii U side? you shit on the console telling Nintendo how nobody will buy it and nobody will play the games released for the system, but you bought the console and are currently playing said game you said nobody will play and are currently taunting Nintendo about it? were you dropped on the head when you were a kid or something?

Seriously, people on the Internet are truly the worse humanity has to offer.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

it leaked on Feb 28 before the March 3 release date for the Wii U.
it was just a few days ( pretty much 72hrs to the dot) not really really early, less time than 3D world.

Never forget. The Saga of the Australian Ticket from 4Chan.

This is why we barely have nice things. Nobody cares if you pirate a game but to brag about it and post leaked gameplay online isn't good on Nintendo's part nore the modding scene part. That's why some people i don't feel sorry when Nintendo sues them because they brought evreything on themeselves.

This has now become normal for Nintendo releases.

From what I saw Bowser's Fury is almost like a separate game, it would be really cool if they could launch as a standalone (I already played Super Mario 3D World on Wii U, I really just want to play the Bowser's Fury but I don't want to have to pay $60 for a game I’ve already played.)

Maybe could it be possible to add the extra content to the original version for Wii U with some mod like people did with Mario Kart 8 ?


Probably not, Bowser's Fury seems to run on different engine (even runs at a lower resolution than 3D World and 30fps in portable mode), but a man can dream, right?

In the worst case I play the game on Yuzu, I really don't want to have to pay $60 just to play Bowser's Fury.

 

[HarveyHouston]

It's more Nintendo's fault than the pirates'. They need disconnected systems to have their TOP SECRET STUFF on!

 

[gaga941021]

tbf its longer than 3 hours
bowsers furys really goood im 42 shines in

also bowser has no chill

How is your Switch fan during gameplay? Mine sounds like a turbine during this game. (docked)

Anyone else stuck at the black "Nintendo switch" screen on this?

Tried converting the XCI to NSP, and also installing the XCI directly with Awoo.

I had problems with the game just refusing to load (didn't even make it to the black screen on this game)

I also had problems where sometimes other games would just get stuck at the black screen.

It's only today I fixed all those issues, by installing the new atmosphere that dropped recently, and also updating the sig patches. also get the new hekate and nix that just dropped. i think its on 5.5.4 now

I suggest you backup your SD card and give it a try. also make sure you are on the latest firmware.

look up the channel switchXclusive on youtube for how to install stuff, and if the vid is outdated just use your common sense and grab the latest files instead of the files he uses.

I installed everything manually expect for the the latest firmware which i did through some deapsea updater or something

 

[Nincompoopdo]

If you only want to play Super Mario 3D World, the Wii U version can run at 4K 60 FPS using CEMU, much better than this Switch version.

 

[Unity150_magickavoxel]

The dumper forgot to empty out the cert from the xci.........

 

[spotanjo3]

Well sorry but people who leak games are dicks

I totally agreed. They should have wait until after the release date then they can do whatever they want. To leak games before the release date are wrong and a cowardly, really.

The dumper forgot to empty out the cert from the xci.........

Why ? Is something important about the cert that should be empty ?
