Summary:
- Gen10 is on the works
- Switch 2’s internal codename is Ounces
- GF and ILCA are co-producing a MP battle-focused game, codenamed Synapse
- source code for HG/SS and B2/W2, plus map editor for R/S/E were leaked
Conjecture: I wouldn’t be surprised if the TeraLeak in question wasn’t planned out by Nintendo and Game Freak, to distract people from the fact that Nintendo is trying to harass a competitor out of the market and suing emulators back and right.

Sorry, but at its worst, Nintendo is lawful evil. There’s no way this is intentional.
Source code was leaked? This will be a great time for modders if they can get their hands on it.
Source code was leaked?
TFW it’s just Pokemon Red copied and pasted 35 times, in Word 2003, with mail merge tokens to replace character, location, and skill names:
Hoping this gives the DS romhacking side a good kick in the pants. It’s amazing what the community has done with R/S/E, but I’d love to see what they can get up to with fewer hardware limitations (while not going the full PC fangame route)
Map editor sounds interesting.
It does! And it would be damn great fuel for the ROMHacks that Nintendo has a burning hate against.
Right, because a hacker getting vengeance for those abuses totally isn’t the narrative people would prefer.

Maybe, in the short term. But as people feel like the vengeance was successful, the topic gets its emotional conclusion. Then the focus shifts from how that leak popped up to the contents of the leak:
- code and map editors for really old (more than a decade old) games
- tidbits of info that might excite people about new games
Of course, I might be 100% wrong, and the leak might be actually the result of someone getting undue access to that content, or some insider getting pissed and leaking the info that they had at hand. I just think that Nintendo+GF+TPC are scummy enough to forge being leaked for their own benefit.
Scummy, yes. But are they competent enough for that? At underhanded public relations specifically? I feel like, if they ever listened to the sort of manipulator who’d suggest this, they’d stop strangling fan projects in the first place. Yuzu and maybe Palworld might plausibly have impacted their immense revenue, but there’s a pattern of hyperactive iron-fisted legal horseshit that’s gone on for decades.
But are they competent enough for that?
Fuck - you’re right, they aren’t.
Nevermind my conjecture then, it’s probably as you said.
After mega evolution, z moves, protomorphosis (or however it is called), dynamax, …, now finally: Gigaleaking
Everyone get out your tiny violins.
source code for HG/SS and B2/W2, plus map editor for R/S/E were leaked
Everything that old should be public-domain anyway. Might as well publish the behind-the-scenes stuff as well.
30TB of the same game, rendered in different colors.
No, the game data itself is 1 TB, but 29TB is their code to change colors
0 bad feelings about it, hope they leak more.
Skyla was designed after latinas with big boobs in mind, kinda based.
I’d be cautious about running any “leaked” software directly, great way to identify the modding community if it dials home, maybe run it in a vm, behind a vpn? Unless it’s just source code in which case carry on
I wouldn’t run it on original hardware but are there any known attack vectors where malware infects you via a ROM that runs in a trusted emulator?
There was a vulnerability in Project64 so a malicious ROM could escape outside of the emulator. So while unlikely, it’s certainly possible.
