I can’t believe a news site would report on the biggest leak of the biggest game of the year that is currently being talked about by the broader gaming community as though it was newsworthy or something!

I’m not here to defend Kotaku because who wants to do that. But if you think Nintendo itself isn’t petty I’ve got some ocean front property that I’d like to sell to you in 50 years.

Kotaku is so right for this though. Nintendo is a corporation like any other, white knighting for them isn’t going to win anyone any good graces with them.

There is a leak, a leak is news worthy. So it is always worth reporting.

It’s because they're incredibly petty and are doing it in retaliation to being previously blacklisted.
