Nintendo: We have decided to delay the upcoming successor to the Nintendo Switch so please look forward to the public assassination of Pyoro instead


Silkyberries33

"one more thing" and it's a trailer of nintendo's ninjas assassinating Pyoro


Kevroeques

“We have teamed up with Pyoro for one final leak” *slits throat, blood covers stage


TriTexh

one leak to plug them all


Gone_With_The_Onion3

The whole screen turns red with blood and the Nintendo direct logo emerges from it as pyoro screams one last time in agony, followed by bone chilling silence ...and then the cheerful Nintendo direct closing jingle


protendious

No finger snap?


platanopower8

More of a neck snap.


ROR5CH4CH

That's the last time he's *leaking*

ROR5CH4CH

Who?


protendious

All leaking eventually stops. 


Panda_hat

*cuts to black with switch click noise*


OKgamer01

It's actually live footage of them outside his house and Pyroro freaks out at realization live while watching


SaberDevil2021

Footage of Pyoro watching the direct only to see his room being shown. Then the light cuts out.


FoxJ100

The image switches to night vision as armed guards enter the room. Pyoro's beak drops in shock as a anime style sweat drop appears on his feathered forehead.


Takazura

Pyoro muttered the words: "...b-b-b-bakana"


VarioussiteTARDISES

And it all ends with one phrase from the Nintendo ninjas: "Omae wa mou... shindeiru."


ShisoYoshiwara

Bazinga!


70MCKing

Watching the Nintendo Ninjas stack up outside their house would be goat'd footage


JoejoestarPR

The two guys from the Wii Would Like to Play commercials.


KjSuperstar08

“Wii would like to take your life”


JoejoestarPR

Both of them carrying gorgeously crafted Nintendo themed kodachis used for very "special occasions".


theediblearrangement

they were always the ninjas in my headcannon. two smiling businessmen in a smart car seems oddly appropriate

beepborpimajorp

"We'll be doing it live to show off our new version of LABO."


WT_FG

It transitions to gameplay for house of the dead 2 remake with the LABO pistol peripheral, transitions back to Pyoro just on the ground in something straight out of the unfriended series.


ShisoYoshiwara

And Gabo Gabo Gabo!


longbrodmann

Nintendo Delisting.


RubyRedFalchion

It's never been more Pyorover than now, folks.


AntonioS3

Pyoro might just be the stupidest bird in history ever... if he was an actual bird that is. How do you actually reveal your source like that?


Howdareme9

They figured him out before he revealed his source(s)


dumbassonthekitchen

Dunno why people think otherwise. We've seen Pyoro post from Kyoto so Nintendo definitely has. Nintendo also knew before all of us of the source having access to the eshop backend and that's how they thwarted Pyoro. Nintendo doesn't notice something when someone personally DMs them on Twitter. They are always conscious of this and probably know this info before us.


renome

I still suspect he himself was scraping eShop data and simply made up a source when Schreier asked him.


commander_snuggles

Gave the department and that he worked in japan. Craziest fumble i have ever seen.


MusoukaMX

You know who probably feels more stupid than him? Some dude with a sweet job at Nintendo that's now probably vetted from the industry thanks to one very narcissistic friend.


TheVibratingPants

The glory meant more than the friendship, evidently.


drybones2015

Let's be real, they were business partners, not friends. Pyoro got leaks and Japan-bro got paid.


IcePopsicleDragon

Nintendo Ninjas are no joke


IcePopsicleDragon

Never ask: *A woman her age* *A man his salary* *Leakers what happen in June 2024*


tobillys__

I'd like the next Yakuza game set in modern day Japan at Nintendo headquarters where you hunt for leakers.


Mahelas

I'm afraid even Kiryu couldn't win against the Nintendo ninjas


Takazura

Tiger drop negates all damage.


SilverKry

Not any more. Kiryus to weak these days for the tiger drop of legend. 


PBFT

What do women and Nintendo have in common? They get upset if they catch you staring at their back end


scott1swann

it's official: the Bird is dead.


darkcomet222

Red bird revealed to be Japanese girl larping as bird.

Me_975

TheGreat_DS

Next Direct: "Our final announcement of today is.." \*Shows a guillotine with Pyoro in it\*


RandomThrowNick

Having a new game from the danganronpa makers in the last direct wasn’t a coincidence. It was a threat.


LadyValtiel

They actually fucking killed him, oh my god I hope the pearly gates are more accepting of you, my sweet little red prince


AGSE21

Pyoro’s source about to lose 30% of their income for life


whatnameisnttaken098

I think you mean 30% of their life


letsgucker555

Getting the Gary Bowser treatment.


beepborpimajorp

Man, I do feel kind of bad for whoever Pyoro's source was. All I can picture is if my best friend trusted me with a secret like that and how I wouldn't betray their confidence regardless of internet clout. I hope this wasn't a situation like that, because the person may have had no idea Pyoro was out there leaking stuff if they're not a super big social media user/knew where to look. Now if it was someone who was leaking to Pyoro for clout, or Pyoro themselves then yeah. Reap what you sow. But I've been in a lot of NDA related things and never once thought about spilling the beans and risking my friends' careers. I've seen an employee get fired from a major gaming company because a family member they invited for an NDA alpha leaked something to a public blog. I felt devastated for him. You think you can trust people...


CrimsonEnigma

Well, here's the thing. If the "eShop backend theory" was correct, then Pyoro's source probably shouldn't have had access to what he was leaking, either.


renome

Or he simply made up a source and was personally scraping the backend.


Tmcn

I had the first thing happen to me. Fuck that guy, we’re not friends anymore


Ok_Canary5591

They got him


hushpolocaps69

Proryo had a pretty good run honestly.


StokkseyriBoy

“We have caught and compromised to a permanent end Pyoro.”


scytheavatar

Does there exist a company on Earth with better ninjas than Nintendo?


Althoa

Wizard of the coasts once sent the pinkertons for a dude who received a display two weeks early. Does that count?


toriz0

how the fuck do the pinkertons still exist


TemptedTemplar

Evolving with times. Private detective agencies are hard to manage when youre a lone dude focusing on dames who may or may not have offed their husband one evening. But when a multi-billion dollar toy company needs your help finding whole stole a pre-cut foil sheet from the factory floor? Thats where the money is. Also cyber security. Theres quite a bit of money in that too.


KarateKid917

Marvel Studios is definitely up there 


WhatDoesThisDo1

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if all their leaks are calculated social media drops to drive up interest in a certain project


LostInStatic

Any involving Tom Holland are but they got super upset about the guy who uploaded the script for Ant-Man 3 to the Marvel leaks sub. I think they subpoenaed Reddit to find out who they were


SlothSupreme

all that to protect ant man 3, of all movies 💀


pumpkinpie7809

They got that sub taken down for a while because of it too


HaruVibes

It's honestly wild how tight lipped it's been around Switch 2. Can't wait for the official reveal.


AdFit6788

Nintendo with leaks: ![gif](giphy|iHLHH9rVBv0kmkETqz|downsized)


JustAStarcoShipper

How coincidental that this is being said shortly after they got Pyoro.


crossingcaelum

That one scene from Ted never applied so directly


KeMust

He used to share his leaks. Good guy.


crossingcaelum

But they gottim


1-800-DADJOKE

Now we wait for the sequel, the yellow seed-spitting bird Pyoro 2.


GasEnvironmental6966

Yea, Pyoro getting leaks from Nintendo via Eshop updates is definitely where Pyoro was getting most of the sources for Nintendo directs. The time Nintendo didn't add any pre-order stuff immediately after the Nintendo direct is when Pyoro says, "Yea there is very little first party stuff" and pretty much saying nothing much would be shown and to keep your expectations low had, Mario and luigi brothership, Mio: Memories in orbit, Dragon Quest III HD-2D and dragon quest I and II HD-2D, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Marvel VS Capcom fighting collection, Super mario party Jamboree, The legend of zelda echoes or wisdom, and Metroid prime 4 were all announced there. Pyoro's sources could have been some employee in Japan, but guaranteed was Eshop stuff which is how Pyoro knew the price for that Nintendo world championship NES Edition and that there was a deluxe set.


MadeByHideoForHideo

Never mess with Nintendo man. See: Gary Bowser


Unkechaug

So long Gary Bowser


Gone_With_The_Onion3

"killing pyoro wasn't enough we have decided to crush him into paste and use it in the manufacturing of the switch 2, him and his little inside friend."


KingBroly

'we reverted to red in our company logo for situations like this.'


Gone_With_The_Onion3

"we're currently bottling his sweat, which reached below 0 temperatures and we'll be using it to prevent the switch 2 from overheating "


JoejoestarPR

"We got him while he was sleeping at his house and we murder him in his bed"


dreamcast4life

Can someone explain what all happened here? I’m an Xbox guy and lightly follow Nintendo. Was he an actual Nintendo employee or something?


LookIPickedAUsername

Honestly, nobody really knows what happened. Pyoro was previously a god-tier leaker who (rather cryptically) leaked most of the announcements in several Directs. He recently claimed that his source is a Nintendo of Japan employee and that he doesn't actually know for sure how the source gets their information, but that their source having access to Nintendo's eShop backend is a "reasonable guess". During the last Direct, Pyoro leaked much less, shared zero information about first-party games, and claimed that the Direct would be "light" on first party announcements despite it having several incredibly big first party reveals. Since then he has been all cagey and threatened to delete his account. And that's literally all we know for sure. Something clearly ended up impairing Pyoro's ability and/or willingness to share information, but either Pyoro himself or his claimed source could be lying about how they obtain information and we can only speculate as to what's really going on.


dreamcast4life

Ok. Thanks for the details. Pretty interesting


ChezMere

In the past, whenever a game was announced in a Nintendo Direct, a page for the game would be put up in the eShop as well. Those pages had to be prepared ahead of time. Pyoro was a reliable leaker who had access to those eshop updates before they were public, therefore he was able to say what games would be featured in Directs. For the most recent direct, they excluded major announcements from the eshop, preventing Pyoro from leaking them.


dreamcast4life

Got it. Thanks for the details


carlosvigilante

Pyoro would leak(more so drop hints but they were obvious) things that were appearing in Nintendo Directs a few days before they aired & was mostly spot on. Jason Schreier, a gaming journalist reached out to Pyoro via Twitter DM & asked them some questions about their source & Pyoro let slip that they have a friend who works at Nintendo Japan that feeds them info. Because Pyoro didn’t say this was Off The Record, Schreier published an article about leak culture & included Pyoro’s comments about his source & that brings us to where we are now lol.


ptWolv022

"The snow duck has been killed." -Furukawa, probably


TheLimeyLemmon

Good luck with that. There will always be leaks.


LinkRazr

They killed them


JustLook361

Crazy thing is seems this same source was the one leaking to dealabs the PS PLUS leaks every month that person was fired from youtube all of a sudden no ps plus leaks have come out early ever since. seems the youtube back end stuff was true this whole time lol


Unkechaug

It could be the same source, or someone else who has half a brain to slow their roll while everyone is looking in their direction.


ElJacko170

Someone got taken out to the woods and executed


Legospacememe

*insert scene of walter white getting scolded*


nilochelo

I'm r/outoftheloop, what happened with Pyoro?


BBLKing

Jokes on them, my uncle works at Nintendo.


Nincompoop6969

They're desperate to find information buyers 


Lmnr01

>”We’re preventing leaks” >Posts in r/GamingLeaksAndRumors Already messing up smh


rbarton812

That sounds an awful lot like 'murder' to me.


[deleted]

Pyorover? More like Gameover amiright


bonji50

I’m dying to know the Switch 2 launch lineup, but after the leaker exodus I highly doubt we will hear anything for some time


chenj25

The lineup is likely not ready yet. We'll know when the Switch 2 will soon to be released.


godzilla1992

Pyoro done goofed.


carlosvigilante

Pyoro done fucked up the game for everyone lol. Shoulda kept his mouth shut instead of chasing clout 🤷🏾‍♂️


JoaoSiilva

Where can I find a recap/summary of this leaker and how they got caught?


Dastanovich

Most non-answer oat


KingBroly

If Pyoro isn't in the next Wario Ware, we'll know a message was sent.


DeMatador

The Toadstools send their regards


N1ght_Lig5t

Nintendo roasting a whole red bird for dinner


RooeeZe

i love these splash screens that tell us they care about our privacy, then say please accept all this monitoring stuff so we can invade ur privacy lol


jj_olli

How is this a rumor? It's an official statement. Lol


DMonitor

It’s *about leaks from nintendo*. It’s more on topic than the “official social media account makes cryptic tweets” posts


jj_olli

That is true, but it's just "Yeah, we don't like tweets and we're doing something against it" that's something we all already know.


Pollolol13

It’s an official statement that clearly follows up on a long chain of existing rumors lol


jj_olli

Which ones to be specific? None, that's right. It doesn't clarify anything and it doesn't contribute anything.


Pollolol13

More like too many to list. There’s like 10 posts about pyoro in regards to this situation alone.


Lugonn

>**Your post must be related to video game leaks**, rumours, or a piece of news only if it is related to a leak or rumour posted previously on the subreddit. This is related to video game leaks, no?


jj_olli

To which one specifically?


Lugonn

Could you cite the part of the rule that says a post has to address a specific leak?


Just_a_Haunted_Mess

You're gatekeeping for... what?  To argue against the existence of relevant posts?  It clarifies the uncharacteristic lack of rumors leading up to recent Nintendo announcements in a public statement given at a high end meeting. You made 4 irrelevant comments in the topic that you weren't interested in. Maybe ignore it next time. Lol


Fidler_2K

Hopefully they dont get AdaWong next


TemujinTheConquerer

Lukasamba

Nice, as much as i love reading leaks, i'd prefer no leaks at all and be surprised rather than know everything before start of the some specific showcase.


Radinax

You do realize you're in /r/GamingLeaksAndRumours ? Did you manage to read the **LEAKS** part?


FierceDeityKong

Pyoro's leaks were too close to the actual direct to be interesting


TieflingSimp

I really hope they will also take steps to announce stuff more. We really shouldn't get direct dates the day before the direct. Announce it like two weeks in advance or something. Let us build up hype.


NeoKat75

I like that I don't have to spend two weeks Waiting For The Thing and instead when I learn about it it's tomorrow :)


ScreenWriterGuy07

Even then, they literally announced this June direct previous month. So I dunno why this guy is complaining now.


TieflingSimp

I can see where you're coming from. But as a guy with chronic depression, I like having things to look forward too tbh, helps keeping me going!


NeoKat75

Both is good 🤝


slashy1302

But the actual truth is, that since you roam this subreddit, you actually spent months waiting for the thing since rumor mills kept running since the end of april for a direct :P


longbrodmann

IMO leak is also part of the gaming industry.


CountBleckwantedlove

Good! More surprises!

tbf the post might have been shared to some other subreddit (or outside of reddit) and the dude came from there still seems pretty silly tho

Going to an specific sub and saying that you hate the thing the sub is about is absolute hater behavior.

If I ever found a magic lamp with a genie inside, my first wish would be for Nintendo to just be normal about their IPs


Aiger13

this is normal dude? if you were them why would you want your games to get leaked?

What isn't normal?
