Oh boy, it’s happened again. Just like Super Mario Bros Wonder, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Party before it, Mario & Luigi: Brothership has now leaked online.
That’s according to folks at Famiboards anyway, who have spotted the ROM file and various footage from the game being posted online via sites like 4chan. Here’s the original thread, with more information on the game:

Plus, some leaked footage from Twitter user Switch Tools:

It’s pretty bad news for Nintendo, especially after so many other games met the same fate. Indeed, with just about every Switch game of note leaking before release, it’s clear the company is really struggling to keep footage offline until launch day.
And it’s even worse here. Why? Because while Super Mario Party: Jamboree leaked a week early and Echoes of Wisdom leaked a few days early…
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a game that shouldn’t be available to the public for weeks. So, it’s likely that not only will social media be flooded with spoilers for the game soon, but that everything and the kitchen sink will be available online long before any normal player even gets access to the game.
Still, if you want to avoid spoilers, now’s the time to do so. Get off social media, block channels like Prosafia Gaming, and stay well away from forums and subreddits about the game, since Mario & Luigi: Brothership is now out in the wild and available to anyone willing to search for it.
