It appears that Super Mario RPG for the Nintendo Switch has surfaced online before its scheduled official release next week.

Despite the slated release date of November 17th, diligent dataminer @OatmealDome has reported that the game has been "leaked to the internet." Additional revelations, such as the codename and game engine, have also come to light, courtesy of this insider.

The informant goes on to advise caution for those who wish to avoid spoilers, suggesting preemptive measures like keyword blocking on social media or steering clear of specific subreddits. Given the game's roots in the 1996 Super Nintendo release, the remake boasts enhanced graphics, a revamped soundtrack, and various subtle adjustments.

Nintendo is likely to be displeased with the premature exposure of the game, as fans gain access ahead of the official launch date. The anticipation surrounding the release is now coupled with an unexpected twist, leaving both fans and the gaming giant on edge.
