Hype among the foolish doesn't count. Everyone else understands this is fake, just like all of the others.
Sometimes they get it right, but it's invariably a one game/detail guess that's fairly obvious and guessed multiple times already: like a direct for a game that's about 1-2 months away.
There have been leaks before, sometimes announcements are leaked within a day of their public reveal (likely because Nintendo sent around an email to their staff and press within a day before the public announcement), and occasionally there's a leak of something from the factory; like what happened with the NX hardware. Never has a Direct been leaked a month in advance, or even more than 1 day. A correct guess of a single data point is not a leak, a leak is only when information actually leaks from Nintendo.
One last point: Why on earth would anyone think that Nintendo's next batch of games would be a collection of disappointing franchises? At least throw in something That's been successful like a Nintendogs, Tomodachi, or Mario/Zelda remake. And don't pick a game (like Metroid) that everyone knows is years away - if Metroid Prime 4 was already far enough along to be showable after only 9 months of development by a small studio, then it's probably something more akin to Metroid Federation Force.
