That wouldn't be Nintendo's fault.

According to the leak, if it's legit, then Starfox is a (Nth Hemisphere) summer game, so coming in the next few months.

Holiday games not being announced yet makes sense, but when you wait until just a few months out to reveal something, you assume the risk of it leaking out and if it does, it's your own fault for not acting sooner.

We won't agree on this and I don't respect your stance. Developer hands should not be forced nor blamed for the actions of leakers. Games should be able to be announced 4months ahead of time without being spoiled, just like Split Fiction was at the game awards ahead of it's March release or just like how they Shadow dropped Metroid Prime Remastered.

I'll just end by saying that I hope Nintendo is able to tighten the leaks so they're able create the special moments of surprising audiences at whatever pace they as the makers of the work feel appropriate.
