Unfortunately, just three days before the game launches on Switch, it appears to have leaked online.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendoeverything.com\/tomodachi-life-living-the-dream-rom-leaked-online\/\">Nintendo Everything<\/a> and <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GamingLeaksAndRumours\/comments\/1sjqzoy\/tomodachi_life_living_the_dream_has_been_leaked\/\">r\/GamingLeaksAndRumours<\/a> report that a ROM of the upcoming simulation game is out there ahead of the game&#8217;s launch on Thursday. There were some rumours that the game leaked last week, and that some places in the US were selling it, but we haven&#8217;t been able to verify where the leaks have come from.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, we won&#8217;t be sharing any links here, nor will we be reporting on any spoilers. We think we can all wait a <em>few<\/em> more days to get our hands on the game, right?<\/p>\n<p>It might feel like it&#8217;s been a while since a Nintendo game has leaked, and that&#8217;s because Switch 2 games seem to be a lot less piracy-friendly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/metroid_prime_4_beyond\">Metroid Prime 4: Beyond<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_legends_z-a\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a> both leaked before release, but both of those games were also available on Switch 1. So with Tomodachi Life being a Switch 1 exclusive, this probably isn&#8217;t a huge surprise. Disappointing, but not huge.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you want to go in completely out-of-the-loop on the game, stay off the internet just in case.
