A Nintendo Switch ROM of Super Mario RPG was reported to have leaked online on November 13, 2023, four days before the game’s official November 17 release. The report established that a leak was circulating ahead of launch, but did not establish who obtained the ROM or how it was distributed. The story is historical: Nintendo’s scheduled release date has passed.
What was reported about the leak?
Nintendo Wire reported on November 13, 2023 that a ROM of Super Mario RPG had leaked about a week before release. Nintendo’s official US product page and its corporate launch schedule both list November 17, 2023 as the release date, making the reported timing four days before launch. Read Nintendo Wire’s contemporaneous report.
The report does not identify who first obtained the ROM, explain how it became available, or document its distribution route. Those details should not be treated as established facts.
Which game was involved?
The leak report concerned Nintendo’s 2023 Nintendo Switch overhaul of the original Super Mario RPG, not a newly announced game. Nintendo describes a story in which Mario and a group of unlikely allies—including Bowser, Mallow, and Geno—set out to repair the wish-granting Star Road and stop the Smithy Gang. Nintendo’s US game page and its UK game page provide the official game details.

What did Nintendo list for the Switch release?
Nintendo’s US product page lists both physical and digital editions, a remastered soundtrack with a choice of Modern or Classic Super NES arrangements, and TV, tabletop, and handheld play modes. It specifies single-system play for one player and a 6.5 GB file size. These are details from Nintendo’s US listing; availability and product information may differ by region.
Nintendo’s official US listing gives November 17, 2023 as the release date, and Nintendo Co., Ltd.’s regional corporate schedule also lists November 17, 2023. The game is already released, so “imminent launch” no longer describes its status.
