wouldn't 100 scores help generate hype?

seems odd to drop reviews so close to release date

Basically some journalist they sent a 3DS game to dumped the rom and seeded it on the internet over a week before release and they've been really fucking mad about it ever since.

Hum, reviewers have had the copy of the game for a while. The embargo is only about when the reviews go up, it has nothing to do with when the game is distributed.

I know a guy who has the game irl and iirc there have been online streams of the game going for a while now.

Some have had it longer than others. Known trusted people got copies before others. Several smaller outlets never got copies at all.

And IIRC the streams are heavily censored.
