Update: Flipnote Studio for Switch as well as the new Pokemon music have been confirmed fake, so thankfully we can rest easy knowing that Nintendo’s servers have not been hacked.

Hacks (and especially leaks) do happen though, and it’s something we’ve seen impact Nintendo in recent years.

Here’s what Aspyr is saying about the situation:
