Nintendo are masters of illusion, hiding some of the biggest games-to-be from the public eye with the kind of skill that’d turn even David Blaine into ahow-dey-do-dat.

Scour the net and you’ll see just how watertight Nintendo’s secrets ship is. New games are never broken by a single news source, but delivered simultaneously to the doorsteps of every journalistic outlet lucky enough to be in Nintendo’s contacts book.
