Leaker 'Pyoro' Locks Account After Claiming Their Source Works For Nintendo
Who is the Nintendo Direct information leaker mentioned?
The Nintendo Direct information leaker mentioned is 'Pyoro', who has been connected to multiple accurate Nintendo-related leaks over the last year3. They recently locked their Twitter account after revealing their source works for Nintendo of Japan and it was suggested they might have access to Nintendo's web backend.
What did Jason Schreier say about the terms of their communication?
Jason Schreier said that he made the terms of their communication "pretty clear" when he reached out to Pyoro via direct messages to get clarity on the situation.
What theory explains Pyoro's source of information?
The "backend theory" suggests that Pyoro's source of information comes from access to Nintendo's web backend, which contains data on games set to go live on Nintendo's website as soon as they are announced1. This theory was proposed after it was observed that Pyoro's leaks were accurate for games with pre-seeded webpages on Nintendo's store, but not for games only put up on the store after a Nintendo Direct presentation.
