According to former Nintendo marketing managers Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, the company is pretty great at preventing first-party leaks – but when it comes to third-party leaks, things become a bit more complicated.
Ellis and Yang address leaks while speaking in a new podcast entry on YouTube, explaining that Nintendo actually hires employees to prevent any from happening in the first place. "We joke around about Nintendo ninjas," describes Yang, but there are "actual employees at the company" whose job is "to investigate leaks" – and they do so well. "There is a team at Nintendo that gets paid to do this. They are very elite, they're very good at their jobs."
