The full Nintendo Switch SDK has been leaked to 4Chan, but those were the two most newsworthy morsels to come from the leak.
The company had hoped the console would provide a major boost to sales after a hard first half to the year.
The video games retailer said that although demand was strong for the console, stock availability was lower than expected.
It said it still expected to deliver sales growth of 5-6% in the second half of the financial year but that this was below previous expectations.
Game Digital PLC (LON:GMD) has warned investors that full-year profits are likely to come in "substantially below previous expectations" as challenging trading conditions in its key United Kingdom market have worsened.
Also, although trading in the United Kingdom has been lacklustre, GAME's Spanish business has continued to trade in line with expectations, and is now on track to achieve "record" sales in the year.
In March, Game said first half pre-tax profits tumbled 26.7% to £16.5 million while sales, by gross transaction value, slumped 18.1% in the UK.
In the future, we plan to provide a feature to transfer account save data among multiple consoles.
Game is attempting to bolster supplier arrangements, ramp up cost savings and improve customer experience in store. This stunning Nintendo Switch concept art series was drawn up in the early days of Switch development, back when it was still called the Nintendo NX.
GAME's stock plummeted almost 30 per cent this morning after its financial statement was made public.
Adam Tomlinson, analyst at Liberum, said: "Core retail categories have continued to be weak".
The leaks appeared yesterday in the form of the Nintendo Switch SDK, including but not limited to developer documents containing unique information.
