Read from dualshockers:

Nintendo has taken the active step of blacklisting the website from any future partnership. Video game journalists often sign non-disclosure agreements to receive review copies of games prior to launch. These generally have quite serious legal repercussions if broken and it’s incredibly rare for a case such as this to occur. Not only that, when they do, it is almost unheard of for a company as large as Nintendo to publicly comment on the situation.

“FNintendo failed to handle confidential material, resulting in a clear breach of the confidentiality agreement between Nintendo and the media outlet. As a result, Nintendo will no longer work with FNintendo. Nintendo will always protect its intellectual property and brands. Leaks hurt not just Nintendo, but the thousands of employees who work hard to bring games to market, and the millions of fans around the world who look forward to news and surprises.”

In an official apology, issued by FNintendo, they go on to explain that:

“Nintendo offered us a copy of the game for analysis purposes, with clear embargo guidelines, with which we agreed. That copy was sent to one of our collaborators, who improperly shared the photos mentioned. After the investigation, FNintendo ended its relationship with this employee. Our relationship with Nintendo Portugal goes back 11 years, but our part in this undue sharing is a clear violation of the confidentiality agreement between us and, as a result, a total breach of trust with Nintendo.”
