WayForward, the developer behind the likes of the Shantae series and last year's Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, has apparently suffered a data leak which has seen developmental prototypes and game backups posted online.

As noted on Twitter by Lance McDonald, the leaked information is said to have come from a discarded hard drive which was found, with much of its contents now having been dumped online.

The data reportedly spans from approximately 2009-2013 and contains the source code for several prototype games, including Shantae: Risky's Revenge, DuckTales: Remastered, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!! and other Nintendo DS titles.
