Remember, part of "the necessary information" is DLC, and another part are encrypted keys that Nintendo Wifi uses. Those are going to be difficult, if people even care enough to bother.
I really had no idea Gamespy, as an online service, was THAT wide-spread. It's rather shocking really, considering that I'd thought we would see their logo indicating as such at the very least. It seems to me that having Gamespy itself become such a major pillar of the online community was a mistake. Here I thought that Nintendo actually had their OWN infrastructure for online gaming at the time... it really makes it clear that as far behind as Nintendo's online services were during the DS/Wii era, I was still giving them too much credit.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
