Well there goes a few bucks I spent on something forever ago I never used in the first place.
I was just looking at the history of Nintendo hacking the other day.
We can't have nice things because of those dastardly pirates.
I remember one of the hacks for the 3DS let you steal any game you wanted off of the 3DS Eshop, too.
Piracy kind of derails a lot of things.
. . .And IMO, hackers utterly ruin leaderboards, too. The entire concept of how top scores work is completely destroyed once a system gets cracked and the list gets magically filled with 99999999 scores and 0.00.00 times. It's why I'm the only person I'm aware of that actually likes Global Smash Power. It counts from the bottom instead of the top, so people who magically give themselves high scores mess with your position far less badly. Of course, no one's going to crack down on piracy because of completely trashed top score systems, but it is another thing about hacking that annoys me.
Oh, and the fact that competitive Pokemon makes it all but mandatory.
Really, some of the Smash hacks out there are nice looking, but other things about hacking have put a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
