INFODUMP ALERT! To clarify, the game isn't FULLY unplayable abandonware; its gimmick of online-focused play was prioritized so heavily during development, to the point of the SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN being abysmally short, at only 3 18-hole "tournaments" against NPCs.

Every mainline Nintendo games are expected to be worked on. Until then, support the Pretendo project !

My concern lies within the clean-room reverse-engineering in the first place. If my memory serves me well, MG:WT stopped its constant tournaments YEARS before the shutdown & before 3DS hacking was safe as it is today. No system access during then... no data to reverse-engineer.
