You can't spoof the data, it's generated unique to each game then signed by Nintendo in a way that isn't reversible to anyone else.

Yeah, i have read the reddit post now [1].

If i understood correctly, Nintendo only allows access to online features of the game specified in that particular certificate.

This does mean that you can buy a game, hack it using a modded console, and play online.

This doesn't prevent cheating in online games, just piracy.
