Pirates selling GameCube titles as Wii games

Gaming site GameOPS has found that pirates are up to some nasty tricks and are pirating Gamecube game titles onto DVD and then packaging them as Wii games. Games such as Luigi's Manasion are re-branded with Wii logos and boxart features. But of course they don't feature any of the motion sensing controls that the Wii versions offer. Some might say its just deserts for those who indulge in purchasing such material.

Filipino site GameOPS found that pirates are up to their old tricks again, copying GameCube games onto DVD discs and packaging them as Wii releases. Titles like Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition are advertised with new covers that've been rebranded with Wii logos and boxart elements. Unlike official GameCube-to-Wii ports, these don't even feature tacked-on waggle controls!

When asked about the "Wii" copy of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes on display at ShopesVille, a department store in Manila's Greenhills Shopping Center, one of the salesladies explained that it's the same Metal Gear Solid release as the upcoming PS3 game. We bet that all the people who argued about the Wii not being able to handle next-gen graphics feel a bit silly now! Check past the break for a couple more photos of the counterfeit case jackets.
