In an effort to bolster sales in light of the widely popular Wii, some Filipino pirates are selling GameCube games dressed up as Wii games to unsuspecting players not familiar with Nintendo's fourth-generation home console.
Man, I had no idea they did a Luigi's Mansion Wii edition!
Filipino website GameOPS found games like Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker copied onto DVD discs and repackaged as Wii games.
Copyright pirates have also been known to do the same for b-movies being released as legitimate sequels such as Anaconda 4 and Breakfast Club 3 according to tongue-in-cheek Wii Fanboy.
Cellda and Tony Hawk too!
You can't have just one RE Wii remake

This adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "GameCube 1.5." And to think said Wii games don't even include motion-controls like most GameCube-to-Wii ports. Bummer.
