Wii Ben was a group/company based in Mainland China that distributed pirated Wii games during the system's early launch. There isn't much known about the company, other than Wii Ben's appearance on the now-defunct Nintendo Anti-Piracy website, first appearing on the "How to detect" page from January 24th, 2008 to July 9th, 2013 before disappearing. This hints at the interference of Nintendo via legal action or the company simply falling into obscurity.
Wii Ben mainly sold pirated copies of pre-existing Wii games along with a few compilation discs of games from past generation consoles, usually having dim disc & case art most likely due to the poor quality of the photocopying along with other additions that make the product look counterfeit such as a second Serial number, an ISO 3166 code with a CN ISO confirming the company's origin of Mainland China, some discs having a DVD logo, the standard Wii logo being replaced with a Wii Ben one, and other discs having a 'Rating Pending' ESRB rating most definitely due to the pirates using pre-release images. Other discs are simply a DVD-R with the game's name written in marker giving context to the DVD logo on other discs and revealing that Wii Ben simply burned game ROMs onto DVD-R discs without any modification, causing the games to be prone to crashing even if they were able to get passed the Wii's copyright protection. Additionally, above the Wii Ben logo on some discs is text typed in broken English that reads "Wii support all the types of aircraft we hope to create a perfect happy fun . Good preservation makes a good GAME. I would like him to elect Mr. BEN." along with a message written around the disc's borders that guarantees the product has been tested, that reads "This product passes through 100% to test has not had the question". These discs were most likely distributed in North America, South America and Europe.
