While Nintendo has been trying to get the US government more involved in stopping piracy of their products, hackers are hard at work pissing off the Japanese video game corporation.

It's only been a few weeks since these guys figured out how to install Virtual Console for free on the Wii using the Twilight Hack, yet pirates have already taken over WiiWare.  A video posted on YouTube showed Family Ping Pong on a North American console, but it has since been taken down. 

The online modes may not be operational since there's been no word on that, but the impressive part is that the hackers can actually install Japanese WiiWare ROMs/WADs on a US system.

Virtual Console and WiiWare games are tagged for microtransaction, like your iTunes purchases, so it'll be interesting to see if Nintendo can track down the pirates or at the very least, ban their consoles.  Who knows, maybe Nintendo secretly black-bags such perpetrators in the dead of night and fires them off into outer space.

Not that it would deter everyone from trying stunts like this.
