StandoffNintendo finishes their week in press releases with an announcement that Mexican authorities have seized more than 75,000 knock-off Nintendo products from fayuca contraband markets over the last two months.

counterfeit Nintendo products were confiscated, including 11,000
counterfeit Wii discs.
