I remember my classmates playing pranks with each other involving Lightscribe'ing a DVD-R and putting pornography after few minutes of expected legitimate movie, then lending such a disc to each other instead of legit one. Funny thing is, they ended up trusting DVD-Rs with randomly scribbled titles more than any discs with monochrome, "solid" art.
The disc substitution scheme is hardly surprising after that.

The Wii U can't play dvds, I don't know if this changes anything haha

Come on...it isn't like it had Splatoon artwork on the disc. Pretty easy to tell that it is porn.
I once traded in a bunch of games but only afterwards did I realise that the disc for Revengeance I'd traded in was still in my console, I had seen the guy check the first few games that they included the disc, but he must have skipped that one.
I also accidentally traded in a disc for Far Cry Instincts in the case of Far Cry Instincts Evolution. Only realised when I later found my disc for the latter in the case for the former.

My thoughts exactly. Some of y'all need to stop acting like Nintendo or any company is your best friend who also happens to be your mom.
I posted about this before, but I bought Gran Turismo 2 brand new after midnight on launch night at Walmart. Opened it in the car. It was plastic wrapped and even had the old CD jewel case sticker along the top (remember those?) unbroken. Inside was the manuals and some beat up 2 disc live Bruce Springsteen CDs. Don't know if it was done at the disc pressing factory or somewhere in distribution, but it definitely does happen. I felt extremely lucky Walmart believed me and exchanged it or I would have been hosed.
People don't need to defend Nintendo over it. Dunno about Nintendo's games but I think most games are actually outsourced and pressed by a third party company, not necessarily at the console manufacturers factories.

Not really.

Sounds like single mama and her f*** buddy accidentally put the wrong disc in her daughter's Splatoon case and no it's gotten way out of hand.

Like others have said, it is completely possible but from such a rag, who knows if this particular case is true.
I myself have been a victim of a new sealed case being emptied and resealed. Throwing a useless DVD in there before sealing it is one small extra step to make the theft more believable and harder to immediately notice

It doesn't matter. If it's in the Sun, it's utter bollocks.
They do not deserve your clicks.
The source of the story is from the local Ohio news station.
Oh boy.
I wonder how much the OP would have cared if it had been a non pornographic DVD.
I mean are we talking straight to DVD Seagal flicks or something like a Hitchcock film? Or what if it was a screener for Moana? Would there be outrage?

What a weird thread. No you can't trust The Sun, and yes stuff like this does happen.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
This is far more likely.
This one of the reasons why I like the original and true packaging just to be left alone. I can understand that stuff like this could still happen, but it would be pretty impossible.
Also, like others in this thread have said and what is stated on the FAQs on the official Nintendo website, the Wii U can't play DVDs or Blu-rays.

I bought a copy of Mario Galaxy that had some random DVD in the case. I'm not really sure how that happened but I was lucky the staff at the store let me return it and actually get a copy of the game.
No it isn't. Why would they go to the press with that?

Now I kinda wonder what a splatoon porno would be like
The internet is a real place...I assume you can just Google it to find out, sadly.
I feel like it will culminate in "I'm gonna INK!!!"
The Sun = Murdoch = Australian Geriatric that made shouting at clouds a billion dollar business to a point were it can get people elected/impeached for (not) shouting with them at said cloud = I don't care due to Murdoch.
