The game copying devices are used to copy and play Nintendo DS titles that can be downloaded online and the mod chips allow play or pirated software on Wii hardware.
In a statement, Nintendo said the Supreme Factory Limited has ties to the French company Divineo SARL and its principal Max Louarn, who are named in legal action by Nintendo.
"Piracy affects the entire video game industry, from large companies to independent developers," says Jodi Daugherty, Nintendo of America's senior director for anti-piracy.
"It can destroy years of hard work by a team of very talented software developers, who strive to create games consumers enjoy playing. Copying the developers' work and spreading the game files globally is blatant stealing."
In 2005, Nintendo was awarded more than $5 million in damages from Hong Kong High Court against import company Lik Sang, which sold game copying devices.
Wii has shipped nine million units worldwide and has become a mass market hit in global territories. The Nintendo DS handheld has shipped more than 40 million units worldwide.
