ZombiU is the most unfortunately named great game. It's creepy, atmospheric, and you don't run through mowing down zombies, you have to be careful, deliberate and smart.
I for one believe that Wii mini does make sense. It's a budget console for families that maybe will play 3-4 games on it. A lot of people don't use the VC and, of course, a lot of people don't have GC games. And if you are going to pay 200$ for the regular Wii you might as well go all the way up to the Wii U (Does the regular Wii cost that? I'm making it up... It costs 160€ here with a game so in this case the Wii mini would make no sense at all)
