$100 Wii Mini launching in US this month
How curious it was that Nintendo originally only released the Wii Mini in Canada, last December. The shrunken, stripped-down console later launched across Europe in early 2013, but still not the US--or even Japan. Apparently now is the time, though, as Nintendo today announced the Wii Mini will arrive in US stores "by the middle of November" at $99.99.

One Benjamin would get you the red-framed black console, a red Wiimote Plus, a red Nunchuk, and a copy of Mario Kart Wii. Which sounds quite nice, until you realise what else it'll cost you.
The Wii Mini has no online support, no GameCube compatibility, no SD card slot, only one USB port, and fewer video output options. Still, many people won't need those or notice their absence.

What Wii exclusives are worth playing? I might pick one of these up if I'm missing a couple classics. What was the actiony RPG everyone was raving about two years ago?

DON'T BUY THIS VERSION OF THE WII!
Unless Nintendo has changed the model since the Canadian release, the Wii Mini does not support component cables and 480p. It can only output composite (yellow plug, 480i, NES had it in1985). So if you don't mind grainy, fuzzy, and washed out picture, then go ahead and get one of these.-

Yeah, forgot about no online, which means no Virtual Console, which is one of the best things about the Wii.
Regular Wii models for the past few years haven't had GC backwards compatibility either, so if the OP wants that, he'll have to go to craigslist. Unless he already owns a GC, he should definitely go that route. -

Even "normal" Wii's stopped being back compatible with Gamecube a couple of years ago. I found this out the hard way - I was waaaay late to the Wii party myself and only got one last year. I was very disappointed to find out they're not back compatible any more. :(
