Wii mini is just to collect.
I wanted to get a blue wii last year during the holiday season and held off and now I can't find one for a cheap price in my area. I have a red wii that is soft modded with a hard drive and I play all my games through the USB loader and use it for Nes and snes emulalors when I just want to play a quick game of something old school.
My girlfriend got me the mini as she knew I wanted one just to have but that I wouldn't spend my $$ on one.
She also got me the nes games. My games are alphabetized and she took the time to go through my collection and then find some games on kijiji and at a a local flea market that I didn't already have. I knew something was up because my nes games all of a sudden were not flush with the front end of the shelf and I'm pretty anal about that. It was still a surprise as to which games I was getting though.
Up to 404 Licensed NES games now. Hoping for a full set minus stadium events some day. Going to be a while before I get there though. Still have alot of expensive titles to get.

So it took an hour and a half for my Wuu (I'm calling I that, deal with it) to "update" last night right out of the box, then I go to start Netflix 5 minutes ago and it tells me that it's updating again. Ahhhhhhh, WTF?!
Not to mention that navigating menus and anything web-based is like using a 486 with a 28K modem. Why on Earth is it so damned slow?!
Also, the interface is clunky, sloppy, and not much to look at.
And massive amounts of overscan.
Aaaaaaaand it freezes with alarming regularity.

Similar issues I had and similar complaints. The menu load times are flat out unacceptable, at least Iwata addressed the community stating a patch is in the works to fix this. Also, it's just as bad as the PS3 with everything needing updates every time you wish to use it.
To be honest, call it sheer lack of games I wish to play, lack of wow factor or even lack of achievement system (damn you nintendo) but my WiiU just collects dust at the moment.

This is probably the only thing that would get me to invest in a WiiU right now...but alas...tis fake.
