I should add that given that hardcore Wii games sell over the long term, word of mouth is very important. If this game turns out shoddy, that would hurt long term sales. And considering the RE games on the Wii took months to reach platinum, that's a risk I doubt Capcom is taking with this game.
Now you may thing, "But it's being made a low cost. Of course it will make a profit."

Capcom wants to expand their western sales. Zombie games sell in the west. Even if this game is almost guaranteed to make money, it's also meant to help in this goal. If they can successfully port HD games to the Wii, that means more sales, and this game is just the first step in that.
I could be wrong, but it just seems likely Capcom wants this game to be good, since all the core Wii gamers would easily help expand their western presence. Core 360 and PS3 owners too, but all three at once are better.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
