hmm don't play online, so most of my games are for wii

they have the better offline games.  the hd systems games lose their value HUGELY if you take out online multiplayer.  short storylines and half the time no local multiplayer of anykind.  Thus they get reduced to renting


Uncharted 2 disagrees (except for the local multiplayer part) but what games on wii have significantly longer campain than HD systems?

anything under 20 hours i will not buy, unless it has of course amazing multiplayer OFFLINE, such as smash bros, or infinite replayability co-op such as nsmb/donkey kong.  

not going to go into a list, cause i've learned that people on gaming forums somehow manage to have like min 50 games on each system and i can't imagine how they can spend that much money.  so listing games i own will seems small and you could probably name more for ANY system that has that many over 20 hours.  

it comes down to choices, when i am going to buy a game, i have a choice of spending $50 for say fire emblem, or $60 for say Star Ocean 4.  I have to chose 1, i can't get both.  And in those choices it seems more often than not a game on the Wii has won.  Is the $10 difference a big swayer?  possibly.  FYI, i own both star ocean 4 and fire emblem was just throwing games in for example of two long games on differeing systems.  if they were out same time, i woudl have bought one first, then some time later went to buy the other one, BUT at that time a new game say Zelda may have been released and then its down to Star ocean or zelda.  You get my drift.  PS3 or 360 games may have many 20 hour plus games i want, but not as bad as games on wii that i wanted when it came choice time.
