Do you think Nintendo will create their own trophy/achievement system for the Wii U?

Facts to consider:

- Achievements and trophies are a big success with sites devoted to them and leading to players to be very devoted to a system;

- Nintendo had the chance to introduce such reward system with the 3DS launch, but chose not to.

- With the Wii U, Nintendo wants to cater to the hardcore fanbase they lost to PS3/360 with the Wii. Would adding achivement/trophy-like system help with it?

The Wii U will most likely have their own achievement type thing with their own unique twist that Nintendo will put, and probably after the Wii U is release they will implement the same thing with the 3DS in a firmware update or something. It will be cool to implement the streetpass in the achievement somehow.



Nintendo and PC gamer

I really hope that Nintendo does not go down that road but with the Nintendo Network coming they probably will.



I don't care if Nintendo does this at all, just as long as they take care of the most important things first.



 

 

 

Before Wii U was shown (but already known) last year I was thinking they'd come up with a similar system calling them "milestones".
They said they don't want these in their games because it's up to the player to explore the full game and make up own challenges (I actually did that with every game I loved before this generation - collecting 100%, doing the full handicap/hardest difficulty win, funny things like exploring the map, getting to the highest spot etc.). I respect that. But they said they want to make their system open for developers, not like Microsoft controlling every step. I guess 3rd party games will have achievement-like awards that might be tied to your Wii U profile. But that's all. Maybe it's even just a publisher thing (Ubisoft already has their own weird rewards thing in games; don't know about others).

I hope that they do it. After being a Huge Nintendo fan until the age of 22, I grew accustomed to the achievements on other systems that have them.

So now that I have regained my youthful company I would love to have some Achievement things on the Wii U.



I chose Other because I honestly don't think it matters that much.



If they want to compete against sony and microsoft it would make sense to do so.



I hope the do.



I don't care about that stuff on my PS3 and I probably won't care about it on WiiU either.
