WOOT!



While this document is likely true, we won't know for certain if these things are system-wide until we see them for another game.

Otherwise it could be just like Smash Bros. Brawl or Prime Trilogy, which had their own individual 'achievement' systems.

For the record, I hope if true of all Wii U games, they're optional. While I love the 360 to death, I don't like all the constant pressure to add to a cumulative score, or the constant reminders that X person got Y more points than me in Z game.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

now we just need it on 3DS



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

You said you were going to be in charge of making that thread when we do get achievements. Are you still going to do it? It will take years of your time.

Wow I don't even remember saying I'd do that- you've got mad memory haha

Give me a brief overview of what creating this thread would involve, and I'll tell you if I'm willing to create it or not :p

Accomplishments? That's kinda humorous. I remember when there were reports of Sony "ripping off" Achievements, the running joke was that'd they'd be called Accomplishments. Then Steam came along and straight up used used the term Achievements.

It's good to see Nintendo's going this route. All online platforms like this should have a standardized rewards system.



This is bound to happen, though I'm surprised they are not using the coin system.



I just want Nintendo to stick to the system where more Achievements unlocked = more content for the player. Metroid Prime Trilogy does this perfectly. All games should handle it that way.

I made a thread asking if Nintendo gamers should have their own achievement type of thread like Arcturus and NeoRatt have. Everyone said it was not possible at this time, but you sayd you would be willing to do it if it was possible. See their thread for an example.

Assuming the WiiU's achievements will be able to be sorted somehow in order of difficulty (ie gold, silver, bronze), then I'm still happy to make such a thread
