(haven't read thread so this isn't directed to anyone specific) 3rd parties are NOT going to make it any different than what they do with PS360. Wii U will have all the same achievement/trophy/Accomplishments as the rest. They may not tally up for gamerpoints or trophy totals... but you'll be able to see what you got per game and compare that with others. Probably just something in your global profile for "Accomplishments" where you can show it off and get epeen. |
The trophy/achievement system is an integrated API. All data from all games are in one place, you can sum points and make gamecards with collected data. If every game implement is of his own way, without a central server, you cannot obtain all data at once (actually, you can't obtain all data never), so it makes the idea completely impossible.
No points, no totals, nothing at your profile. That means no achievement system at all. I think it's still time for Ninty to implement this, it's never to late (PS got it some time after release), so it's more like "Wii U won't have a standardised Achievements system for now", and I believe they will see that it's a commonly requested feature and implement it in a future firmware update.
