IMO Wii U has the very worst version of multiplats. No achievements/trophies = bad game to me.

I'm the opposite, Trophies/Achievements take away from games for me. I hope Nintendo never embraces them.

Interesting perspective. Why do you think that? Many games have achievement/trophy-like elements, including many Nintendo games I'm sure. They're just called different things in each game. I think achievements/trophies can be poorly implemented in games, which makes getting them a grind and a chore and take away from the enjoyment of the game. But in many cases they are a worthy challenge and add to the game. Unfortunately too many games have either auto-trophies, which simply get awarded as you progress through the game, so they are pretty meaningless, or they reqire hours of mindless grinding. So most developers have not figured out the optimum way of implementing trophies. But I like them as a concept.

I personally find them distracting, immersion-breaking, and patronizing. It's like getting a pat on the head every time I do something right.
