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.

While i respect that this is your opinion, just wanted to point out how I never understand people that say this. For lack of a better description it usually comes off to me as "well, since nintendo doesn't have it, I will just hate it so I don't care".

Every nintendo game, actualy scratch that, every game has some sort of trophy/achievement/milestone system in place. Like getting a certain number of coins in a mario game, or all the hearts in a zelda game, or the added things like beating the game in a certai time or a certain way or killing a boss without getting touched..etc.

All trophies/achievements does is that they take those in game milestones (that is usually put there to challenge a player or act as a tracker for a games completion status) and builds a ssytem around them that makes it possible to at a glance see everything you have or could have done in a game and compare with your friends if you want to. How any of this can be a bad thing is beyond me. There are bad implementations of trophies/achievements (grind based stuff) but I think overall it gives more than it takes.

To OP: This is a joke thread right?

You're right. But, in game challenges are fun to do. Thropies most of the time are totally worthless. You can cut out half of the list, in almost all games. Like the ones that are auto completed when you finish a level. That is gonna happen no matter what. Then the other dumb half is trhopies that are so hard to do, no ones does them. Especially online required ones. Here's a dumb trophie example. Lego Marvel Superheroes: Do all transformations for the Big Lego characters. (Hulk, Red Hulk, Stan Hulk) Really? I get a throphie that I'm gonna need to do anyway at some point. By just playing the game. A good thropie is: rescue Stand Lee in every level. Most of the time we're spammed with the dumb ones. Like you cleared this level. You beat this boss. That's the issue.
