Nintendo patents an achievement system, along with in game recording

[fleischr]

I guess I'm one of the few that really can take or leave achievements. I like deciding for myself what gameplay experiences are really worth pushing for rather than prioritize by gamer points.

I remember scoring oodles of gamer points just by playing Kinect Adventures for a few hours -- just as many if not more than as several dozen hours in Minecraft or Skyrim.

I'll welcome the system if it does arrive, but won't be too let down if it doesn't. If they do it, I hope it has some kind of meaningful Miiverse link.
