Forums - Nintendo - Wii U won’t make Achievements Mandatory for all games.

For you guys wanting an achievement like system, it's there. It's simply up to developers to utilize it or not.

Good. Mandatory standardized achievements are a silly idea anyway.



To me it makes no sense too... just a reminder that your left your game incomplete, which hurts sometimes.

But, oh well, if it's that important, devs will just copy the other systems achievements for the game and there you go.
I just hope there's a way to hide the pop-in.

This is the perfect way to do it. Some games are built around the concept of achievements better than others, and nothing annoys me more than:

1) *Starts new file* = Achievement unlocked!
2) *Gets through tutorial* = Achievement unlocked!
3) *Gets to second level* = Achievement unlocked!

Those aren't achievements, they're ways for insecure gamers to feel better about themselves with bloated gamerscores. The other 99.99% of gamers don't give a crap about these stupidly placed achievements.

*Died ten times.*

*Finishing level without finding any secrets*

*Finished level on 1 HP*

Yes! These achievement systems are dumb as hell.

But I fear some developers will include this in their games anyway.

Just curious, but why would you fear that? If they added trophies/achievements to a game what is the big negative? I have never understood this sentiment.

 

Having them hurts nobody, meanwhile by not having them it could potentially turn people away.

Some acheivements are ok in my book, but overall uneccessary since people will be too focused on acomplishing that little part in the game and forget about what the true purpose of playing the game...Having fun. But thats just me. Highscores are are kinda similar but games like Tetris are made for that.

Great news. Achievements are a joke.

"Nice Jump!" You pushed the X botton, and you jumped!



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

How am I supposed to show people my epeen?!
Why Nintendo!? WHY?!!!



I have mixed feelings about this ...

If most achievements were actually meaningful (if they were like the "cheat unlocks" in N64's goldeneye) then I think that this would be unfortunate, but being that the standardized achievement systems give away half their achievements for having a pulse they tend to be pretty pointless.

I know you are being faceitious but some people still are missing something here so I'll answer your question for their benefit.

2 ways.  If the developers want to utilize the accomplishment system, they can so you'll have your listing that way.   The games will also be linked into MiiVerse which means your epeen will be seen if you want it to be.

I'd imagine multiplats will have them by default, given they're a necessity on the other platforms.

But then I might be giving certain third party developers a bit too much credit with that basic assumption...
