WII achievements.

[mr obscure]

Am i the only 1 that misses achievements or trophies for the wii?
Im really missing this and hope the next gen nintendo will have some.

[scottw182]

I do too. I'm not an achievement whore, but I do enjoy gettting the achievements for my favorite games, it adds something extra to the game to complete.

[Flippy8490]

Achievements are fun. They do add a nice dimension of replayability (once to beat the game, then again to beat the game with all achievements). I do think they should take a different approach with it though, the Wii isn't for the "achievement whores" like the Xbox 360 tends to be.

[Snapple]

I am a little bit of a trophy whore. I might buy more Wii games if they had an achievement-type system.

[Therealqtip]

Maybe next gen nintendo won't dissapoint me, but they'd rather print money. Its whatever, brah.

[Kitsune Sniper]

One game, at least, has goals: SNK Arcade Classics. These goals are present in the PS2, PSP and Wii versions of the game.

But that's the only one I can think of.

[Sanriostar]

Both volumes of Pinball Classics (Williams and Gottlieb) have achievements.
Williams' can be obtained with about 2 hours of game play.
Gottlieb? Geez. Pack a lunch. Some are easy (Goin' Nuts, Genie, Sharp Shot), and some are impossible (I'm looking at you, Strikes and Spares).
What bugged me was that Black Hole, the table I got the disc for, is one of the last tables to be unlocked. So I sad 'F-- this!' and got the code off Gamefaqs. (it's 'LIS', BTW...)

If Nintendo ever decides to do something like this, I do hope they stay original.

Something that I'd like to see done is a personal room, perhaps similar to Playstation Home. However, unlike home, it'd be based on unlockables rather than furniture items. For example, if you beat Metroid: Other M 2, you get a Samus poster to put on the wall of your room. If you beat it 100%, you'd get a gold plaque to go underneath the poster. If you found a secret in the game, you'd get a figurine of Samus to put on your table. It'd be similar for any game.

Instead of having some lousy number to compare to others, you'd have a virtual room full of stuff that you've earned.

MegaMan 9 has achievements. I'd be willing to bet MegaMan 10 will too.

I could see this as a downloadable channel. Just, basically, an empty box with a few little things in it from the get go, similar to how the players room works in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal.

Would you really want that? Every minute you spend reading "you got X item" notices, placing them in your virtual room, and admiring said room is time you could instead spend actually playing a game.

Some people like customization.

I think that's a good, creative idea.

Admiring a room gets old. It'll give us more of an incentive to play the games, since playing and beating them would add more and more to the room.

That sounds so vapid. Call me old-fashioned, but I think if you need an outside incentive to play a game, what you really need to do is play a better game.

[BetaWolf47]

Unlockables have been an incentive for playing games for a long time now. Whether the unlockables are part of the game or part of some gallery shouldn't make that big of a difference. Things have changed a lot. For instance, people are now buying games for reasons other than playing them. I'm not one of them, however.

[Damaramu]

I wish the Wii had little gamer placards like XBLA/PSN. That way I can give my friends shit for playing My Little Pony: Cupcake Jamboree or Barbie - Mani/Pedi Adventures.

Scratch all this. I found one.

[Snapple]

I hate Playstation Home, and I don't really want to waste my time decorating a Wii home. If I get Wii achievements, I just want them to appear on my profile so I can show them off, like trophies. Adding the extra pointless step of adorning the achievements in your room like posters or furniture is to me just a waste of time.

[Nebagram]

(Brawl has a sort-of trophy system btw) Whilst I admit at the start I was in the 'achievements are crap, play for the game for the sake of playing it' camp I'm now rather fond of achievements and trophies and the Wii could definitely benefit from them. I was asked to think recently about 'my 5 greatest achievements' and I immediately thought 'fuck, 2 of them are on PS1, 1 on the the DC, 1 on the Wii and 1 on the DS*' which kinda made defining the achievements a little ambiguous. So just for that sake alone I'd say yes, Nintendo should add them.

*1. Completing FFVII in under 24 hours. 2. Getting a thought-to-be impossible time on the bowl track on Rollcage. 3. Maxing out and unlocking everything on Soul Calibur... twice. 4. 242 stars on Super Mario Galaxy. 5. 150 stars and everything unlocked on Mario 64 DS.

Now that I think about it, so does Scribblenauts.

[Fuyukaze]

I could care less if they get any trophies or achievements. I play it for the game, not the extra crap that feels useless. After playing my 360 for half a year, I just dont see the point of them and frankly I'd rather they focus more on the games.

I initially was the opposite. I remember when I first got a Wii and it logged the number of hours spent on each game. When I played a PS2 game I sometimes logged it on my Wii. Then after some update, it deleted most of the things on my calendar :(. When I got a 360, I felt sad not getting gamerscore/achievements for games for other consoles. Whats odd is how many other systems use the achievement system, from iPhone games, Xbox live Indie games (which really should count towards gamerscore) and I do know at least one Wii game - The House Of The Dead Overkill
