Support NeoGAF

[Chiaroscuro]

There are too many WiiU threads at the moment, but I could not find this info (maybe it is buried in the posts). How is the WiiU implementation of achievements/trophies (the accomplishments)? Are they visible in a public profile or something? Which launch titles support this feature?

 

[Reclaimer]

There are no system wide achievements.

It would have to be implemented on a per game basis, like Metroid Prime collection on Wii.

Also, google search brings up more info.

Achievement unlocked: there are none

 

[Kyzer]

There is none.

 

[Sexually Aggressive Uncle]

How what?

 

[ferr]

There is none.

but how will I know how well I'm doing??!

 

[Czigga]

Pretty confident they'll be added in the future. But yeah no system wide as of now

 

[EternalGamer]

I have been playing Mario for about 10 hours and have not seen any achivement like things. Are they buried somewhere?

 

[goldsoundz]

I don't even know what the OP is asking. Move some words around in the thread title or something.

 

[thekonamicode]

I feel quite accomplished. Two days without a hard lockup!

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

They are amazing! I love them and have 3 so far.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Its nice to want things.

 

[Sexually Aggressive Uncle]

Pretty confident they'll be added in the future.

So they'll feel as half assed as they do on the PS3. Fabulous.

 

[freddy]

Scribblenauts supposedly has them but I can't say for sure.

Self-satisfaction on completing a great game is your accomplishment.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

How do I shot accomplishments?

So you didn't read the original post?

My main irk about the Wii U is lack of a System wide trophy/achievement feature.

I guess it could always be added like PS3's.

 

[Etzer]

Very really.

 

[Jomjom]

Achievement unlocked: Your Wii U survived the update process without bricking.

 

[Nester]

No one cares about collecting achievements on the WiiU. Everyone is too busy collecting "Yeah's" by drawing outstanding art in the Miiverse. That's our addiction.

 

[Wrestlemania]

Are they completely gone in multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed and Black Ops 2?

 

[codhand]

 

[D_prOdigy]

They were in your heart the whole time.

 

[sevenchaos]

I believe they could easily implement system wide achievements... through Miiverse.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I have been playing Mario for about 10 hours and have not seen any achivement like things. Are they buried somewhere?

Mario was supposed to have them according to Nintendo. I'm sort of getting the feeling that those turned out to be the little messages that you're able to post to Miiverse. Like catching Nabbit in under 20 seconds, taking no damage in a level or collecting all three coins in one run.

I hope they never add it. I'm sure there are plenty of people that want this but I'm not one of them. If they decide to go this route then I hope it's mostly non-intrusive like Steam's implementation with no arbitrary scores or points.

 

[mik83kuu]

How really are they? There are none? There is none? I can't find :-(

 

[ChuyMasta]

Zombi U...has some...

None System Wide for sure though.

 

[Mael]

Watching ZombiU playthrough I'm confident that that game have UPlay stuffs in it, I don't know if it's accomplishments or whatever...
Can't possibly be online multiplayer stuffs

Should have been the first post.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

It's all in game. So far the best comparison I've seen it to compare to how Gears of War shows how close you are to getting an achievement.

For example in game in NanoAssault neo there is an in game list, that just checks off as you complete.

It's okay, but I honestly don't miss it. As long as games do like what NSMBU does where I get extra content for completing a task. That's nice to have, in encourages me to do something I wouldn't normally go for, ie: getting all the coins.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

I have seen little mii personalized messages pop up through the miiverse on mario world map telling me so and so has accomplished something or other in the game.

If they kept a history of that for each player and flushed that out a bit more that could be pretty fun.

 

[Wiz]

Nintendo Land has accomplishments in the form of "stamps". So that's something.

 

[Randdalf]

Sometimes I think achievements are added by developers just to create more "content" in their game, when their actual game is rather light on content. Completionists are driven to complete the achievements but they add very little value to the end product.

I hope they never add it. I'm sure there are plenty of people that want this but I'm not one of them. If they decide to go this route then I hope it's mostly non-intrusive like Steam's implementation with no arbitrary scores or points.

I hope they add system wide achievements, not just to have them but so everyone can be happy and we won't have to talk about this anymore. I rather have system wide achievements then 6 years of people complaining.

 

[bdouble]

Are they completely gone in multiplatform games like Assassin's Creed and Black Ops 2?

No. Just like Wii games kn a per game basis there will be an achievment system inside the game. Afaik these games tie their unlocks and progression to those same achievements. They just are reported and recorded by Nintendo.

Yeah Steam's is brilliant.

No, it's not.

huh? how do they seem half-assed on ps3?

 

[Bizazedo]

The generational leap achieved by the Wii U required some sacrifices.

 

[hayguyz]

I hope achievements end with this gen.

 

[Haunted]

Self-satisfaction on completing a great game is your accomplishment.

So, no accomplishments at launch?

 

[SolidSnakex]

I hope achievements end with this gen.

They aren't going anywhere. Sony already implemented them into the Vita and they're a lock for the PS4 and next Xbox.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I kept reading in previous threads that third party games that already had them for other systems would put thrm into the WiiU versions.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Very really

 

[n-off]

you can stomp 100 or 10,000 goombas, you won't get a trophy for that. sorry!
