Wii U Achievements/Trophies

No real surprise that it's called an "Accomplishent" -- that's the same nomenclature as on 3DS. I don't think there will be any quantitative value assigned to each one either. Probably like Steam Achievements.
Would definitely be cool to get rewarded in some kind of Wii U variation on Play Coins, however. You can't walk around with one so you earn them by actually playing games.

I would have had Coins for normal ones, have Yellow worth 1, and Red and Blue are worth 2 and 5 respectively iirc, and then have a Star as their version of a Platinum Trophy.
From memory there were Silver and Purple coins too in some games, plenty of options for Nintendo to have difficulty or rareness according to coin colour.
I don't like a numerical value attached to the accomplishments. The XBOX achievement scores got so ridiculous once they added DLC achievements. No uniformity whatsoever.
But I think there should be one icon (gold cup, silver cup) or percentage (like ps3) assigned to each game indicative of the overall progress. Just something for the completionist out there or for friendly comparisons between friends.

Only if it happens every time you grab one.
I would have liked this. "Accomplishments" doesn't roll off the tongue well, and sounds too much like Achievements.

I would not want coins. It's confusing enough with Club Nintendo. Plus, those red coins are evil. Hate collecting those bad boys. 
I do wish they would make a little channel or whatever the Wii U is getting where we can browse our trophies like that trophy room that I don't think ever showed up with Home.

I am surprised they're not going with something more Nintendo themed. I hope Accomplishments, especially if they start using them on the 3DS for games, had up to bonuses like Play Coins, or Hats for the Plaza.

Hopefully they aren't as horribly organized as trophies. I love achievements though.

Miyamoto says: No new 3DS model.
*New 3DS model announced*.
Miyamoto says: No achievement system.
*Accomplishments leaked*.
Miyamoto seems clueless on what's going on at Nintendo. Anyway, it should have been called Stars.

Not sure where I'm going to be able to find this, but I have a feeling that the "Achievement" in regards to system wide level scoring rewards may be patented. Valve, Blizzard (and pretty much anyone else) can get away with it because their thing isn't a "system applied to a hardware level".

Yeah, I think he's not bothered with coming up with "no comment" statements so he just outright lies.
Good for him.

Or.. maybe they follow their own schedule of when to make this information public?

Or he's old.
With all the bleeping and blooping that goes on in Nintendo games, you'd never know when an achievement went off anyway.

Coin- bronze
Red Coin- silver
Yoshi Coin- gold
Star- platinum
Or some shit

Aye, they just keep around because of a contractual agreement that he has to stay until he dies, old Miyamoto just wanders around pissing his trousers, checks for change in the vending machines and signs the odd autograph for fans.
boiled goose
good with gravy
MP3 on wii had achievements. Hell even SSBM on gamecube had achievements.
More recently Xenoblade has ahievements.
The question is whether it is a centralized unified system or remain game specific.
shoulda said trophies

I wish they were called "Pats on the back" or "Thumbs up"
Or "Awesomes"
"You killed 1,000 enemies - Awesomes!"

Eh I don't really mind, I couldn't care less about achievements-esque stuff but I guess this should satiate some people.

You're even about 10 years late.As others have mentioned, they've dabbled in this already:
The father of the current achievements system used by MS and Sony, and it's still the best one too since it actually rewards the player with in-game content (in the case of this game, Kirby Air Ride, new stages, vehicles and game modes). Some would even argue it appeared back in SSBM but there wasn't a checklist system when you see the goals until Brawl.
It should be a standard for all the games with rich content. A globalised system like the achievements and trophies isn't as much interesting.
"SHINE GET : Kill all the aliens in sector 6"it should have been called SHINE GET
:lol
Needs something neutral. Accomplishments is okay.

Maybe it should be the sound of an explosion, to stand out against the wacky Nintendo sound effects.
1 point bullet being shot
5 points grenade explosion
100 points for atom bomb
If you want to go even further back, the GameBoy Camera rewarded you with Album B pictures for meeting certain requirements. However there was unless you kept track of the stats you'd have no idea why you unlocked certain images.
definitely this. kirby's air ride, brawl, kid icarus uprising all have fantastic achievement systems.
achievements rewarding you with in game content = awesome
achievements awarding "gamerscore" or something akin to that = completely meaningless
my opinion, at least.

Disagree.
I am absolutely not a trophy-whore. I have not one single platinum. However, the quickest way to get me to not care about your achievement system is to not have any overall score, level, or maybe reward associated with it. Doesn't feel like there's any "point" to doing them. It's like getting the high-score on an offline-only game. Who gives a shit. That's why that, other than the sale promotions, I have mostly ignored Steam achievements.
Yes, I know that my gamerscore and trophy level are mostly meaningless but personally it gives me a sense of progression. It helps me to care a little. And caring about the goals is what makes them fun to try to do.

Agreed. Without a sense of completion I wouldnt try nearly as hard to get any achievements/trophies.
Also agree with the people saying that they shouldnt use Nintendo icons as their accomplishments.

You're joking, right? I'm sorry it's hard to tell on the internet. If not, then he wouldn't have commented at all, it's not like such an influential character would just randomly start lying.
I don't follow what that's got to do with anything? Are you saying that Miyamoto didn't know that Nintendo were working on a new 3DS model and the achievements? That's ridiculous!
