Nintendo Achievement System for Retros

Nintendo needs to do an achievement system for all of their retro games. The NES and SNES era games were tough, especially the NES era, so therefore making the achievements all the sweeter

They do not. Achievements are dumb.MonsieurX

I came here to write just that but you already did so......+1

Seriously, I'm happy not to have any Achievements system on the Wii U and I hope it remains that way.

Agree

It's complete idiocy that people don't want achievements.

These people also don't like high scores or competition so...........

I'm not saying on all games. I'm thinking just for the NES/SNES era games. I think it'll help add to the experience of replaying them on the Wii U. Like how badass are you if you have manged to get to Level 2 on Platoon, or managed to beat Goro on MK.

Old enough to understand that you're unable to have a rational conversation about this.

So let's see, there's a way to add challenge and replayability to games and make more people interested in them at zero cost.

Not doing that is idiocy.

It Nintendo was to implement such a system, it would only make sense to start with the larger retail titles first. Regardless of how challenging most retro games are, to add a feature with those games being the focal point isn't very realistic. If the Wii is any indication, the VC games won't be anywhere near as popular as the Wii U's high profile offerings (assuming the system ever picks up and gets any), so it would be a waste to highlight games that only an extreme minority would be active players.

In any case, I wouldn't hold my breath. This should have been one of those things Nintendo had available for the Wii U at launch if they were going to use it, and it's just too difficult to predict what Nintendo is trying to do these days to actually get excited about such a thing.

No achievements please. Developers should spend their time on improving their games in other areas. Achievements are stupid.

[QUOTE="TxTech1923"][QUOTE="Tonindo"]No, and that's part of the problem. Because it's so easy and cheap to make, achievements have replaced the far superior system of in-game unlockables.

OK, please tell me how this is time and work, tell me what you think happens

Jasonguy: I'm not sure I follow. What I wrote is fairly self-explanatory.

[QUOTE="TxTech1923"][QUOTE="Tonindo"]But why add something that takes more time and work when gamers are perfectly content with developers giving them virtual thumbs up? Hmm.

[QUOTE="TxTech1923"] Your anecdotal evidence doesn't overturn how popular achievements are, nor did you provide anything that says they take away from other developments. Add another to the list of whiners who just don't want anyone to enjoy things if they don't.TxTech1923

Jasonguy: I'm not sure I follow. What I wrote is fairly self-explanatory.

True, although I do believe that achievements also have had an impact on unlockables.

Tonindo

Maybe... but look at it this way. In the case of retro titles, which is what the TC is referring to, those games have been developed long ago. Even if what you're saying has some truth to it, it wouldn't hurt those games to have some sort of reward system in place. Plus, there are games that give achievements/trophies for unlocking things, so it's not something that compromises all unlockables, even if does for some (which can't really be proven).

I can understand your point of view, but if you're going to be concerned about something, let it be about developers just getting lazy and not wanting to offer enough value in their games. Effort's going to be an issue, regardless of if achievement/trophies/etc. are part of the equation or not.

Except it's full of fail and you're connected to fail because you quoted that

How does that make you feel?

Want to go back and understand that achievements add a level to games at no cost that brings in players and increases overall revenue or are you happy to be a failure?

Choice is yours.

not unless theres some reward for earning these achievements like hats and clothes to dress up Miis. Imagine your Mii dressed in monster hunter armor

Don't really care if achievements get implemented. They don't really add anything to my gaming experience, but they don't take anything away either.

While there are some examples of good times achievements were done right but alot of the time it HURTS games FACT. (Jasonguy i'm talking to you) A dev says we were going to have a 16 hour campaign but nah just make it 10 hours and add in HARD achievements that will take you those 6 hours to get. Achievments on Wii U get a nay nay from me.

That never happens, ever.

I know many people at many different studios, achievements and trophies, and even Steam achievements come in at the end of a game. It's not in the planning phase at all.
