Wii needs achievements!

I think they do...Xbox and Playstation have them so why not Wii. One if the top reasons I play xbox games are for achievements. They keep me motivated to play the game. I've never bothered to play through Wii games more than once because I don't see a reason to.

Anyone else agree?

Please don't flame... it's only a suggestion

No

I want devs to make good games for the Wii, not to make crappy games but bribe people to play them with stupid rewards.

Achievements would be good. Really there is no negative to them so why not? Huuuh Jason? You didnt give me a good reason.

You don't want good games?

You'd rather a dev has that crutch to work with?

I guess we're different then, I look for quality

The Wii needs achievements like the ones in SSBB and The Conduit where the rewards are more than a number (still have points but also get game art and unlockables) but for every game not just the few that have good developers.

You don't want good games?

You'd rather a dev just finish the game and not add some flair?

I guess we're different then, not only do I look for quality I look for fun.

That is exactly why I don't want them.

Seriously, that's just...

Still achievements or not, they are bad games.

If they use them as a crutch thats too bad just do not buy them.

Its not a good reason not to have them esp when there is the possibility they will do good achievements. SSBB has achievements that are better than any system of achievements I have seen.

If Wii games used that as a standard it would be better than having no achievements and way better than XBL style of achievements.

Either way not wanting a feature that affects you in no wayis selfish because it does not affect you.

I hate achievements. There are only two categories that they fall under:

1. Stuff that is just part of a normal playthrough on a game, rendering them pointless; or

2. Stuff I don't really want to do but do anyway because my perfectionist side compels me to do them.

I feel much more free when playing Wii games, as a result. :P

YES, YES, AND YES!!!!

Wii could use some form of achievement system.

I don't know how many times I have to say this before you get it.

Metroid Corruption had achievements, it was a kick-*** game.

There is NO CONNECTION AT ALL between the presence of achievements and game quality.

ya they should think of something like achievements and trophies, and for the people who don't want them you don't have to get the achievmets( are whatever)

so you must be blind if you dont see quality games for the Wii

BTW what does mean quality games for you??please answer, dont be shy

IMO achievements are useless, for good or bad games, useless, I dont play to get trophies i only play to have fun

trophys work terribly on the PS3, acheivments create cheaters on xbox. so kindly take your ideas elsewhere

The game should be fun enough on its own to keep you motivated. If you need achievements to keep you interested, then the game isn't that fun to begin with, is it?

I don't need some stupid messages to motivate me from finishing a game.

looking at achievements in that way i must say YES, but instead of callingSSBB reward/checklist achievements i rather call them unlockables

online achievements to prove certains kinds of task are just.. not funny??

it doesnt hurt to have them but it also doesnt make a game more fun to play

No. I have a 360 and I think achievements are useless. If thats your only motivation to play games, I don't understand why. Its useless and people lived without them before Microsoft came into the market.Haziqonfire

at least they help to raise the ego and statusof people without a real life

If you don't like them, then don't go for them. Just don't let that stop you from buying good games.

I'd rather be motivated through excellent gameplay.

It needs it and quickly, especially 3rd party games and it has been shown games with better achievements, sell more.

Some people look at achievements for the wii and ask Why not. I look at achievements for the wii and ask Why. I just...don't get it. I've never felt like I achieved anything from the little thing coming up telling me I've done something that I never cared about in the first place.Arc2012

Even if someone doesn't like them, doesn't force them to try and achieve them. Nothing wrong with having the option, i was first skeptical about them but they are great.

We need an actual on-line service first. Hell there is only Mario Kart Wii that i can actually stand playing on-line. And there is only a hand-full of games that actually have ANY functional online componant. BoloTheGreat

Actually i haven't try Brawl online sincelate last year, it was still unplayable here in Australia.

There is absolutely no need for the wii to have an achievement system. If individual games do so, and it works well with the game, then that's great. But the truth is that we've had these for a long time now and were just calling them unlockables (as a earlier poster said).

But an overall achievement system for the wii would not be beneficial. It simply encourages people to buy crappier games in order to simply get more achievements. And this IS a problem! Do we really want another 10,000 people to buy ninjabread man just so they can get some achievements? That will only encourage them to make another one.:shock:

No

Ahh, another achievement thread. "No it will ruin games" "Nuh uh it is just something extra". Devs should just try it a little and see how people accept it.

No, the Wii should be free of the huge pile of pointless crap that is achievements.

That makes me sad to hear.
