Wii Won’t Have System-Wide Achievements

Forget about an achievement system like that of the PlayStation 3 for the Wii U, as Nintendo won’t have a system-wide achievement structure.

According to Eurogamer, the Scribblenauts Unlimited developers made this announcement: each Wii U game is responsible for creating user accomplishment awards.

5th Cell’s Jeremiah Slaczka says, “There are no Wii U accomplishments that are system-wide. Scribblenauts Unlimited loosely has them in the form of ‘Global Shards’, a giant check list of global things to spawn and do in the game that aren’t area specific.”

Nintendo has mentioned before that it plans to include a similar achievement structure in its Wii U launch titles, New Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo Land.

You’ll be able to comment and post about your achievements on Nintendo’s Wii social network, the MiiVerse – but it won’t be in line with a structured achievements system.

The Wii U launches in Europe on 30 November – just under three weeks from now.
