Lack of Wii achievements

– Craig’s editorial is “Wii Need Achievements”
– Craig says the first contribution to this generation was the Wiimote, then the achievement system
– Get everything recognized with achievements in one account
– If the Wii had an achievement system, Daemon admits he’d play it more
– Achievements add an extra incentive to play games
– Downside to the achievement system is that some of them are dumb, encouraged to do dumb things
– Achievements can sometimes entice people to play games they would usually not play
– Disney has something like an achievement system, Jack says if Disney can do it, Nintendo should be able to
– Many Wii games have individual achievements (example: Wii Sports Resort stamps, which is a good start)
– Some Wii fans are against the idea of achievements
