There’s been a lot of talk about the possibility of system-wide accomplishments on Wii U. In the past, some developers have hinted that Nintendo may have implemented such functionality, but we finally have a confirmation that no such feature is in place.

5th Cell CEO Jeremiah Slaczka confirmed that Wii U games will only include accomplishments if the developers choose to add in the feature. Achievements aren’t mandatory for any title on the system.

According to Slaczka:

“There are no Wii U accomplishments that are system wide. They are up to the developers to include or not include. Scribblenauts Unlimited loosely has them in the form of ‘Global Starite Shards’ which is like a giant checklist of global things to spawn and do in the game that aren’t area specific.”

Nintendo’s Japanese Wii U update has been updated with a lengthy Q&A. Topics include hardware, backwards compatibility, Miiverse, the eShop, and more.

Head past the break for the full translation.

Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse (with first screenshots and details), New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, and Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

The issue arrives on newsstands on November 13 and has already started to reach subscribers.

A quick heads up: we’ve been doing maintenance on Nintendo Everything and Gaming Everything since Thursday. Both sites are still being worked on. If you see anything peculiar (mainly for those who aren’t logged in), don’t worry about it – things should be back to normal soon.
