Well, don't expect an achievement system for the Wii U. Nintendo has a whole philosophy against it.

That's unfortunate. Could you please post a link to a source for this?

It seems Wii U actually WILL have an achievements system. But top game designers in the company didn't want that. Unlike Microsoft, they won't REQUIRE games to include it. It should work just like in 3DS.

The third link doesn't add much information, since it's only an opinion article, but it enforces Nintendo's position.

I love achievements, but I don't think I'd complain if Wii U didn't have an achievements system, given the opinions their game designers have about it. They have decades of experience and know what they're talking about. In fact, I often stop really playing and enjoying a game in order to complete an achievement, which is nothing more than a completely superficial reward. Digital applauses are a better way to reward a player for doing something great? Well, that's for you to guess.
