Xbox 360 started the craze, PS3's following suit with Home and now it looks like even the Wii is hoping on the achievement bandwagon.
According to one avid GameFAQs gamer who got to play the game, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features a "mini-achievement" system which dishes out coloured tokens for completing tasks.
Red tokens are awarded for scanning enemies/items, blue tokens for scanning lore and accomplishing side tasks and gold tokens are given for beating bosses on various difficulties. You can use tokens to unlock hidden content via an extras menu.
One example given is saving a pair of GF troopers from being killed, which pops up a blue token at the top of the screen for your "achievement".
The most interesting token of all is a "friends voucher", which you can send to your Wii comrades to unlock green tokens for both parties. Apparently this is more of a competition thing than unlocking actual game content.
Sounds great to us; we have an unhealthy obsession with 360's Gamerpoints. Will these Wii "tokens" make their way into Mario Galaxy and (chuckle) Wii Fit? We'll keep you posted.
