10 things We Want From Wii U

If there’s one word that can be used to describe Nintendo’s Wii U, it’s ‘potential.’ The console has already proven it’s packed with plenty of great ideas. Just look at the diverse applications of the GamePad, ranging from Nintendo Land’s asynchronous multiplayer experiences to ZombiU’s core gameplay integration. Controller aside, Nintendo’s notion of a built-in social network just might change the way gamers connect with one another, and how developers can communicate with their fans.

Still, not every launch goes perfectly. Over the past couple weeks, we’ve noticed a variety of things that the system is lacking, ranging from critical hardware functionality to having definitive proof that key franchises are on the way. With that in mind, here are the ten things we’d most like to see in the coming weeks and months.

I would literally run out to buy a Wii U right this instant if a new Earthbound released on it today!

I want a trophy/achievement system, more character space for Miiverse messaging and Virtual Console titles available from the Wii U menue (basically I want Wii functionality built into the Wii U interface without having to switch modes).

I want a trophy/achievement system

YES, YES, YES!!! I wouldn't make a big stink about it, but Reggie said "We'll have all that" when asked about a trophy system by Geoff Keighley in an E3 2012 interview. I don't care what a person's position is on trophies/achievements, Reggie said Wii U would have them, and he lied. I'd like if someone got a petition going to get Nintendo to implement them. People are constantly posting their achievements to Miiverse, and a trophy system would make it much easier.
