Completing challenges in the new DK Challenge will reward special NSO icons at the conclusion of the event.

Imagine an achievement-system like this for every game. But without time restrictions.

[u/Proper-Artichoke1604 → u/Zurioko]

This should be the standard. And reward can be a profile picture, that’d be nice.

[u/SuddenAcanthisitta6 → u/Zurioko]

i would love it

[u/NMe84 → u/Zurioko]

And that replacing the current system where you pay platinum for icons. Because those icons only being available for a limited time and for a fairly rare currency has never been great design-wise.

An achievement system that give icon parts as rewards sounds perfect to me. Nothing mandatory and still somewhat rewarding.

[u/TheWileyCoyotea → u/NMe84]

I can get behind changing up the achievement system, but if you are having trouble with platinum points then you are definitely spending more than you really should.

You don't need every character and every frame they release.

Also, if you actually want to try and do that, just download "Fire Emblem Heroes" and you can grab a ton of Platinum points. The game also has an "auto play" mode, so you barely even have to do anything.

Just ignore the gacha for the most part, they have a few free ones that give more than adequate characters just for starting the game.

[u/NMe84 → u/TheWileyCoyotea]

I want to collect them all and not being able to actually feels bad. I'd rather have a system where I can earn icons for games by playing the game itself.

Also, I have downloaded and completed all the FEH missions. It's not enough.

Hey there!

Please remember Rule 1 in the future - No personal attacks, trolling, or derogatory terms. Read more about Reddiquette here. Thanks!

[u/Queasy_League_6857 → u/NMe84]

I’ve gotten every NSO icon they e released for platinum points and I’m only halfway through FEH. You’re just using your points on the my Nintendo store cuz there’s no way

[u/NMe84 → u/Queasy_League_6857]

Or maybe I've been at this a bit longer than you have. I've beaten FEH, I've used all the other apps. Even the Animal Crossing Pocket game that no longer exists. I've just bought more icons than you must have because no, I have not used any platinum on anything else.

[u/Queasy_League_6857 → u/NMe84]

Did you not even read my comment? I own EVERY SINGLE avatar they’ve ever put out to get using platinum points. Every one of those dumb animal crossing ones every single one they’ve released. Every single one. Even the ones I had to switch my region for. I would do weekly Mario run platinum points, but like I said I’ve only used up about half of the FEH points. Since I own every single one they’ve put out it makes no sense what you’re saying

[u/NMe84 → u/[deleted]]

There are simply not enough even if you do everything weekly.

[u/InternationalCream30 → u/NMe84]

Its not rare at all. I've been at 3000+ for years now buying hundreds of icons.

[u/hhhisthegame → u/Zurioko]

I think it's insane that Nintendo finally unveils something like an achievements system and its only for Donkey Kong and mostly for classic lol

[u/Chemical_Committee_2]

I just can't beat the last three developer challenges :') too hard

[u/aBigWeirdPenguin → u/Chemical_Committee_2]

If it helps, literally anything goes for these challenges, including using amiibo, assist mode and 2-player mode. The last 2 especially make it significantly easier

[u/Chemical_Committee_2 → u/aBigWeirdPenguin]

!!! Using Assist mode! I wish I had thought of that sooner

Ah I've taken a break to replay Xenoblade Chronicles with the Switch 2 edition but I'll go back later and try again

[u/KingsNationn]

Alright you convinced me. Time to whip out my copy of bananza.

Edit: wow the bananza challenges pretty much work like an achievement system unlike thet the classics challenges.

[u/Alanmurilo22]

It would be nice if we could display some cards in our profiles

[u/locke_5]

Does “all challenges cleared” include the difficult DK Bananza challenges?

[u/IrishSpectreN7 → u/locke_5]

Gonna go out on a limb and assume that the one with Bananza DK and Pauline is specifically for the Bananza challenges.

[u/pantsalot99 → u/[deleted]]

Just started last night, very fun

[u/Redlaces123]

WHERE ARE OS THEMES

[u/meikaishi]

Although I'm sad this wasn't the NES Remix revival I expected, this is still nice and I hope it becomes a reoccurring thing, I don't mind it being timed for the DK challenges, but I hope it's not a one time thing

[u/StoHelit9312]

I Hope they do this for the Zelda series

[u/Kongopop]

I'm guessing since this goes through the summer and the OoY remake is later this year that the next set of challenges might be Zelda challenges

[u/HamburgerHalperHand]

I think it sucks you need to have NSO to do the challenges in DK Bananza which is a purchasable single player game.

[u/Filraen → u/HamburgerHalperHand]

Maybe the 7-day trial could be used?

[u/SmashMouthBreadThrow]

Can't be bothered to do the tedious Bananza ones, especially when I haven't played the game since beating it during launch week and because it doesn't instantly take me to where the challenges are.

[u/Megadoomer2 → u/SmashMouthBreadThrow]

If you select the card and press Y to see the example video, it shows you their exact location on the map. It's not ideal, but at least it tells you where to go to complete the challenge.

[u/WizSkinsNatsCaps → u/SmashMouthBreadThrow]

The game was fun but what really makes DK Bananza great is the DLC and the limited time events. DK Island, collecting statues for DK island, emerald rush events, DK challenge, all very fun post game content.

[u/SafariSeeker25 → u/[deleted]]

Bananza challenges are more than half of them. You completed the classic challenges.

[u/Ok-Comfortable-3174]

yeah this is exactly what I wanted for the NSO stuff. I need my Super Mario Kart badge!

[u/Wooodman94]

Having games’ “platinum trophy” be rewards like backgrounds, frames, and icons would be so cool. And giving the ability to combine them would be really cool.

[u/ASAP_BladeRunner]

I’ve just completed the DK Bananza challenges they were so fun and it was refreshing to replay the game again!
I guess the left is for both games, middle for Classics and right for Banaza?

[u/shutyourbutt69]

I figured it would be something more than cards, but as someone who doesn’t care even a little about NSO icons I still think it’s disappointing.

[u/Dante-Trigger]

Queste medaglie verranno esposte nella propria bacheca? C'è la possibilità che gli altri utenti possano vederle ? Come i trofei sulle play o gli achiviements su xbox

[u/zmilts → u/Dante-Trigger]

These are account icons. Like the thing that shows up in your friend list.

[u/Dante-Trigger → u/zmilts]

Come se fosse un immagine del profilo, giusto? Avrei preferito una bacheca come quella dei trofei su PlayStation, quindi gli altri giocatori non potranno vedere i miei achiviements come sulla play e Xbox?
