I checked the project page, and it doesn't seem to cover In-Game Achievements. What I mean by that is that they're saved in a save file, but doesn't get added to a universal console profile unlike Windows (unless it's Steam), and Nintendo consoles in general; focusing on the present per say. Examples include ''[[Giana Sisters DS]]'' (I couldn't find an image, but I played the game before) and ''[[Bejeweled 3]]'' ([https://www.mobygames.com//images/shots/l/547952-bejeweled-3-iphone-screenshot-earned-badgess.png iPhone version], [https://www.mobygames.com//images/shots/l/529008-bejeweled-3-windows-screenshot-badgess.jpg Windows version]) in the form of Badges. The funny thing is that the concept of Achievements isn't new at all, it's just updated by having it tie in an console account. A good example is skillpoints for ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage]]'' and ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', it's where doing all those tasks and earning them unlocks some interesting contact at the time as a reward for the efforts. Consider adding this in the project page? --[[User:RAP|RAP]] ([[User talk:RAP|talk]]) 10:46, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

:If they're called Achievements in-game, then they should be called achievements here too.  They may get turned into actual achievements later.  Just don't categorize them into any of the specific consoles.  Otherwise, they're just treated like any other game content, like [[Ratchet %26 Clank: Up Your Arsenal/Trophies]]. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 17:35, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
