I love trophies! Collecting them, then looking at them and seeing all the little cool information that Nintendo crams into the text boxes. It was something seriously great about Brawl, and I'm really looking forward to what new ones I'll be able to get in Smash 4.

Oh. Different trophies.


Personally, I think trophies are a really cool system. I vastly prefer them to the Gamerscore, just because, at a glimpse, you get a better view of the player's activities. If you look at someone's trophy count and see 40 Platinums, you know that they are completionists. On the other hand, if they have 800 Bronze and Silver trophies, you know that they have a wider range of games, but don't go as deep into them. It actually tells you something about how they play. While Gamerscore just adds points.

I do wish that more game incorporated them into the game, though. I like when the game rewards you for them, gives you unlockables or bonuses for completing them. Because I don't look at my gamer profile that much anyway.
