According to reports from Nintendo World the 3DS will feature a reward system similar to Xbox Achievements and PS3 Trophies.

While Nintendo has yet to official detail a rewards system for the 3DS several reports from this weekend's Nintendo World event in Japan suggest that one has been implemented into the upcoming handheld.

According to Palgn a coins based reward system appears to be part of the 3DS software. The inbuilt pedometer will be used to earn coins as players walk with their 3DS, which in turn can be exchanged to unlock bonus content in games.

All developers will have access to this universal reward system and the coins earned can be used in any game, rather than being limited to the game you earn them in. The use of the pedometer for the reward system is likely to work alongside the handheld's 'tag' mode, whereby if two people with a 3DS pass each other they automatically exchange system and game information.

Expect more details about the system from Nintendo soon but for now what do you think of this reward system? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
