I could care less for an achievement system. As long as it doesn't force me to play the game in a certain way ,... I am look at you Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed,.. I wouldn't bother.

Achievements are just a way to try to make bad games look more interesting.

While I don't agree with your reasoning completely, I would really like to see achievements for the Switch

If there's going to be an achievement system, I'd rather have something like getting 100% in a game gives you 10 My nintendo coins vs achievement points or fake trophies.

The best system would be to get eshop credit for 100% completion, like $1-$2.. It's not much, but it increases eshop sales which already have high margin in profits, and encourages full play through of a game, which should equal higher satisfaction.

People even buy games they normally wouldn't just to get achievements. Thats potential profit right there.

This is making fun of achievements, right..? I mean, I already experiment with the different mechanics in video games on my own, and playing games already offer their own rewards for playing them. Achievements aren't needed to do that.

Achievements are fine, and definitely add value to certain games. I'm currently a few achivements away from getting '1000000%' on Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+.

But global achievements are a joke, and only serve to diminish the meaning of the word. Handing out participation awards for trivial milestones necessary to progress a storyline, or promoting mindless grinding to artifically increase the game's content.

I do like the idea of being able to display (true) achievements from select games to your profile, which is the best of both worlds.
