The 3DS is missing one key thing

The only people who really seem to care about achievements are PS3/360 fans. The general Nintendo audience and the expanded audience don't seem to care for them much at all so I doubt it would be worth the effort.

Probably because they don't have them. Sony fans didn't care much about achievements... until the PS3 got trophies. If Nintendo instituted "stickers" or somesuch, they'd be a huge deal.

I agree with twesterm. The 3DS was the perfect opportunity to introduce not only an achievement system, but a revamped and more robust online in general. Seems like a big missed opportunity.

To be fair, Nintendo's been pretty silent on the 3DS' online in general. I don't think there's yet been a solid confirmation of whether or not friend codes are coming back, even. Might be something they'll emphasize more in the Western pre-launch shindig (the 19th), or not
