Miyamoto:
"We actually had look at how important people think achievements are for the gaming experience. Surprisingly, our survey at Club Nintendo showed that less than 1% think it is either "important" or "very important". Another thing that we concluded was that achievements in essence doesn't really add any new, interesting gameplay experiences. So, with this in mind, we decided not to invest any future effort in regards to achievements."
