Aye it's just obviously in game tracking of something like causing a 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 damage to enemies in disgaea is easier if the game tracks it than doing it with a pen and paper :D

But yeah Coktoe, what I'm hoping with seeing this pop up in the ports coming from other machines to the Switch is that it follows the ps3's footsteps which indeed rolled out without the trophy system and then retroactively added them into games which had already released, the major games anyway before now becoming a stable of the psn platform.

I know they don't appeal to every gamer, but for those who enjoy them, why not put some work into it and make the switch a platform which has the goal oriented trophies integrated.

They are something that can be ignored, so their addition should mostly be seen as a positive imo. I too hope to Nintendo have a system in place sooner than later. They're the last holdout. Not that it needs the help, but it would give people another reason to but a Switch as well, and wouldn't require much effort to get off the ground.

Yeah I mean it's clear that the game producers are willing to put in the effort of such systems since they're adding them to games without a central system by Nintendo being in place, just give the devs the tools and I'm sure some intern working on a game can take a few hours to write up some fun challenges to give people goals and reasons to keep playing and not trade in the software on the system.

While people might not really care if the achievements system is there on the console or not... there are going to be people who do see it as a negative and might not buy the console because of what could be easily fixed with a patch, so why not go ahead and do it, I mean... there isn't really going to be someone who is thinking of buying a switch and would go .... "oh... I was going to buy it but then I remembered there is an achievement system on the platform now" and not get it, in comparson to those who are coming from other gaming networks where that could well be a deterrant to stop them buying in.
