I'm sure there is sarcasm in this response, but Nintendo very much has DRM.

If your Wii U is bricked, there has almost never been a way to recover games with your Nintendo Network account on another Wii U. That's quite severe DRM.

Nintendo has been encouraging digital purchases big time during Switch's life, and digital games in general use DRM.

I don't see the link between an achievements system and DRM. 

But the Nintendo Network ID does let you recover games. At least, they did for my 3DS. It was broken beyond repair so I bought a new one, called up Nintendo support, and they changed my registered system from the previous one to the new one, allowing me to re-download all my previous digital purchases. I didn't have my old data (RIP my perfect streetpass puzzles), but that's hardly a DRM issue.

Still a God awful system.  If my ps5 bricks...  I buy a new one, sign in and download.  Nintendo is stupid behind on how to handle digital.
