an achievement system would sell more games on their console bringing in more money. the only people who think it would be a bad idea are those who personally don't like achievements. the reality is it's just another missing feature that the other consoles have putting nintendo behind.

wouldnt call it the glorious be all and end all though lol

I disagree. It isn't that I dislike achievements, I just don't care.

I would bet (if it were possible to tell) that an achievement system wouldn't make anything on Wii U sell more, ever.

pretty much this. it's not a big deal on it's own but when added with all the other missing features it is. Many people will say they don't care and don't need it but if Nintendo launch them with their next console many of these same people will love them and realisewhat they were missing out on. If you have gotten a few platinums on pS3 but you also love gaming on nintendo you'd know how sweet it would be platinuming some of nintendos best games like mario, zelda etc.

Because they think people should be able to know by themselves when they accomplished something great instead of needing some pop-up telling them so. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.

But seriously? Achievements are completely pointless.


@bold: Why you think that? Don't you think it's nice to share your activities/things you spent time playing and other know that you did that? Like I see many people speedrunning on games all over youtube and for them it's not pointless even though they don't get anything in return, just the recognition for doing so.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

The stamps don't make me want to spend countless hours to be able to unlock. I think the stamp system is pretty great, but I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't there.

Achievements aren't just yourself. You can prove to your friends thst you did something for instance. You can have competition for gamerscore(which leads to more games being bought =good for Nintendo if they implement it). Also it'd satisfying to see that gamerscore grow. Yes you know that you did awesome things but to see them grow into on combined number is fun and intereetjng

Because unlike so many other video game developers, Nintendo doesn't need to give you additional incentives to play through their games more than once.

The experience itself is rewarding enough.

Because then people would complain that it's too hard to get the equivalent of 1,000 Gamerscore/Platinum Trophy.

If you need achievements in every game you play, you should think about why you are even playing games in the first place. You are pretty much saying that you wouldn't be a gamer if there weren't any achievements.

I've  never met someone who thought like that. Ofc they're are probably people like that but the majority think it's a good thing to supplement your experience
