I like achievements/trophies. I'd be more likely to buy a Nintendo console that had them.

Wow Nintendo actually taking pointers and ideas from their competition instead of trying to reinvent everything... Glad they decided to join the 21st century.

Yes so much this. Theres no need to reinvent the wheel.

Achievements should earn points that you can purchase games with. Otherwise they're just a pointless gimmick.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I personally still think achievements as we know them are the most pointless invention in video-game history, but, if this is what it takes to get people on board, then sure, go for it. I'll just continue to ignore them though.

Totally agree.

So that's about 10+ years behind the rest when it comes to achievements?

Won't make much of a difference for me, I really don't care about achievements and trophies in any games. It's still kinda amazing how far behind Nintendo are on online features and accounts systems though, glad to see them moving along and trying to catch up with the market, but there's a long way to go.
