Say what ya will about achievements and trophies they have proven to be a success and keep players envolved and add to the cement that console ecosystems have become in the digital age. 

Like them or hate them, who does them the best and does Nintendo need to implement a system to fill the gap? doesn't have to be a completionist system, it could be just a tracker or a system wide leader board between friends anything really in the persuit of cementing people into the ecosystem through a false sense of accomplishment.

I think the obvious answer to the first question is PlayStation and they stumbled upon gold, no pun, when they designed the Platinum system. Leagues ahead of the competition but still in need of servicing, refinement and features and for the love of God make DLC a separate sublist with its own percentage meter.

Achievements are lame IMO, I always turn them off and I'd be fine if Nintendo never implements them.

No, "need" is too strong a word. Its fine if they add them, cause many players do like them, but they absolutely dont need to.



FUCK
NO!



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Trophies, in my experiences, don’t tend to be very fun. Almost always end up acting as a to-do/chore list.

The market leader in console gaming doesn't 'need' to do anything.



If Nintendo ever wants me to buy a multiplat game on their platform they should add an achievement system.

I want an achievement system on a Nintendo system.

Call them badges or whatever.

100% want.

Dont want them? Dont worry about it, let the rest enjoy

This pretty much.

I'm double dipping mainly on Playstation and Xbox for third party titles.

Only buying first party and exclusive titles but I'll buy more third party titles if they include achievements.



You ever just look at a thread title and go…yeah, I don’t know what I was going for there?

And in regards to the thread query: nope.
