No Trophy/ Achievement System
A Trophy or Achievement system seemed like an obvious feature going into Nintendo’s Switch unveiling, but we didn’t hear any indication that the console will be getting one. We’ve had rewards systems like this on PlayStation and Xbox for years, and while the Achievement craze isn’t what it once was, many people still love completing extra challenges and earning that Gamerscore.
Recently, with Nintendo’s mobile titles, we’ve seen basic trophy systems awarding players with medals that they can then spend on extra digital content or discounts. You could speculate about this being a testing ground for a full Achievement system, but it’s hard to say anything definitively right now.
Even if it’s a feature coming down the road, Trophies/ Achievements seems like such a small addition that could boost a player’s enjoyments of titles. Hopefully, we can see some kind of addition further down the road.
