No Trophies and Achievements
While there is still time for Nintendo to come out and say “hey, we forgot to mention that the Switch will indeed have trophies you can earn in games,” the silence on the topic is telling for now. Microsoft was definitely onto something when the company released achievements for the Xbox 360. After seeing just how much players cared about them, Sony followed suit in 2008, and now millions of players are chasing platinum trophies left and right. Most thought that the Wii U would get something similar, but after it didn’t, hopeful eyes turned to the upcoming console.
They may sound trivial, and to many they are, but they add to replayability, and even lead some players to try games they may not have before, simply because they have easy achievements. As of the time of writing, there has still been no mention of anything even resembling trophies or achievements for the Switch. Hopefully they’ll be introduced in the online beta, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
