Nintendo doesn't need achievement all they need is a new more powerful hardware that can compete with ps5 xbox series and steam deck cos everyone keep trashing their outdated tech everyday.
Nope. Waste of time.
Kat Bailey!!!
They don't need to, but they'd be welcome if done in a unique Nintendo way
Without achievements/trophies what’s the point of completing 100% a game in nintendo 😅
the answer is no.
The answer is "NO". In fact, the modern gaming industry should be thankful to NIntendo for saving it after the 1982 video game industry crash when they introduced a certain platformer called the Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
If they came up with some sort of system where you could get achievements and have them tied to collectables like the trophies in old smash games I’d be all in.
It blows my mind that they don’t have CoD mobile on Switch
They need achievements almost as much if not more than they need better hardware.
They need games for adults and a device that isn't a Potato, once they achieve that, then they can consider achievements.
You all forgot about Marine the Raccoon…the most obnoxious Sonic friend ever🤣😅
Adult Foursquare is super fun btw
Yes Nintendo does need achievements if Nintendo wants me to return playing on their console again
Ha! Excellent episode, Thanks! Sidenote, Seth. Have you finished Dune?
Never use achievements. They sound awful. You start playing for a player score instead of enjoyment of a game. Hope Nintendo doesn't fall into the achievement trap!
Jada you’re AWESOME!!!!!!
for what? for being the garbage company with shitty practices in the history of gaming.
No, games don’t need artificial external, arbitrary challenges, often buggy with underwhelming rewards. How about enjoying a game for what it is? Trophies and achievements have ruined many games for me and Nintendo is the only safe haven.
Nintendo can easily make a ton of money using achievements since people will specifically buy games for digital trophies
They need to update that hot garbage of a ui on the switch first and and firmware
To answer the main question.
Yes they do, they really need achievements!
Great Stuff, as always!
Virtual Boy 2? 🙂
Like many QoL things, it's not needed but would be a nice addition for those that like it.
Absolutely want Nintendo achievements/trophies
Blaze would definitely be on that list
They certainly can. There was an achievement system in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. They can surely adopt that system into other games.
absolutely not.
Nah. Actually finishing a game nowadays is enough of an achievement. So many games…
Peer, never leave. 😀
Answer: No. Gamers don't need participation trophies to enjoy a game.
Next question.
