    I never really cared for achievements. The only times I do like them is when accomplishing X achievement unlocks something like a special skin in-game, but achievements aren't needed for that in the first place.

    What games from the 90s are you playing that allow you to unlock extra skins in game? That kind of stuff is dlc now! /hates dlc

    Well off the top of my head you unlocked certain armour in Halo 3 by doing certain achievements. But the console itself didn't need the "achievements" per se to do that, it could just be designed within the game itself.

    Oh nos not System Wide achievements whatever will we do. Wait, nobody should care. Achievements aren't even achievement this day in age. Most are "Idiot Proof" as in "Complete the Intro" yay you got an achievement. I am happy that Nintendo is not trying to emphasis such a ridiculous thing.

    I always thought achievements were really stupid. Only now is Microsoft finding a use for them by tying them to other promotions. After seven years.

    I didn't buy a 3ds and probably won't buy a wii u now either because of the no accomplishments linked to profile thing. It's not because I want to get a reward for completing a tutorial or for boomheadshotting 10 guys in a row. It's because I like some kind of recognition for finishing a game. It wouldn't even bother me if Nintendo didn't include trophies for completing minor elements in game, but there should at least be some kind of system in place where a persons account/alias is linked to the games they have played/finished/completed. Maybe it's the collector in me - but I get a good feeling logging into my playstation account and seeing the list of games I have completed and slowly growing the list over time. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment and recognition, and actually gives me something to show for finishing a game. People can go on about it's an electronic reward that doesn't mean anything blah blah, but look around you! Everything is becoming digitalised. We don't deal in gold coins and treasure anymore. Everything in life including currency is digital and it will just keep becoming more and more so. Why is a digital trophey no different to a real life trophy awarded 50 years ago? Nintendo - all I want is something to show for spending hours upon hours on completing your games. Again to the people that say - if your not playing for enjoyment don't play it.... I say if I get the same satisfaction for playing a ps3 game and actually get something to show for it at the end.. why would i want to play nintendo? It's a no brainier for me.
