Sunsnug_Warrior Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I know maybe this already talked A LOT. but long story short, today i got my Switch but it doesnt have any trophy. Do you know that Ninty will add trophy support later on? Cool console tbh. ? Edited June 26, 2018 by Sunsnug_Warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGIE838EIRE Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I doubt it if they will. The Switch seems to be doing really well without it, maybe if it was suffering they’d consider an achievement system. Though never say never! That’s the reason I never got one ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckSwimmer Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That's kind of why I don't really touch my switch that much. An achievement system is nice and gives a bit more of a purpose for some games. Although the reason why I have mine is just to pick up the Nintendo only titles that interest me. I don't really buy a lot of games for it like I do for my PS4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crauuecrauue Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Nintendo already has a trophy system, in having the best first-party games on any platform. Each little gamecard case is a little trophy on your shelf. Edited June 26, 2018 by crauuecrauue 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffectatiousDonk Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I like that you bought it without releasing it doesn't have a trophy system and expecting one. Lol. But I agree it doesn't need one, it is a great system, and the games are great, impossible not to smile and have fun when playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Condemned09 Posted June 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2018 Honestly I'm happy the Nintendo Switch does not have trophies/achievement. Its nice just to play the games without worry about trophies and play for fun. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubuki Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I don't really mind honestly. Doesn't stop me from getting over 70 hours in Mario Kart 8 and Zelda BOTW. Trophies would be nice but not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I remember reading Miyamoto saying he was against trophy/achievement systems because he felt that playing a game should be a rewarding enough experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, that a bad side of impulse buying for me. loved the console. Probably playing a Snipperclips tonight with my son. 43 minutes ago, Condemned09 said: Honestly I'm happy the Nintendo Switch does not have trophies/achievement.

Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 God, I'm fucking glad they didn't. On Switch I've completed my first Lego game in years without being compelled to plat it, I've dumped 30 odd hours into Fortnite for fun with no chivos, I clocked Doom, Zelda, Mario, and countless other games without the compulsive need to go back and "finish" them... I'm finished when I say I'm finished now, none of this "you only beat the story and only have 20% of the trophies, you barely played it" I'll play the damn amount I want, on the damn difficulty I want, the damn way I want, and no stupid achievement list will dictate how good I did. I'll get into it more later if I remember, but basically, when the Switch, the last hold out, gets an achievement system, a part of gaming will die, and I'm fucking ECSTATIC that it hasn't yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourfoldroot Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) I would personally be much more likely to get a Switch if it had trophy support (not just its own system, but actual integration with the PS trophy system). Given Ninties willingness to buddy up with MS on Live integration, and their generally hopeless online infrastructure, I think Sony should push heavily for this. Ninty would get a reliable system with over 40M users, and Sony would have more influence in allowing cross play with only switch.

SlimSanta94 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm glad there isn't an achievement system for Nintendo consoles and I hope they never add one.

Z1MZUM Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nintendo would benefit allot by adding trophies regardless of what we personally think. With that said it's already hacked so the purists may not be that keen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cris3f Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nintendo doesn't need a trophy system on the Switch. Really good games, as in all their consoles, no need to have trophies to be compelled to play them. Something Sony could learn from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted June 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) As much as I would like to agree that games should be rewarding enough just to play, the prevelance of achievement systems on other consoles has pretty much cemented the idea in the gaming community - I do find that i am less likely to continue with a game if there are no trophies left to aim for, and the fact that there have been trophies as a standard in games for so long now has made them the defacto method of measuring and mapping the path through a game. Something like Skyrim, for example, can go on forever - the achievements/trophies are the only way to really gauge when you are done. Not sure that’s a great thing, but it has just become the way it is for a lot of gamers - particularly us users of this site and it’s like. On the other hand, I bet the sales of non-games that only exist by virtue of easy trophies are almost non-existant on Switch... I can’t imagine My Name is Mayo selling well on a Nintendo console!

The Switch seems to be doing really well without it, maybe if it was suffering they’d consider an achievement system. Though never say never! That’s the reason I never got one Success and achievements have nothing to do with each other. The Xbox 360 did well out the gate because it had a bunch of great games its first two years. What achievements do promote however is more game sales which is something Nintendo has desperately needed for a long time now. Their main franchises don't have a hard time selling but you don't get top selling home consoles like the PS2-4 and the Xbox 360 just selling a few key franchises. Among all four of those consoles you'll find numerous multiplat games all over their most sold games. The Wii moved hardware and it had key software but not much else. Some companies (like Sega and Capcom) tried to help the Wii but they would eventually give up. Lets use a game like Energy Balance as an example for a second. Is it a killer app? No. Is it any good? That's up to opinion. Outside trophies and achievements do many people actually buy this? I entirely doubt that and I would be willing to bet its moved a fraction of the sales that it did on either the Xbox or PlayStation platforms. We can go back and argue the quality of that game so instead lets mention some good games like Hollow and Kamiko. Never heard of either of those? That's exactly my point.

I'm not sure how many people play games just for the trophies though I guess it's a small percentage. After years of trophy saturation it is a bit of a turn off to play something like Dark Souls without them in my opinion. I don't love trophies though accept that they are there, Nintendos non stop idea of being different doesn't really help anyone and if we had more multiplats due to a popularity surge caused by trophies then everyone wins.
