Nintendo NX: 7 New Leaked Details You Need To Know About

4. A Proper Achievements System

Nintendo's yet to introduce a true equivalent to the PS4 and Xbox One's achievements systems. Perhaps that's because it recognises the futility of making us grind for painstaking numbers of hours just to obtain a digital little stamp for their efforts, and has been biding its time to introduce a system that offers genuine value for players. The leaked survey says that the NX will allow players to "Earn and share gaming achievements, triumphs and defeats with your gaming friends". While this vague statement could be hinting that the NX will allow you to quickly record moments from your gaming and share them, the word 'earn' is the big giveaway there that suggests some kind of rewards system for your in-game achievements. Now, on the one hand Nintendo could be gearing up to offer a PS4/XBO-style basic achievements system that just gives you little icons and feelings of satisfaction for your efforts. Alternatively, it could integrate in some way with the upcoming My Nintendo membership program, which will reward people with credit in Nintendo's digital store, official merchandise and other actual legitimate rewards for things that they do in-game. This would add a whole new layer of value to achievements, and would certainly give Nintendo the upper hand over the competition if implemented properly.
