Nintendo Working on Achievement/Trophy System for Switch, Says Indie Dev [IGN]
It’s just a rumor for now, but the developer behind Lichtspeer believes Nintendo may be working on an Achievement/Trophy system for the Switch:
The Nintendo Switch may soon be joining the ranks of other consoles by introducing an integrated Achievement or Trophy system, if the words of a group of indie developers are to be believed.
During a Reddit AMA, the team behind Lichtspeer, which is coming to Switch, were asked about whether the game supported online rankings; in the reply, team member Tom indicated that they were hoping to add rankings “along the way”, also dropping an intriguing little nugget:
“Nintendo doesn’t have an official support for Achievements and Leaderboards, like Sony or Microsoft, but we know that they’re working on it.”
