For some reason I thought this was known? Either way this is awesome.

Nintendo games have had achievements on a game by game basis. Metroid Prime 3 on Wii had a big implementation of them.

So, for clarification purposes, this means playing Minecraft on a Nintendo Switch will unlock achievements on an Xbox Live account. Not that achievements are coming to Switch (yet).

Could not care less about achievements, but it's cool that they'll be there for those who want them.

This is good enough for me. Do the same for PS4 and I'd probably buy more Indies on the system if they include them.

When will Nintendo get a proper system, badges or stickers or whatever it's going to be.

I'd love to see their interpretation of such a system would be.

Hoping it's part of their online plans.

If the Bedrock Switch version now has public-facing achievements... makes me wonder if the update isn't closer than we think?

That's CRAZY! Honestly I'm LOVING the idea of a Nintendo and Microsoft alliance. Not a buyout though, I don't trust MS to keep Nintendo intact (remembers Rare...).

Honestly it'd be cool if Nintendo allowed MS to make this more of a universal thing on Switch. Like making all Switch games support XBL Achievements or something. If Nintendo won't do it themselves, why not let MS?
