Personally I like the time and numbers played stats more to document my investment in a game.
One possibility would be to create a sort of game report page. Time investment, frequency of play etc should be stats independently of achievements. The actual achievements should not be tied to these stats.
That way you could document both achievements and engagement, without having to design idiotic achievements just so people fill some ridiculous check box.
Those stinkin' Nintendo fans, right?All of a sudden Nintendo fans like trophies.

Mario Odyssey with achievements .
That would be amazing.
the 3DS does exactly this, you can go and check your stats for every single game, time played, what days you played, when you first played it, etc It's a nice addition and I enjoy putting my game icons in the order I played the games but it's not engaging in the least, it's just stats.
one kind of middle ground for both trophy lovers and haters would be something like Metroid prime, it had a % which would require you to get missiles, lore, power-ups (everything) and getting that percent up would unlock certain things (I forgot what exactly). It's non-intrusive but it's there to keep record of what you've done and what you could still do in a game.
the completionist/trophy hunter should feel rewarded with that "100%" on the screen
the non-completionist should feel motivated to keep searching for stuff in the game by seeing that nasty "78%" on the screen

I thought Nintendo were against them and they probably want more profit with those toy things than putting unlock bonuses behind achievements.

As long as Nintendo one ups the competition by allowing users to opt out entirely, I say great.
it'd be great for those who wanted it on Nintendo platforms
as long as it's not obtrusive it's all cool with me
wish miiverse came over too tho..rip
As long as they can come up with something new, because both the Xbox and PS systems are dumb in their own ways and have so far made me happy that Nintendo have stayed clear of 'achievements'.
If they can't come up with something good, this would be a good option too.
Is there anything you want Nintendo to bring to the table that Microsoft or Sony don't already?.
Yeah, the one thing that was missing from the game was a notification popping up when I killed an arbitrary number of enemies or defeated a Divine Beast boss.Nice. BotW is actually perfect for achievements.
