Yeah, MS would have to set standards to avoid abuse of the achievements.
Having XBL games without achievements just feels a DVD without menu/tracks/special features. They should take full advantage of the format, and not skip out on features people expect from XBL games.
I think that the XBL Indie Games would do a lot better if they were allowed to have achievements. Achievements are such a big part of XBL brand and culture, and the indie games feel less credible to me because they are not a part of that system.
At the very least, achievements would draw big sales from the x360a.org achievement hunting crowd.
I am playing Link's Awakening for the first time by way of 3DS Virtual Console. I can't wait until they get around to releasing GBA games because I missed out on Minish Cap as well.
