Collectible Badge Center (Badges on your 3DS HOME Menu!)

Collectible Badge Center

Surprise surprise! The customization capability of the HOME Menu has just expanded once again. Just in case HOME Menu Themes weren't enough satisfying for you, Nintendo went ahead and added the ability to add badges on your HOME Menu. Well, after you booted a software called "Collectible Badge Center" downloaded from eShop, you can start collecting badges by playing the crane machine. So far, only Japan have gotten this feature at the moment.

The first time you start up the software, you will be given 5 tries for free to attempt getting the badges. Afterwards, you will need to dole out 90 yen (or 90?) to get 5 more attempts. You can also get more tries by completing certain challenges for free, once per day.

You'll find badges that came from NES Super Mario Bros., Mario characters, Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing as of now. Some badges are acting as a shortcut for certain system apps (such as Mii Maker).

There are also exclusive Themes found in Collectible Badge Center, but I don't exactly know on how to get them so far, but it seems to involve using the crane machine once again.

That actually looks really neat!


I don't like the idea of paying for 'more badges' (and I don't know what 90 yen/90? is in GBP) but at least they give you a free option as well. I want to know what the free option is though. I assume that it would be something that doesn't require specific games as not to lock anybody out of trying the challenges, so maybe something like 'coins' for walking x amount? Get xxx score in Augmented Reality? It would certainly give me an excuse to actually use AR since I haven't used it since getting my DS.



I look forward to it though! It will certainly be something different to the usual Street Pass activities...And plays on my addiction for collecting things.

OMG, Crane machines are great! This is going to be fun!

Apparently... 0.4834 GBP is 90 yen.... so 4p-free?

An overview video uploaded on the JP Nintendo channel.

I like the idea of being able to customize the home screen even more. Here's hoping that they'll localize this.

 

[Coach]

THERE IS SEA BASS BADGES! 10/10

Hopefully they have badges for all of the ac villagers and not just the popular ones, because I saw a badge for Bunnie and another villager whom I don't remember

I wasn't paying much attention when looking at the screen with loads on it!

Also, Jay is in the mix of stickers!

I actually wouldn't mind paying 4p each time...







...Until my bank statement comes through at the end of the month and I've spend ?200 on stupid digital badges...

It looks interesting. Would be cool if it came over to the states. I'm already planning to spend more money on themes so why not on little aesthetic badges for them?

Just be sure you don't waste the tries frivolously.
