Nintendo Badge Arcade finally coming to the west

[bloomwaker]

Oh man, I was so jealous of a Japanese person showing off themes that had these badges. Hopefully this comes to NA. ;;

Uh...
-Regular New 3DS
-Yoshi's Wooly World
-Hyrule Warriors+All of its DLC
-M&L Paper Jam

Those are all examples from this year alone. -_-

Hyrule Warriors wasn't this year. Only 'Majora's Mask' and 'Boss Pack' DLC was released later in the US.

My point was that it's current...
There were also a few extra updates that didn't include any DLC.

It probably will! I'm guessing this month or next month

It's Nintendo, most of their Wii U/3DS game are current (well, they act like it).

I don't think patches really count either unless they add something significant. I mean, Half Life 2 is still getting patches and updates that most of the time add nothing that I notice, I wouldn't say that makes it any more current.

I don't know how much I'm looking forward to it as someone who doesn't want to pay for every crane attempt. The 50 cents or 1 dollar or however much it'll be doesn't even guarantee you'll get anything new. It's like spending play coins on puzzle pieces on mii plaza except with real money...

 

[mirukushake]

You don't have to pay if you don't want. You get a free practice games each day, and you can win 1 or 3 plays if you're lucky, or if you collect 10 dud badges, you get a free play. I've only put in maybe 400 yen, just because they occasionally do promotions where you get a free home theme if you pay for 10 plays or whatever.

[GalacticGhost]

YESSS FINALLY! And it's free to download, too! I've been hoping that this would eventually come out for EU/US because I can only get the free 3DS themes

Can't wait until this Friday!

Nintendo AU NZ 2h
Nintendo Badge Arcade comes to Nintendo #eShop for #3DS on Friday. Collect badges and decorate your HOME Menu!


no idea why you expected Australia to announce it between the hours or midnight and 9am but ok

 

[bloomwaker]

I'm going to have too much fun with this now that it seems to be out here.

ya, got released in NA not too long ago

 

[lars708]

So i just found the prices for the European Badge Center, 1 euro for 5 plays is not too bad actually...

Unless you suck at these things and fully waste your plays without getting anything like me lol

 

[CartersRain]

Hey North Americans, are you guys having fun with badge arcade?

 

[bloomwaker]

I just did two sets of five, a free one and a paid one. I got at least four badges each try.~

This one has "mega badges" that I want to try getting next... They look harder to catch though. ;;

EDIT: They're actually super easy to catch, but I messed up and only got 3 out of 5. At least I got Hilda. <3
They're also giving me a free theme as part of a promotion.

EDIT 2: I'm finding out that messing up the first play can sometimes be a very good thing.
I completed one of the animal crossing ones by knocking a lot of things over trying to get to the first item. Once I got it, about 4 or 5 badges ended up falling in, followed by the one I actually grabbed.

 

[shunishu]

i have nightmares already and i'm not even asleep..

 

[Cress]

I've already payed a bit but I don't care.

So much Zelda.

 

[bloomwaker]

I started going after the Zelda ones first too! Haha.

I got quite a substantial amount of badges out of my free plays for today, too. I was expecting to have much worse luck, considering how that tends to go with me.

 

[NerdHouse]

I'm NA, where do I go to get the badge thing?

EDIT: Found it

 

[Tao]

Are a majority of the badges Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing?

I mean, I'm fine with those but I can't say I wouldn't be disappointed if that's it. I haven't seen any Kirby, Donkey Kong or Samus badges ; - ;
