It will be available this Friday under the title "Nintendo Badge Arcade"
Game overview:
In this lively arcade run by a chatty rabbit, players can take a shot at crane games and similar classic amusements, collecting badges based on Nintendo games and series like Mario Kart, Splatoon and Animal Crossing. Badges can be used to decorate the HOME Menu, with some even usable instead of the standard system icons that access, among others, Nintendo eShop and StreetPass Mii Plaza – perfect for total HOME Menu makeovers.
Every day, visitors to the arcade get five free plays on a practice machine: it only offers dummy badges, but with skill and a little bit of luck, players can win free plays for the machines packed with real badges. Plays can also be bought at a price of £0.90 / €1.00 for five plays (All prices are Nintendo eShop prices, inclusive of applicable VAT).
Players can show off their unique HOME Menu designs via Miiverse, and check out other creators’ designs for inspiration. There’ll be plenty to discover in the weeks and months following launch too, as the badges and machines on offer will change regularly, opening up even more customisation possibilities.

 Feel the same but i will wait and see. It seems a little expensive for non physical collectibles. Now if it were real badges i may be in serious trouble!  |

Now if it were real badges i may be in serious trouble! the £0.90 / €1.00 for five plays is ridicules.. as i understand it you get five dummy tries a day. where you have a chance to win one real game. and if you win you can try grab a badge... sounds serious hard to be lucky, and if its to difficult im gonna delete asap.. |

Yeah, so? You can try and get free tries every day if you wish. Most people who have Japanese 3DS' haven't spent anything. I agree, it is a bit silly - but I don't see people complaining too much about the Theme Shop. This just has a game and a luck/skill element. |

It depends on how hard it is to get anything half decent. I wouldn't mind every now and again spending a couple of pounds to spruce my home screen up as long as it looks nice. From what i have seen so far it looks kind of clunky.

Better than saying 'Fuck you' and just having them there with no explanation as to why they're there. They were going to cost you money regardless of how they did it. |
