Well got a Charmander and Charmeleon badge, but I missed out getting a Charizard one. Going try and get more free play and get the Charizard and Eevee badges.
Pay lot of money.

Ooh, my favourite utility badges so far.
Got the StreetPass, eShop and Mii icon. Just need the Settings icon and I can call it a day.

Really, Nintendo? No free plays on Christmas?! The owner has got that bunny on lock; didn't even mention the holiday.
The owner is on vacation.

In all seriousness, the person or people in charge of this at NOA and NOE may be on vacation, no? Maybe it can't be pre-programmed way in advance, but whatever the case, my body is ready for the free play on Valentine's Day...hopefully.

I got an error message when I tried to start up the badge arcade for the past two days. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem.

Do you mean an issue connecting to the internet through the game? If so, I had the same issue. I just went into my connection settings, tested the connection I used, and went back and reloaded the Badge Arcade. It worked fine after that.

Yeah, I think that's the problem. I'm staying at my uncle's house, so it's not my usual internet connection. I don't have my 3ds with me right now, but I'll have to try that.

Did anyone buy the new theme in the US game? The preview looked good but I'd love to see more pics of it, or maybe a video.

Oh hey, Japan has prepaid cards for the game.

I can't understand moon runes at all.
But I'd like to think that's basically a $10 eshop card with a free 5 plays for Badge Arcade.
My piss poor reading skills decode that as "5 play present", so maybe?
Incidentally how many free plays do Japanese people get for a red target practice badge? In the US it's 3 but in the EU it's 2 (boo!)

It comes with 5 free plays, so is effectively 1100 for the price of 1000 yen.
Oh I get it now.
I do like that they're giving bonuses with prepaid cards nowadays. Pokémon Picross' came with a theme so 5 free plays is a great thing, plus gives this game a nice retail presence too.
In Japan it's 3, too.

Yeah it's an eshop card with free 5 plays, like those eshop cards with an AR card inside (which got an international release)
Free plays with purchase.

Finally got Vaporeon to complete the panel. Tried to get him for awhile. :3

Zelda badges for Europe at last! (I'm new to this 'game' - have we had any sets before?)
I'm a little disappointed by the selection, though - I'd hoped at least for a Triforce. Still, I grabbed the Hyrulian shield and bow badges with my free plays.

I'll buy an Eshop card for $10 if it includes free plays
Give it to me NoA

Finally got a Blathers badge. I've wasted so many free plays on him. I didn't figure he was so popular that they would constantly put him in extremely difficult locations, but I guess he is.
I actually messed it up again this time, but finally got a lucky roll of another badge to nudge him down.

Not in the US currently. There have been Metroid badges in the NES Remix collection, but they aren't in the currently available panels.

When I started up, the bunny said:
Hey hey! Happy day-before-the-day-before New Year's Eve.
As someone whose favorite holiday is New years, I really appreciate this.

Ran across a Badge Arcade ad while viewing Youtube videos.

Pretty interesting. I didn't think Nintendo would take the time to advertise this.

I'm pleasantly surprised that it even came over, Japan had it about 11 months before the rest of the world. It's tempting to pay, and even free you can get a decent number of plays and rewards. It's not the kind of F2P app you remove.

So what happened, did you guys give up? 
I'm still addicted. Got 6 free plays today! Just what I needed to complete this set:

8-Bit sushi is evil.
I pulled the one that's "plugging" the rest from falling down the slope, and they just got jammed up under the platform, instead.

What the heck, the Zelda ones are leaving PAL-land already? >_>
They were only there for a few days. >_>

With the amount of times that EU Badge Arcade has repeated badges already I'm sure they'll be back in a week or two.

The Zelda MM badges were kind of disappointing. They looked very low res and were mostly mask icons. I only got the hearts.
Really happy about the Pokemon ones though, paid 3 and got pretty much all of the ones I wanted expect for Charizard. I hope we get lots of new once since all EU panels expire today.

Even then, I'd hoped that we'd get them for more than three days. I managed to get a total of four badges out of my free plays, but with a run of dummy badges from the practice catcher not as many as I'd hoped for.

Yeah definitely. I forgot to post this when it happened, but I think the Swapnote/Nikki badges disappeared one day even without a warning. I didn't get the ones I wanted
The Leo(O) Nohrian bomb sprite state from Fire Emblem fates in Japan yesterday was so unfair.
Lot's of new year kimonos today.
