Nintendo Badge Arcade |OT| Gotta Grab 'em All

Oh didn't know that, thanks. When you reset a machine what happens to any badges you've gotten already?
You keep whatever you've got already. It's just a useful tool for collecting duplicates or if you nudged a badge into an un-catchable position.

How do I attach the Special Badges for the eShop, StreetPass Plaza, etc.?

Like, how do I place them on the Standard tabs so I don't have 2 of everything?

They're badges you just place on the screen like other badges. You'll have to squirrel away the default ones into a folder or something.

Won't spend a penny on this.

...until the cute Nikki styled icon replacements arrive.

I would bang a hot farmer!
I'm upset I can't have 8-bit Link with his sword on my folder for my NES games since it's actually a 2-piece badge. :(
 
Darnit, my inherent weakness to crane machines has led me to spend a few bucks on this.

The music that plays in the collection section is DAMN catchy.

This is quite fun. I love how they allow you to choose from a fair number of badges, so everyone walks away with one they like.

Found out that the practice badges refresh once you clear all of them within the five free tries, which is nice. Haven't perfected the art of chain reactions though, so it is good that they let you practice a few times every day.

How do you replace the app launching icons? I got the Yoshi Activity Log badge, but can't figure out how to actually use it to launch the Activity Log.
 
I guess I see the value of this software from an aesthetic point of view but why is like a slot machine? I guess that's sort of a dumb question given how they are trying to get money from you.
 
Cool! Played the practice machine and got 4 freebies, and grabbed a Pixel GBC badge, as well as the eShop, Music, and Mii Maker launcher badges.

Thing is... WHY are the system ones in the Zelda section when you use them?! o_O
 
So far I've earn three free plays in every practice run.

The first day I got a badge with +3.

The second day I got 26 badges in practice so I had 30 total practice and got 3 practice tries.

Is there anyway to bank the tries you win or do you have to use them right then?

Have to use them then.
 
I tried this out today. Don't understand the appeal, but my home screen is cluttered enough as is. I'm just not going to pay nintendo for virtual stickers.

I don't like the pay model, but my interest for this is in the badges that I can put on my folders to better identify their contents (ie - a GameBoy icon instead of the letter G on the folder with my GB VC) and the replacement app icons.

I don't think the pay model is that bad for what it is. But it's free to play and free to play models generallyare bad

Practice machine wasn't as kind as yesterday, yet I still managed to get a full set of 6 squid for free, yay!
 

Zonic

Gives all the fucks
I got ONE free play despite getting all the practice badges, but didn't toggle the avalance of squids to fall.....

When is Nintendo going to release a Bunny Amiibo where scanning it gets you one extra free play each week?

Splatoon badges are now up.

OH GOD BUNNY WANTS TO KNOW IF I'M A KID OR IF I'M A SQUID.

I said Squid. He was surprised I played games with tentacles.

I got all of the Splatoon badges in the one category, so that was cool. By spending another dollar I got a free theme. So it's cool that you do get something out of playing twice a week at least.

Just wait until they bring out new Badges tomorrow.
 
So I guess it's not guaranteed to have bonus plays in the practice round, as I got all the badges today but there was no blue or red bulls eye behind any of them.

Still earned a free play for collecting over ten practice badges and scored three new permanent ones, two 1-up Mushrooms and a Yoshi Egg.

Aw man. Got 2 free plays today and I got lucky enough to get all the other ones on the LBW faces panel (the one with the big Ravio) except link in one try... and then I grabbed the Link. But apparently grabbing it with the left prong was a mistake as it flung it back into the center. :(

Since the Ravio is big and in the way, that may make that a dicey one to complete later, but I shall stay strong and not throw more money into the machine until there's more free themes...

(Also, for people like me who have an already full home screen... that's what the ability to switch layouts is for...)

It was a mistake for me to download this. I planned on spending only $1 and instead ended up spending $10 because I kept ending up with one badge missing from a collection every time I ran out of plays.
 
Game is like the real UFO machine, its really addictive. Luckly for me, my 3DS goes low on power after all my free tries lol...

So how does this free theme promo work? You just spend $2 and you get it somehow? Also, is the only way to spend the $2 to make two separate $1 purchases?

After using your $2 worth of paid pulls, they guide you to the theme shop and give it to you.

Once you make $2 worth of purchases, bunny also gives you the option to buy pulls in increments of 10 instead of 5

In the Japanese one, after a while, you can double the plays you can buy (with no boost to cost), but I haven't been able to find a way to reduce that so now I have to spend 180 Yen for 10 plays whenever I play.
