I got them all whilst collecting all the pixel console badges. They were the only badges I was willing to spend money on, so the timing was great.

Spent $4 today (shocker, right?), got the "Thank You" badges. They're cool! I like 'em, hope they do stuff like this more often.

Also, important:

$1 each for thank you badges? Are they at least one size and not Mega?

I totally flubbed the second MHX panel.

The system settings cat seems like the easiest to grab, but he always falls into a bad position and his shape is awkward to grab.

Pretty sure this is the hardest panel I've tried. Even the Ashley launcher panel where you have to poke the rotating sticks was doable.

I wanted to make a thread about this because I thought it was some hilarious high level trolling, but I'm not sure it warrants it.

Eh, didn't take it that way. It's a prominent Nintendo character with the literal word in her (?) name. Would've been cool if he said Earthbound then proceeded to talk about the Japanese name but that's perhaps a bit too "internet message board" for our friend Baito.

I liked how you could say you weren't into the Mother's Day stuff and he'd just skip it completely. Game's localization is the main thing that keeps me pumping money into it.

Yeah, that's why I just posted it here. Still, even if it wasn't intentional I found it funny :)

We're getting a bunch of more Pokemon badges today & the return of a bunch of NES SMB ones, including those launchers.

I do like the fact when I picked Charmander, the bunny acknowledged that he made the early game harder.

I'll do my best to describe them considering I haven't played Pokemon since Silver/Gold (though I've been playing Shuffle):

- Bulbasaur, his evolutions, & Eggecute + evolution
- Charmander + evolutions & Ponyta/Rapidash
- Squirtle + evolutions & Krabby + evolution
- Totodile + evolutions & that one octopus with his pre-evolution form
- Uhh, deer Pokemon. The hardest is that White legendary
- Pikachu, Raichu, Zapdos, & two others
- that fire monkey & two others
- that ice or water penguin & two....slug things?
- The Diamond & Pearl legendaries (Dialga & that other one) and some other...rock types?
- Tipig(?), and another fire type with his evolutions
- that one that evolves into Delphox & a fire lion
- Greninja & some crab Pokemon
- Some ghost-type tree things
- Ghost candles & chandeliers

Sorry, I did the best I could. I'd look through the thread to see if someone posted pics, but I need to get to bed.

Two free plays per day and 50% off paid plays for the next week in Europe - nice to see that we're finally catching up!

As for new badges, we have Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros (and yet more Pokemon)..

How do you get the Princes Peach badge that is is under the green bar thing?

Its Peach from the Paper Jam panel, the one with Paper Mario Peach too. I've got the Paper Mario Peach just can't get this one:

Wow, the Paper Jam badges are of a really low image quality. I also have somethign against Paper Jam though, couldn't finish the game. Didn't like it.

Yay for more AC and Pokemon badges though.

And two free plays per day is awesome.

I assume (I've not done it) you need to clear out the right hand side enough to be able to push down on the right edge of the bar, which'll tip it up and expose the Peach.

Hmm we tried a few things, the bar didn't knock her in or stay up to be able to grab her or anything. Perhaps you need to use some of the ones above her in combination or something? We had already cleared the rest of the panel out before attempting to get her so nothing else was on there at the time.

On paper (ahahaha) the bar should be able to pivot enough that the right edge of the bar rotates right around and hits her. I don't know if that's actually viable in real terms, though.

You should push the bar down on the right and it'll knock the Yoshi backwards and back forwards knocking Peach down.if you've already cleared all others I don't think you can clear her actually.

Also, this happened!

Sweet, cleared the Shaymin panel. Still waiting for the Japanese Badge Centre to repeat Mega Diancie because I missed it :S

Heh, can't believe it's been half a year since Europe got Badge Centre. That also means I'm getting old.

Does anyone remember what Saturday's new badges were if there were any? I know I got them all, but when I started the Arcade Bunny said he lost my progress from yesterday and gave 20 free plays, but I had all the badges in the machine already?

Ya that's how my GF ended up getting it! Or a method like it. She was annoyed that she originally couldn't get it having cleared out all the others, not accustomed to having to use other badges to get badges!

It really ticks me off how they'll add a brand new panel and then only have it available for 1 day, especially when you don't know how long it'll be before it comes back.

Right now I have 60 out of 62 of the Pokemon panels and I'm not sure they are going to release the last two panels now or not. A bunch of the current ones are on the final day but not all of them so fingers crossed

The American way of Badge Arcade is crazy.

Japan is simple. New badges each week, they last for a week and a half, then go. They very rarely add new badges on days other than Friday.

It gives people a chance.

Everytime there's an Isabelle badge, it's the worst to get. Those system icons this time? Other than a lucky roll (which happened once), they were a grind carrying and dropping them with the claw, and edge rolling didn't always work, and still had limited progress. Even the floor is the type that prevents L+R wiggling due to the high grip, I think.

I definitely think she's taking the piss, but it doesn't mean anything. The game is way too well-written for it to be an accident.

The rabbit is a he. In countries where language has less ambiguity (adjectives being different for male and female), the text implies he's male.
