Nintendo Badge Arcade finally coming to the west

[DarkDesertFox]

Sweet, I got most of the software Kirby icons. I only need the eShop and Mii Plaza ones now.

I am in love with these Kirby badges. From Nightmare in Dreamland and The Amazing Mirror... those two games are what got me into gaming in the first place. I was like 8 lol <3

This game has made me dislike Splatoon..it's not even a 3DS game. Stop it Nintendo.

You do realize that Yoshi's Woolly World, MK8, Mario Party, and all the retro badges like original Zelda and Super Mario aren't 3DS games, right?

Does anyone know how to catch snowpapa? Is there a trick?

 

[bloomwaker]

Woah! The catchers are nothing but Kirby badges. That's kind of amazing.

I got two free plays and ended up clearing the catcher I chose this time around.

 

[shunishu]

That being said, hate it as much as you want. Its numbers are going to speak for themselves. <3

i doubt bosca dislikes splatoon, they said almost, this was more about them bringing the same splatoon(&mario) badges over and over in the EU, which might make someone dislike an ip they otherwise enjoy..

I swear Nintendo really hates EU. NA hasn't really seen many repeats.

Got one free play today but i managed to get 3 badges on the Splatoon catcher with the two ice slopes.

Sucks that Europe got the same Splatoon catchers for the 5th time though. It makes no sense to me at all.

 

[bloomwaker]

Why is EU so incredibly evil?

 

[Bosca]

My frustration is more about the repeat of the badges. I'm very happy for Nintendo to have a new successful IP, but I can't be happy when it feels like they're pushing it down my throat.. we haven't even had Pok?mon badges here at all. I am aware what games are on 3DS, but the difference for those games you mentioned, is that they have characters or a game of some form that has been on the 3DS, so it's easy to forgive them a little. If you love Splatoon, you'd probs love playing this in the EU, but as someone that never experience it (yet), it's tiring and becoming a fault to my experience of this game.

Anyway, I have no problem with non 3DS games being on this at all, I was just venting and I'm not meaning offend you guys with your fave game, Splatoon just happens to be the game that got used this way.

i had problems and an error for both as well this morning... seems to work again now tho

I do not have a single clue... It is so weird because this makes people think that the Arcade is not going to get too much new catchers which will result in less people playing and even paying for the catchers as well. If the EU Badge Arcade keeps following this trend then i will soon have all the available badges without having to pay a single euro... Way to go Nintendo, you once again showed us how good you are at marketing techniques! Cough... COUGH!

YAY! I managed to snatch Gyarados with my 3 free tries. Merry christmas to me.

 

[pokedude729]

I'm honestly surprised that they didn't give a free play out for Christmas.

 

[ChocoMagii]

$1.30 for 5 turns ;_;

Seriously? I was just about to log on and check. The owner of that arcade must be a Scrooge.

 

[Pokemanz]

There haven't been any free plays lately, nor any speeches. The recent practice catchers have been awful too, I barely got any free plays this week.

 

[Silversea]

Free play today. I agree, recent practice catchers have been torrential. Clearly not a game biased towards the "free" side of "free to play".

 

[Bosca]

I need to get poor Flareon to complete my eeveelution set. But yeah they have been making it difficult. I'm just so happy to see a fresh collection of badges that interest me.

Nintendo calls them "free to start". They think calling it "free to play" is misleading, when microtransactions are an important part of the game. This game has a strong earning model, so free to start is a pretty good descriptor.

 

[bloomwaker]

Brand new Splatoon badges were added today. <3 I spent a couple of dollars and got the free theme and all the badges I wanted, even though I messed up one of my tries.

I also got two free tries from the bunny for no reason as a New Year's Eve thing so I highly recommend giving the game a quick peek.
