Confirmed for UK and the US
[Update: Nintendo of Americajust announcedthatNintendo Badge Arcadeis now available in the US from the 3DS eShop!]
Nintendo Badge Arcadefor 3DS is a popular application in Japan that allows users to collect badges to customize their homescreens by placing them alongside game and app icons. Badges are available from various first- and third-party franchises, with new ones being added all the time. A claw game is used to collect them.
What the trailer above fails to make crystal clear isBadge Arcadeis free-to-play, and players can pay a small amount of real skrilla to purchase plays, or play for free once a day. Since the badges are strictly cosmetic, I don’t see a problem with this.
Right now,Nintendo Badge Arcadeis only confirmed for release in the UK, but with aNintendo Direct coming this Thursday, I’d be surprised if it isn’t confirmed then for the US as well.
