Game description

Gameplay

In Nintendo Badge Arcade is located in a fictional arcade trademarks ( badges ) to collect in order to make these the "Home" menu of the 3DS system individual. An unspecified pink rabbit is an employee of the crane game center and guides the player through it with explanations. One tries to secure the brands with the help of one of the available gripping machines , which, depending on the machine, cover certain video game series and genres . As Super Mario , The Legend of Zelda , Pokemon , Animal Crossing and Splatoon belong.

Every day you get five “test games” for free, for the successful completion of which you do not receive any tokens, but you can collect bonus rounds. For every ten training tokens earned in “training” there is a free round. Free rounds are also distributed irregularly on special occasions. If the test game, which is only accessible once a day, has been completed, you can only continue playing the game by paying, whereby € 1.00 of the Nintendo eShop credit covers five new attempts that can be spent between the various crane games.

It is also possible to present the “Home” menu decorated with the brands acquired in the crane games in a public Miiverse gallery. In addition, there are occasional promotions in connection with the integrated design shop, in which designs are given free of charge, provided that you spend € 2.00 on crane games within a certain period of time.

On March 11, 2016, Nintendo released an upgrade of the game, which concerns the training crane game: From now on , the super bonus gives three instead of two free rounds, while a new bonus was also introduced, which gives a free round.

reception

Nintendo Badge Arcade has received mixed media coverage. Above all, the price-performance ratio is criticized. The online magazine Polygon calls the Nintendo Badge Arcade "Nintendo's newest free-to-play experiment". It is generally praised, however, that the game is continuously supplied with new brands through regular updates. In addition, the pink rabbit is referred to as the “highlight” of the game due to its humor, but its appearance would be “rather intrusive”.
