+{{Nihongo|'''''[[wikipedia:Nintendo Badge Arcade|Nintendo Badge Arcade]]'''''|バッジとれ〜るセンター|Badge Torēru Center}} is a free-to-start application for the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]], allowing players to customize their 3DS Home Menu with badges. The game launched on December 17, 2014 in Japan, November 10, 2015 in North America and on November 13, 2015 in Europe.
+==Gameplay==
+''Nintendo Badge Arcade'' takes place in an arcade filled with machines known as Badge Catchers, each containing badges based on various Nintendo franchises such as ''Super Mario'', ''Animal Crossing'', Pokémon, Splatoon and [[Rhythm Heaven Series|Rhythm Heaven]]; which are reorganized each day. Similar to real-life UFO catchers, players must use the catcher's claw to try and drop badges off the bottom of the screen. They can accomplish this by simply picking them up, or use other techniques such as pushing them or causing land-slides. Any badges that the player obtains can be added to the 3DS HOME Menu, with certain badges able to launch some of the 3DS' built-in applications. Special themes for the HOME Menu can also be unlocked.

 ==Trivia==
-*According to the text strings, there was supposed to be Badge Catchers based on [[Hole in One]] and [[Samurai Slice]].
+*During it's run, players were able to post their HOME Menu designs on [[wikipedia:Miiverse|Miiverse]], and the best ones would be shown off in the Miiverse Gallery, with special commentary from the arcade bunny. As the service is defunct, the Gallery simply shows random posts each day. Several of these designs also use Rhythm Heaven badges.
-*The artwork used for the Hair Vegetables are from [[Crop Stomp]], a game not in ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix''.
+*There are unused badges based on [[Golfer]], [[Mandrill]], [[Reporter]] and [[The Wandering Samurai]]<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Nintendo_Badge_Arcade#Unused_Badges The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>.
-*Oddly enough, Bearbara is colored blue in the [[Blue Bear]] Catcher, even though she was pink/brown with a hint of pink in-game.
+*The artwork used for the [[Hair Vegetables]] comes from [[Crop Stomp]] rather than [[Rhythm Tweezers]].
+*Oddly, [[Bearbara]] is colored blue in the [[Blue Bear]] Catcher, even though she is actually brown with a hint of pink.
