Pretty sure right now it's down to only two. This page, being for a game outside of the RH series but containing content from it, should ideally describe how playing the game is like now, and not when it first launched. The five free plays thing as far as I'm aware is no longer being supported by this game.
(corrected the free plays)

''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.
