Nintendo Badge Arcade (バッジとれ〜るセンター?, Badge Torēru Center) is a free-to-start application for the 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; 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.

Players begin the game with two free plays, after which they must purchase additional plays using real money. Once per day, players can use the Practice Catcher to practice catching dummy badges. Playing through the Practice Catcher can sometimes reward additional free plays, with more free plays offered through occasional events.

There are a total of 14 Rhythm Heaven-themed catchers and a total of 25 sets of badges. All of them feature characters from the series. Most badges are simply pre-existing artwork, though some are newly made for Nintendo Badge Arcade.

On August 26, 2016[citation needed], to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Rhythm Tengoku, a special set of badges was released, one having chibi versions of various female characters, the other depicting the School Library Pep Squad in various outfits, "10 years later". While these sets have a separate icon when viewed in the Collection, they are also counted towards the general Rhythm Heaven sets.
