Arcade bunny just sent me this message

>Hi there!

>First off, I have big news!
>Next week will mark the release of our 8,800 badge in the nintendo badge arcade !, Isnt that exciting?
>There is some bad news though... it seems we are running out of space...
>In other words we wont be making any more badges for the arcade, My boss decided that 6/22 will be when we release our last set of badges

>Since i wont have any new badges to talk about , my duties are slightly changing in the Arcade! I will greet everyone at the door i may be a little too busy to stay and chat!
>- Arcade Bunny

is the 3ds about to die? i've been playig this game since day one talking with the bunny every week and collecting every new Ashley badge, a lot of them still japan only, why end it now?

is it all over is he going to lose his job soon? im going to miss him ;_;

No, everyone just wised up and stopped buying jpegs

...

From what I read it is actually a space issue. The 3DS can't hold more than 8800 badges.

Also forgot to add that it isn't going away, you can still get the 8800, that number just won't increase.

actually i only put like 10 dollars to get all the mega man robot master sprite badges, i got most of the ashley badges free thanks to learning time right when the bunny gives you a free play and that 3 tries bonus
yeah i know but im going to miss the bunny with new autistic dialog every week, he felt so alive , i wonder if the last badge will be something special

...

That sucks tbqh

>Those hundreds of badges wasted on Splatoon clothing, Animal Crossing furniture, and Mario Party in general

>no more new badges
>the faggots at NoA won't even release half the fucking badges as it is

>all those slots wasted on fucking Amiibo cards
Amiibo Festival was a mistake in concept. How it made it to release is beyond me.

Nintendo thought Amiibo were so popular that people would buy literally any game that uses them.

Turns out people were buying Amiibo for shelf clutter and not the ingame content, so people weren't excited about buying 24 Animal Crossing Amiibo (the line was prematurely cut off after Lottie became the least popular Amiibo in history).

Nintendo needs to realize they need to just treat them as statues/toys and print more of the popular characters.

Not really, they explained in the JP Arcade a few weeks ago it had to do with the technical specs of the 3DS. Their original goal for the game was to hit 3000 badges and they hit over 10000.

The good news is this means they're most likely going to be giving 2 free plays every day like Japan has been getting.

I do hope Arcade Bunny finds a new home though. :(

fUCKING NINENTDO

No, their own cheapness backfired and they ran out of space on the default shitty ass 2GB SD card.

>buying jpegs
>jpegs you can only use on a menu screen

oh no!~~

Something like 90% of those badges are pure trash and most of the games are rigged so you have to spend $4+ to clear it.

I already noticed about a year ago that he stopped saying special dialogue with the practice catcher. It was 3 dialogue boxes, then it changed to 2.

There is not a single catcher that requires any more than six plays, the vast majority being four plays.

It's $1.25 for five plays.

>tfw you got all the ones you wanted
>and then hacked in the ones you were tired of waiting for
>then made some that were never going to happen
>stopped coming
>but liked the bunny
>now see this
NINTENDO BRING HIM BACK. I'D PAY FOR IT ALL AGAIN ON THE SWITCH
JUST FOR HIM
You gotta give me the full Able Sisters set and a badge for every villager tho.

They better release the Tektite and Trap Zelda sets.

At very least they got the Zelda Anniversary sets out. Even if they fucked up the coding so that only one of those sets appears in the gallery proper under that header.

>gifted my niece 50 nintendo shekels
>she spend it all on the badge arcade

Get shoa'd you fucking jew rabbit.

>niece hacks 3ds
>gets free games
>gets free nintendo money
>plays the crane game a bunch
>gets legit badges with nice names and shit
She's smarter than you.

There are some sets they are very unlikely to ever be released due to an exploit that can be performed by switching between 2 catchers at once. One of these is a certain animal crossing one, and maybe the Tektite one.

>prematurely cut off

What? all 16 were released as scheduled, there's a ridiculous number of them sitting on my shelf now

were there more?

Love how they already swept Federation Force under the rug. Because FedForce would have been the most recent entry.

I think they mean of the prime subseries, dude.

>Metroid PRIME: Federation Force

???

>See a badge you want
>its tucked in the Jew corner that needs at least 5 tries
>its a bomb crane

>not hacking in her own badges
Waste of money desu

why is this bunny so lewd?

Yeah and that's why in Japan they stopped at a little over 10,000 badges

What were the unreleased ones?

Those plays aren't. Where are you going to find a pretty neato arcade now?

Here lies Nintendo Badge Arcade: It never quite reached over 9000

sauce or more, please

Technically it did in Japan due to collab badges and badges they never released in NA, such as the first exploitable animal crossing one. RIP whatever the name of that Hamster villager was.

The last badge was already released in Japan, it was A badge of the Nintendo Badge Arcade. But it was huge, taking up like 9 badges.

Can we get it?
>first exploitable animal crossing one
What do you mean by this

We'll see Thursday

You could rapidly switch between the badge catchers to actually drop all the badges into the whole without using a single play.

>The good news is this means they're most likely going to be giving 2 free plays every day like Japan has been getting.
This would be fantastic. I mean, you'd still need to get 3 plays on some machines, but that evens up the playing field since that means 2-3 plays every single day.

I didn't ever do that. I heard of it, but I just kept holding L/R to do it once and it failed me.
Were you supposed to mash between LR? Because I didn't want to rape my buttons.

Yes, you were supposed to rapidly switch. You could use the circle/D-Pad too.
This glitch was also why every catcher released after Pushmo's were fixed in place.

You would press left/right or even better the touch screen since the touch screen works faster than the buttons. You can do it on certain machines early on when it came out in NA and EU, but they wisened up and you can't really do it outside of those specific machines anymore. We do have one of those "No plays and get all the badges" machines in NA/EU, it's the Chain Chomp one that has everything sitting in it on a flat plane. It starts out dropping all the badges and then on the right I think it was a star that's slightly higher than it. If the star falls to the left it's impossible to do it without paying, if it falls to the right and also slightly nudges the Chain Chomp then it will let the entire thing fall after about half an hour to an hour of switching.

There are also several machines even to today that you can mess around with to get a free piece or two, and you can even do it to nudge something off a cliff once you "activated" the piece. I did it to get Pixel Nikki and Pixel Peach to end up falling down their hole once I nudged them and the physics broke them. It seems like machines after Pushmo removed the "feature" at the start though, you have to "Activate" the pieces by either hitting them hard enough with another piece or actually grabbing them before they move and you can do the trick.

If you want examples, Nikki's system badges (The originals) can be pushed off after like three or so hours, and I know that one parrot that rests on the edge of a square piece can also fall off just by shifting machines.

>it takes hours
I may have some autism, but not like this. I can't enable it that much.
I don't regret the purchases though.

Im in love...

I'm pissed off at NoA for not giving us all of the Nikki badges.

>well they've got japanese letters in 'em and shit, maaaaaan

They fucking put out Legend of Zelda badges with hiragana and shit without bothering to translate it. They thought THAT was okay but THIS is not!? FUCK YOU.

Brings back some memories.
The chain chomp one was totally worth the half hour, tons of nice badges for barely looking at it while watching YT videos. Other ones like the staircase ones weren't really any good though, I did some but it was way too long for them.
The unreleased animal crossing one takes about 10 minutes.

>unreleased
>10 minutes
I don't follow. I'm just a stupid goy sho likes pretty pictures.

>no more fifty billion shitty Animal Crossing and Pokemon badges
>Arcade Bunny got less unique dialogue as time went on
Oh, boo hoo.
The arcade sucked.

At least we got ナニ to put on our home page in the end.

It was released in Japan, but will likely never be released in NA. It was too good a deal, a full catcher of badges for no effort at all and could be done without even needing the badges to spawn in a certain way.
Also the glitch was useful for anything with a little arrow block at the end of a slope, as you could jiggle it a bit and it would fall out withing 5 minutes, letting you slide off 3/4 the thing with a single play.

Same bro.
I have a 100% Nikki collection.

Nani? You mean from the Zelda hiragana set?

Yep.

...

You have good taste, user. I get very emotional over her.

Only character I always made sure to 100%.
My favorite.

She's the best. I made sure to buy all of her swapdoodle DLC to support her as well. Speaking of which, I need to swap more doodles... I've really been slacking off. Shit.

I haven't done much with swapdoodle, I have no friends and my sister is the only one that draws on the 3DS. It's nice though, a decent enough successor to Swapnote.

Well, I've got tons of people added, including online friends I've been neglecting for awhile. I haven't signed onto steam or anything in months because I haven't been drawing enough. I really need to get back to it.

>Those machines that were strictly filled with Nikki we had just recently
I was so happy since the rest require you to basically grab the entire board just to get a chance at her. Missed Splatoon Nikki the first time because the last piece slipped out and didn't fall off to the right and I've hated those kind of boards. Shogun Nikki was also a ridiculous one to grab.

I didn't care how hard they were to actually get, I just knew I had to have them.

Shogun Nikki was easy as fuck, her catcher could be completed in 2-3 plays if you went for the baby cabbages first.
Good luck user

I was having no luck at all with Shogun Nikki, I must have wasted like ten plays at least before I finally got lucky and got a triple play and she decided to finally stay on the damn hook. Splatoon and there's one other crossover one that are the worst though.
>Circular items
>Grip strength set to low
>Final Destination.

thanks. sorry for the blog

All you have to do is grab the cabbages and slightly knock the cat so it falls off. Then Nikki will be easy pickings and likely slide out and hit the panda.
The splatoon one was stupid though.

My problem was I was just not getting double plays at all so I'd try daily to try and get to her in a single grab.

The single worst Nikki catchers are those box ones though, oh dear lord my anger at those box ones. Especially when they hide Nikki all the way at the end.

They always take 4 plays if you mean the staircases though. Is that what you mean?

Yep. What's your strategy on them because if it's pushing on the right side to get them to move it doesn't always work. Sometimes the one in the center refuses to fall down two steps, other times the one at the end refuses to go even one step, and so on. I hate those ones so much.

You hit the first box with the left side of the claw, then move the second in the same way, then move the third. If you can, you also could just hit the first box and second box at the same time to save a play and make it 4 plays, which is what I do. Plenty of videos exist for it. Not too hard, the only ones that are really awful are those pinhole accuracy ones with the pusher.

>the only ones that are really awful are those pinhole accuracy ones with the pusher.
Personally I've never had a problem actually landing the hits on these ones, I just hate they're always 4+ medal requirements. Bomb seesaws are also nightmarish since they can potentially be 5+ if you're unlucky with your throws.

Those bomb baskets are way worse than any of the seesaws. Seesaws you just have to be careful with and knock them off the end slowly without trying to mash the ones in the middle. Baskets can turbo fuck you for the last badge in the left side of the basket.

>Baskets can turbo fuck you for the last badge in the left side of the basket.
Don't remind me man, so many complete clears lost to nonsense like that since it takes like 3+ bombs to even wedge them out of there. Bomb machines seem to definitely get the worst ones, especially when there's no ice involved.

Bombs always sucked ass.
The best ones were always the hammer ones hitting huge walls of badges, like the LoZ one or that SMM one with the block tiles.

>mfw hacked 3ds and i can just make my own badges

Go eat a poisoned carrot.

>never released some of the AC, Ashley, Nikki and Zelda sets
Now it'll never be complete.

Theres still next week

It's Pokemon most likely.

Nikki sent out a swapdoodle saying the last batch of Nikki badges put out were the last.

They're never putting them out.

Depressing trips. I saw that swapdoodle too.
At least I have a big collection to surround my Swapdoodle icon.

I don't think I very much like Nikki always being associated with goodbyes. It's really upsetting!

>tfw still have swapnote tucked away in a little folder
>useless but can't bring myself to delete all the notes inside

You would be a monster to delete them.

I hope they somehow has it for the Switch. It was pretty fun at the start getting the different ones. The only annoying part was the limited ones.

I know user, I know.
Goodnight and remember to keep your notes as long as the 3DS is working.

Of course!

>Using Badge Arcade when you can just make your own badges with CFW
???

You just don't get it.

Wasting money on a BS 'game' to get a few JPEGs?

I love her.

>paying to beg Jew Arcade's rng for new badges instead of installing GYTB and unlocking every official badge as well as being able to use any image you want, like having a picture of Ruto with huge tits spreading her legs and your most played games on either side of her
Nah, it's a good thing it on the way out.

>only pokemon i wanted badges for never got them

My custom badges are better than official art anyways

>huge tits

Thats katakana though. Hiragana would be ăȘに
