Nintendo Badge Arcade has just been released in the US and soon on EU.
Let's have a thread to discuss badges, tricks, Nikki and Baito.
Some tips and tricks from the Japanese version:
Badges ALWAYS come back.
The only ones that can take a while are seasonal like valentine's, new year's, etc, and those still come back in events.
You can go back and forth between machines repeatedly, this creates a small amount of momentum on the machines, depending on the machine, this can get you a couple free badges or even clear a complete machine, it can take a while, sometimes up to 30 minutes, but it's a way to get free badges without even spending your free tries.
Other machines, like the Mario Kart 8 bike Peach one that has an item block falling at the start, can also be manipulated this way.
If you swap machines while it's falling, it can alter the trajectory netting you a free Peach badge, or you can also just swap after it bounces to get a free item box badge.
You can get absolutely everything for free with patience and skill, you'll only want to pay for the free theme events where you get a exclusive badge-matching theme with a 10 tries purchase.
This themes also always come back, and again, seasonal ones can take a while, but still return eventually.
Have fun!
