    Nintendo Badge Arcade is the bare minimum of what could be sold as a game. It is a watered down digital crane game at the price of a full-sized one with physical prizes.

    What a horrible attempt at a cash-grab this game is. The amount of plays you can get daily is a bit on the low side and if you want to playWhat a horrible attempt at a cash-grab this game is. The amount of plays you can get daily is a bit on the low side and if you want to play more, it's 1€ (or equivalent) for 5 plays. And good luck making those five chances to count as most stages are made so that you will fail (just like carnival games - So realistic!). And the "mascot" of the game tries it's best to make you (or your kid) pay for those plays so hard it's not even funny. The only redeeming factor for this "game" is that some of the badges look pretty cool and that the daily plays can be enough to get those ones.… Full Review »

    Nintendo Badge Arcade is an attempt by Nintendo to grab whatever is left of your wallet. This "game" is really bad. I put "game" in quotationNintendo Badge Arcade is an attempt by Nintendo to grab whatever is left of your wallet. This "game" is really bad. I put "game" in quotation marks because it isn't really a game; it is a 1-to-1 crane machine simulator. The odds of winning are slim and you pay almost the same amount of money for 5 plays as a real crane machine (How realistic). Even though the badges are great, they don't come even close to saving this sorry excuse of a "game". Also, the bunny is very annoying.

    Final Score: 1 out of 10 (Absolute Trash!)

    This is just a way to sneak out money of the pocket of gamers. The same fraud as in the arcades, but even more worthless prices to win.
