History Edit

Nintendo Badge Arcade Edit

 
Arcade Bunny's appearance in Nintendo Badge Arcade

In Nintendo Badge Arcade on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, the Arcade Bunny acts as the game's guide, providing information and news to the player. He works in the arcade the game takes place in, a position he openly loves. The Arcade bunny, an enthusiastic gamer, admits that he works at the arcade so that he can play the games as soon as they are released. He is also passionate about the badges up for play in the arcade and often alludes to his boss, telling him to upsell. The Arcade bunny is featured in a number of his own series of badge sets as well, being offered under special promotion times.

After the player first participates in Nintendo Badge Arcade, every day, starting at 2:00 a.m., the Arcade Bunny may initiate small game-related chatter to promote a new set of badges. After this chatter, he gives the player one free play, which is one attempt to get a badge or more. In the meantime, though, the Arcade Bunny makes comments on the themes of the current badge catchers.
