Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
Over one million unique users have accessed the new Collectible Badge Center application in Japan since launch, Nintendo announced today. This milestone was reached in just under a month, as the 3DS download was made available on December 17.
The sales rabbit from Collectible Badge Center provides a bit of additional information as well. There’s been one user who has collected over 100 Isabella badges, a customer who only collects badges that look like money or coins, and someone who’s great at the practice machine, but isn’t so great when it gets to the real thing.
To celebrate today’s news, users will receive two free plays on the real machines.
It’s also been revealed that a patch is in the works for Collectible Badge Center. This will be made available in March.
