Best Buy has made its Black Friday 2015 deals known. There aren’t a whole lot of Nintendo sales to point out, but there are a few notable things.
One of the more notable discounts is for Splatoon, which will cost just $34.99. Given how Nintendo games tend to keep their value, that isn’t a bad price. Other highlights include $20 off New 3DS XL systems, a $30 Guitar Hero Live discount, and Disney Infinity 3.0 for $40.
You can get a look at Best Buy’s full gaming deals below.
Yet another Xenoblade Chronicles X video has arrived, this time showing the Black Steel continent. Check it out below.

An all-white New 3DS XL system might be arriving at some point in Europe. Towards the end of today’s Nintendo Badge Arcade trailer, the system is pictured alongside the standard New 3DS, which is already available in the region. Either Nintendo made an honest mistake, or we’ll be seeing an announcement soon!
A bunch of screenshots and art have come in for Nintendo Badge Arcade, which was just announced for Europe. Take a look at the various images below.
Collectible Badge Center is finally making its way outside of Japan. Today, it’s been announced that the application is launching in Europe via the 3DS eShop on Friday. The download will be distributed for free.
Here’s an overview of Nintendo Badge Arcade:
In this lively arcade run by a chatty rabbit, players can take a shot at crane games and similar classic amusements, collecting badges based on Nintendo games and series like Mario Kart, Splatoon and Animal Crossing. Badges can be used to decorate the HOME Menu, with some even usable instead of the standard system icons that access, among others, Nintendo eShop and StreetPass Mii Plaza – perfect for total HOME Menu makeovers.
Every day, visitors to the arcade get five free plays on a practice machine: it only offers dummy badges, but with skill and a little bit of luck, players can win free plays for the machines packed with real badges. Plays can also be bought at a price of £0.90 / €1.00 for five plays (All prices are Nintendo eShop prices, inclusive of applicable VAT).
Players can show off their unique HOME Menu designs via Miiverse, and check out other creators’ designs for inspiration. There’ll be plenty to discover in the weeks and months following launch too, as the badges and machines on offer will change regularly, opening up even more customisation possibilities.
It’s not yet known if/when Nintendo Badge Arcade will be releasing in North America. For now, watch a trailer for the application below.
