New Nintendo Download Brings Nintendo Badge Arcade

And little else.  The only full release across consoles is Stella Glow.

Nintendo Badge Arcade, a pseudo free-to-play, pseudo game all about acquiring badges to decorate your home menu, has launched this week.  While your first few tries are free, be prepared to spend some cash if you’re looking for more.  Or you can play the waiting game until Nintendo gives you more free tries.

Atlus’s Stella Glow releases on November 17th, and the demo is available now.  The strategy JRPG is developed by Imageepoch, the same people behind the DS’s Luminous Arc series, the Wii’s Arc Rise Fantasia, and the recent Criminal Girls Invitation on the Playstation Vita.

Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX hits the Wii U VC, and there are a few noteworthy sales (including the Affordable Space Adventures 20% off in time for its update), but otherwise it’s another bare week.

The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Network account.
