Yes, they are working on Badge Arcade but like everything, it takes time.
Badge Arcade will work differently on Pretendo though, you can’t have Nintendo themed badges since that infringes on their intellectual property so Pretendo will have their own custom ones.

thx for the info. I’ve just always loved badge arcade and was wondering if i could ever play again. i will wait for as long as i have to :>
it’d be epic if they made it so that it doesn’t reset your GYTB badge data, but I would understand if they can’t fix that…
we need bandwidth badges in the badge arcade!!!
From what I have last heard, the badge data is deleted because Nintendo made it so that the 3DS compares its local badge data to the server badge data. And since the servers don’t exist, it reports that you have no badges, so the 3DS sees that and deletes them. I believe it’s a sort of anti-cheat so people couldn’t just hack badges in without earning them/buying them first (I have never used Badge Arcade, so I don’t know how you obtain badges).

i hope so! and maybe theyd get rid of the transactions too.
If that feature came to wiiu thatd be awsome

Then why don’t you write them an email, asking them for permission?
Are you serious? They’re going to say no.
Nintendo is very restrictive over their IP.

Oh! Well, um… That’s, uh… that’s, uh… serious.
The close alternative would be for pretendo devs or someone to edit the badge arcade .bch model with a non nintendo model. An replace all textures, images, sprites, and so on with non nintendo art. Which, just isnt worth it in the long term. Given how long itd take to draw new art for the badge arcade.
If anything maybe the street pass games would make more sense. Given there not copyrighted as far as i know. Since nintendo of jpn forgets street pass even exists.

I think it would absolutely be fun and interesting to have custom badges (maybe using community-made fan art?) in the badge arcade! It might or might not happen in the future, I don’t know.

What?! 
Well, they could still let the community draw new Pretendo art. That should be fairly easy (and if i understand, if one badge would have to be “removed”, they could just be replaced instead via a new update of the server badge).
