Also! There's this cool/skeevy Badge Center game for the Jp 3DS. 90 yen gets you 5 tries at a crane game to win stickers, FIRST GAME'S FREE
You can win extra turns per day i think, i do not know japan language and i'm just relaying what i think happened by playing a different crane game where you try to grab the wooden cut-out with the hidden target on the back.
You win little badges and replacement icons for your home screen. You can waste tries and potentially end up empty-handed even after paying a buck (i think, it might give you tries until you win, but i'm not paying to find out).
Some of the normal badges:

The f2p lottery for characters isn't even uncommon anymore, but i'm still curious how/if they'll bring it over, since it's not even hiding that you're gambling for digital prizes. The rabbit is portrayed as a shyster and like Rusty's Real Deal, it's fascinating how open it is about knowing that you know that it knows how shady it is.
