I'd been using most of my daily Free Plays this week to grab the first two regular Game & Watch badges, in hopes that I'd score a Free Triple Play in the practice run, to be able to grab the Virtual Boy Controller & System. Today, as luck would have it, it finally happened! With a Free Triple Play plus an extra play from 10 badges -- and I needed all 4 plays -- I was able to grab both VB badges!

    I used my daily Free Play to position my crane to the left of the top regular G&W badge, and it would push both regular ones down, given that the platforms are ice. The first bonus play, I grabbed the Dual Screen G&W, which also pushed the VB controller down-right and flipping it on its side, making it easier to hook & catch on my next bonus play, given the controller's handles.

    [Oh hey, I can post pics of machines while they're not in play.] Pulling the arrowed stick from below the VB System's block was tricky. I thought, the first time, that it was just a matter of the crane pulling it when doing the grabbing motion. Wasn't enough. So then I thought, maybe I'm supposed to actually grab the arrow? Tried it -- and worryingly failed to grab it. But on the upward motion,

    the crane pulled it JUST enough more for the block, and the VB System, to fall. Success! (And relief!) Given how huge a fan of stereoscopy I am -- I've got an actual Famicom 3D System glasses & device set, and the eight games for it (but not a VB console or any games yet!) -- getting this set of badges means a lot!

    Glad to hear someone else loves 3D! I've got a 3DTV, I use the 3D on my 3DS, we go to see movies in 3D at the theater, etc. I see so many whiners bashing it...

    I'm also really glad I was able to do it with Free Plays, as I don't pay to play. There's also a Bowser Mario Party 10 badge I really want, but 'cause of this purposeful self-limit, I haven't gotten it. [Even the Famicom 3D System & games took a while to get, as I was mostly bargain hunting. I tend to get games only at lower-end or great-deal prices, to keep expenses on luxury goods down.]

    Heya Benjamin! Glad to see another 3D fan! To be fair, though, there are legitimately people who do find 3D to be too bothersome or even painful! I've learned to accept that many people prefer to play in monoscopy. I just hope it's still worth it for Nintendo to put stereoscopic features (embedded 3D display, maybe compatibility with the few 3DTVs out there?) on the NX. [Please please please!]

    Congrats on the haul! Believe it or not, I managed the exact same accomplishment today! I used the free play + a super bonus to snag all the VB badges! I don't know if I'll ever find a use for those badges, but at least they're part of my collection now!
