Rieti is a city and comune in Lazio, central Italy, with a population of 47,700. It is the capital of province of Rieti and see of the diocese of Rieti, as well as the modern capital of the Sabina region; the town centre stands on a small hilltop, commanding from the southern edge the wide Rieti valley, at the bottom of the Sabine hills and of monti Reatini, including mount Terminillo. The plain was once a large lake, drained by the ancient Romans, is now the fertile basin of the Velino River. Only the small Ripasottile and Lungo lakes remain of the larger original. According to the legend, Reate was founded by a divinity, it was founded at the beginning of the Iron Age. In earlier times the lands around Rieti were inhabited by Umbri by Aborigines and on by Sabines, who reached the lands sited in the nearby of Tevere river. Reate was a major site of the Sabine nation well before the foundation of Rome. According to the legend, when Romulus founded Rome, Romans kidnapped Sabine women in order to populate the town and this led to a war between Romans and Sabines.

The battle of the Lacus Curtius came to an end only when the women threw themselves between the armies, begging the men who were by their relatives to stop fighting. Romulus and Titus Tatius relented and a collaboration between the two people started. According to an account more based on history, Sabines settled on the Quirinale because of their continuous need for grazing-lands. After the final Roman conquest, carried out by Manius Curius Dentatus in the early 3rd century BC, the village became a strategic point in the early Italian road network, dominating the "salt" track that linked Rome to the Adriatic Sea through the Apennines. Many lands of Reate and Amiternum were allocated to Romans. From the outset, Sabines were offered Roman citizenship but without voting rights, until in 268 BC they gained full citizenship, were incorporated into two new tribes. Curius Dentatus drained a large portion of the lake by diverting the Velino river into the Nera; the wide area once occupied by the lake turned into a fertile plain.

Following Roman customs, the land was split into characteristic square allotments. The town itself underwent significant development, being re-organised according to typical Roman urban standards, was fortified with strong walls. A stone bridge was laid across the Velino river, a large viaduct was built to bring goods from the Via Salaria directly to Rieti's southern gate. Roman Reate receives a number of mentions in Latin literature, thanks to its flourishing soil, its valued assets, some peculiarities of the surroundings. Cicero, for instance, describes the tensions between Reate and Interamna following the lake drainage, refers to the country houses that his friend Q. Axius owned in the plain. One of the most important Sabine families that gained success in Rome was the Gens Flavia, from which Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus descended; the Reatin poet and writer Marcus Terentius Varro was born in 116 BC and he is referred to as the father of Roman erudition. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire Rieti suffered destruction by Barbarians, but never ceased to be an important gastaldate during the Lombard domination, as part of the Duchy of Spoleto.

Under the Franks, it was the county capital. It was sacked by the Saracens in the 9th and 10th century and by the Norman king Roger II of Sicily in 1149; the city was rebuilt with the help of the Roman comune, from 1198 was a free commune, of Guelph orientation, with a podestà of its own. As a favourite Papal seat, Rieti was the place of important historical events: Constance of Hauteville married here by proxy Emperor Henry VI. Charles I of Anjou was crowned King of Apulia and Jerusalem by Pope Nicholas I in 1289. Pope Gregory IX celebrated canonized St. Dominic in Rieti. After the Papal seat had been moved to Avignon, Rieti was conquered by the King of Naples, while inner struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines broke out. In 1354 it was won back by Cardinal Albornoz, it became a feudal seigneury of the Alfani family within the Papal States. More of the surrounding plain was drained in the following century, but this led to confrontation with the neighboring Terni. Rieti was province capital of the Papal States from 1816 to 1860.

After the unification of Italy, it was part of Umbria, being annexed to Lazio in 1923. It became the provincial capital on January 2, 1927. Rieti has a warm-summer mediterranean climate, which in contrast to most of dry-summer Italy, which has a hot-summer mediterranean climate; the ancient Sabine and Roman city was crowded with buildings, including baths. Only scarce remains were found during excavations in 19th and 20th century: the foundations of a large temple, the stone floor of the main square, walls from private houses, concrete vaults and pottery items; the most striking remains are the stone bridge across the viaduct. Piazza San Rufo is traditionally considered to be the exact centre of Italy. Other sights include: Rieti Cathedral: Construction started in 1109 over a pre-existing basilica, was consecrated in 1225 and entirely rebuilt in 1639, it has a stunning Romanesque

Nintendo Badge Arcade, known in Japan as Badge Torēru Center, was a freemium application developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS, allowing players to customize the 3DS home menu with badges. The game launched in Japan in December 2014, worldwide in November 2015. Gameplay consisted of playing arcade crane-like games in hopes of acquiring badges, the games main collectable. Badges were themed around other Nintendo properties, once collected could be used to apply in the 3DS' HOME Menu. In addition to being decorative, some badges had special functions to them, such as launching applications and were compatible in other software as well. In June, 2017, it was announced. Nintendo Badge Arcade takes place in an arcade filled with machines known as Badge Catchers, each containing badges based on various Nintendo franchises such as Super Mario, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon which are reorganised regularly; the arcade is hosted by a pink, anthropomorphic rabbit character called Arcade Bunny, who always greets the player, introduces promotional events.

The Badge Catchers are viewed from a 2-D side-on perspective. Similar to real-life claw machines, players must move the catcher's claw side to side, pick up badges, try and drop them off the bottom-left of the screen, they can accomplish this by picking them up, or use other techniques such as pushing them or causing land-slides. Some Badge Catchers use alternate means of obtaining badges; the Hammer Arm knocks badges sideways towards the hole, the Bomb Arm blasts badges away in all directions, the Stick Arm sticks badges onto the arm. Any badges that the player obtains can be placed on the Nintendo 3DS' HOME Menu, with certain badges able to launch some of the 3DS' built-in applications. Most badges can be used as decorations for the Swapdoodle messaging app. First-time players begin the game with five free plays, after which they must purchase additional plays via the Nintendo eShop. Special themes for the HOME Menu, one set of badges based on Arcade Bunny, can be unlocked by purchasing enough plays during certain periods.

Once per day, players can use the Practice Catcher to practice catching dummy badges. Players earn a free bonus play for every ten dummy badges they collect, plus additional plays should they uncover a bonus badge. Additional plays may be offered to the player through occasional events. In theory, it is possible to have up to seven free plays in a single day, albeit chances of this happening are slim. All activities require a constant online connection. Arcade Bunny appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an assist trophy. Official website
