Creating a Unique Nintendo Switch Profile Icon: Step-by-Step Guide For those new to this perk, Nintendo Switch Online members can access the Icon Maker directly from the HOME Menu. Once inside, players navigate to the ‘Missions & Rewards’ section, where available icon elements and missions are displayed. To acquire these elements—which include favorite game characters, vibrant backgrounds, and distinctive frames—players use their hard-earned My Nintendo Platinum Points. Fans can earn additional Platinum Points by completing various missions within the Nintendo ecosystem. When a player is ready to personalize their profile, they simply combine selected elements in the Icon Maker to craft a unique avatar.
