Nintendo Switch Online Updates: EarthBound User Icons Now Available for a Limited Time Nintendo has announced the addition of new EarthBound-themed user icons for Nintendo Switch Online members, giving fans of the legendary RPG series a fresh way to personalize their Nintendo Switch profiles.

These exclusive user icons celebrate the classic EarthBound series, which remains one of the most cherished franchises in Nintendo’s extensive game library. EarthBound is widely regarded as a cult hit and was originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994 (Japan) and 1995 (North America).

The game continues to attract new fans thanks to its quirky humor, memorable characters, and unique art style.

Its continued relevance is underscored by the inclusion of iconic characters and motifs as part of the current Nintendo Switch Online rewards. Nintendo Switch Online members can redeem these EarthBound user icons by using Platinum Points—Nintendo's digital rewards currency.

Platinum Points are accumulated by completing various missions within the Switch ecosystem and via My Nintendo rewards activities.

To access and redeem the new icons, players should navigate to the Nintendo Switch Home Screen, open the Nintendo Switch Online app located at the bottom, and browse the available icon rewards under the Missions & Rewards section. With the announcement, Nintendo stated that these EarthBound icons would be available only for a limited window.

Users have until December 8 to claim their favorite designs, making it important for fans to act swiftly.

Once redeemed, the custom icons can be used as profile images, allowing players to showcase beloved EarthBound characters whenever online or playing with friends. As with previous Nintendo Switch Online icon collections, this release not only rewards Nintendo fans but also keeps the legacy of EarthBound alive for the current generation of gamers.

The inclusion of EarthBound-themed rewards follows a pattern from Nintendo, where series like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Kirby have all been featured in Switch Online's user icon lineup. Nintendo Switch Online continues to expand its appeal by offering exclusive member rewards, classic NES and SNES game libraries, and special in-game bonuses.

This latest EarthBound icon selection underlines Nintendo’s ongoing support and recognition of its classic franchises, further enhancing the value of a Nintendo Switch Online membership. For those interested in celebrating EarthBound on their Nintendo Switch, be sure to visit the Nintendo Switch Online app and claim the exclusive icons before the December 8 deadline.
