Fire Emblem: Three Houses was developed by Intelligent Systems with support from Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch, launching on July 26, 2019.
The profile icons are available as part of the My Nintendo rewards program and must be redeemed using My Nintendo Platinum Points.
In journalistic terms: Nintendo has made Fire Emblem: Three Houses profile icons available again for a limited period, and players must use Platinum Points from their My Nintendo account to claim them via the Switch profile customization interface or the My Nintendo site.
Exact availability windows for the icon drops are as follows:
- Wave 1: 8/19 at 6:00 p.m.
PT – 8/26 at 5:59 p.m.
PT
- Wave 2: 8/26 at 6:00 p.m.
PT – 9/2 at 5:59 p.m.
PT
These times are listed in Pacific Time and reflect the limited windows during which the icons can be claimed.
As with other custom profile icon distributions, the items are tied to My Nintendo’s Platinum Points catalog rather than direct purchases on the Nintendo eShop.
How to claim the icons (verified steps):
- Ensure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Switch user account and that you have Platinum Points in My Nintendo.
- On the Switch, open the user profile or the system’s profile customization menu and follow prompts to redeem My Nintendo rewards; alternately, visit the My Nintendo website to redeem available profile icons to your account.
- Confirm the redemption; the icon should then be selectable from the profile edit screen on your console.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses remains one of the most discussed entries in the Fire Emblem franchise since its July 26, 2019 release on Nintendo Switch.
This limited reissue of profile icons offers collectors and new players alike a chance to add official Three Houses artwork to their Switch profiles.
For the latest availability updates and to verify your My Nintendo balance before the windows close, check the Nintendo eShop and My Nintendo pages on your console or through Nintendo’s official website.
