Nintendo Switch Online Unveils Kirby's Dream Land & Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Profile Icons

Nintendo Switch Online Introduces Limited-Time Kirby Profile Icons From Classic Titles Nintendo is once again tapping into its iconic legacy with the release of exclusive user profile icons inspired by two beloved Kirby games: Kirby’s Dream Land (1992, Game Boy) and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (2004, Game Boy Advance). These new collectible icons are now available to Nintendo Switch Online members, continuing the platform’s trend of engaging subscribers with nostalgic bonuses. A total of 10 unique icons themed after Kirby’s Dream Land and 12 additional icons drawn from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror are up for grabs. However, acquiring the complete set comes with specific requirements. To access the Kirby & The Amazing Mirror icons, players must be subscribed to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, as this higher tier is necessary for launching Game Boy Advance titles—which are not included in the base Nintendo Switch Online plan. Additionally, players need to launch Kirby & The Amazing Mirror at least once on their Nintendo Switch to be eligible to redeem these icons. Each icon can be purchased for 10 Platinum Points, the digital currency earned for free by completing various My Nintendo missions. Nintendo Switch users can access these mission-based rewards via the dedicated "Nintendo Switch Online" menu, conveniently located at the bottom left of the Switch home screen. This interface continues to elevate user personalization on the platform, enabling players to build custom profile images with backgrounds and borders also redeemable for Platinum Points. In a statement reflecting on the latest offering, Nintendo emphasized the continued celebration of classic franchises through Nintendo Switch Online’s supplemental content. The company’s ongoing support for the My Nintendo rewards system has been well received, allowing fans to display their affinity for timeless games and characters through profile customization. These limited-time items represent another example of Nintendo leveraging its rich back catalog to engage both long-time fans and newer audiences. Players interested in expanding their profile icon collections should act promptly. The new Kirby profile icons are only available until May 4, 2026. With interest in collectible Nintendo Switch Online rewards at an all-time high, the latest Kirby additions join other character art sets previously celebrated through seasonal and anniversary events. Nintendo Switch Online launched in September 2018 and currently serves millions of members worldwide. The platform offers access to classic Game Boy, NES, SNES, and Game Boy Advance libraries, online multiplayer, and regular perks such as the eShop discounts and special content drops like these Kirby profile icons. For more details on Nintendo Switch Online tiers or to see the full catalog of available profile icons, subscribers are encouraged to visit the Nintendo Switch Online section on their console or check the official Nintendo website.
