Nintendo Switch Online Expands Customizable Profile Icon Collection with Classic Titles
Nintendo has once again demonstrated its commitment to enhancing the Nintendo Switch Online experience by introducing a new set of customizable user profile icons.
This latest batch features exclusive designs inspired by "Mystery Murasame Castle" and "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team," available exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
Since the program's launch, Nintendo has consistently offered a rotating lineup of user icons, catering to fans of both classic and contemporary games. This update comes as part of Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to reward players with unique customization options on the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.
To unlock these newly-released profile icons, players must engage directly with the respective games—"Mystery Murasame Castle" and "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team." This approach encourages not only personalization of profiles but also engagement with Nintendo’s extensive gaming library. According to the official Nintendo Switch Online announcement, these exclusive profile icon designs will be available for a limited period, concluding on March 2.
During this window, users have the opportunity to explore these two classic titles and claim the special icons for their accounts.
By tying the icons to in-game progress, Nintendo adds another layer of value to its subscription service, further incentivizing both new and longtime fans to immerse themselves in these renowned adventures. Since its debut, Nintendo Switch Online has offered stable online multiplayer, cloud saves, and growing libraries of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy titles.
The addition of user profile icon customization, which includes icons based on fan-favorite franchises, has become a staple of the service’s user engagement strategy.
These features are available on both the current Nintendo Switch and set to continue on the Nintendo Switch 2, reinforcing Nintendo's position at the forefront of player-centric innovations in the digital gaming space. With launch dates for the featured games stretching back to the early 2000s for "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team" and even earlier roots for "Mystery Murasame Castle," the new icons celebrate Nintendo’s legacy while enhancing community identity.
Fans are encouraged to access the eShop, ensure their Nintendo Switch Online subscription is active, and experience both titles before the March 2 deadline to secure these limited-time profile icons.
