Fire Emblem and F-Zero Icons Arrive on Nintendo Switch Online for September

September marks another exciting month for subscribers of Nintendo Switch Online as Nintendo rolls out a fresh set of collectible icons.

This month, the spotlight is on two iconic franchises: Fire Emblem and F-Zero.

Available throughout September, these limited-time digital icons offer players a trip down memory lane while rewarding active engagement within the Nintendo Switch ecosystem. Nintendo Switch Online has consistently engaged its community with rotating sets of classic game icons.

For September, users can unlock exclusive icon sets featuring designs from Fire Emblem, the acclaimed tactical RPG series, and F-Zero, the high-speed futuristic racing game.

Both franchises have enjoyed long-standing histories with Nintendo, with Fire Emblem debuting in Japan in 1990 and F-Zero launching on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1990 as a flagship title. To access these icons, subscribers must meet the "play to unlock" criteria.

Essentially, users need to launch F-Zero on the SNES app and Fire Emblem on the Game Boy Advance (GBA) app available through Nintendo Switch Online.

Notably, Fire Emblem requires players to have an active Expansion Pack tier subscription, reflecting its status as a premium offering within Nintendo's online service structure. Each of the two games provides five unique icons, available for a cost of 10 Platinum Points each on the My Nintendo rewards platform.

Platinum Points are Nintendo’s system-wide reward currency, easily earned through various activities, including simply launching both featured titles this month.

Users can earn 50 points for playing each game, totaling 100 Platinum Points—more than enough to cover the cost of all the available icons. Once redeemed, these icons become permanent assets in the user’s profile, remaining accessible even if a Nintendo Switch Online subscription lapses in the future.

This policy ensures that digital collectibles hold lasting value for Nintendo fans who enjoy customizing their online persona. Nintendo Switch Online continues to expand its value proposition with retro titles, online multiplayer, and exclusive in-game content.

The frequent introduction of new rewards and icons underscores Nintendo’s commitment to enriching the subscriber experience on Nintendo Switch.
