December brings exciting news for Metroid fans and Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
In celebration of the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo has introduced a new series of profile icons for Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid 2: Return of Samus.
These exclusive icons are now available on Nintendo Switch Online, aligning with the community’s growing excitement around the Metroid franchise. For those unfamiliar, Metroid: Zero Mission is a critically acclaimed remake of the original Metroid, released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004 by renowned developer Nintendo.
Metroid 2: Return of Samus, originally launched for the Game Boy in 1991, was later celebrated for its innovative gameplay and pivotal role in the Metroid series.
Both games are currently accessible on Nintendo Switch through the GBA app and Game Boy app, available to Nintendo Switch Online members. Switch owners can access five unique character icons from each title, providing ample customization for profile avatars.
Each icon costs 10 Platinum Points and can be redeemed through My Nintendo, Nintendo’s rewards program that allows users to earn and spend points on digital content and bonuses.
Both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 users are eligible to claim these icons. Nintendo notes that these exclusive icons fall under the "play to unlock" guideline.
To make the Metroid: Zero Mission icons available, subscribers need to launch the game via the Game Boy Advance app.
Similarly, the Metroid 2: Return of Samus icons are unlocked by starting the game on the Game Boy app.
Upon launching each game, users automatically earn 50 Platinum Points per title, totaling 100 Platinum Points for both.
This approach incentivizes active engagement with classic Metroid experiences while rewarding fans with fresh personalization options. This initiative is part of Nintendo’s broader effort to enhance the value of the Nintendo Switch Online service, which has seen significant content updates in recent months.
The service, which includes access to a growing library of classic NES, SNES, Game Boy, and GBA titles, continues to expand its selection and reward subscribers with exclusive digital content. For those eager to showcase their Metroid enthusiasm, these new profile icons offer a timely way to celebrate the franchise and gear up for the upcoming Metroid Prime 4.
Fans interested in the latest Nintendo Switch Online updates and exclusive content can stay informed through official Nintendo news channels and the dedicated Nintendo Switch Online portal.
