Nintendo Switch Online is once again putting the spotlight on its growing library of profile icons, announcing the return of eight popular Nintendo franchise icon sets over the next two weeks.
This move allows Nintendo Switch Online subscribers to claim or complete sets of profile icons they may have missed during their initial releases.
As the Nintendo Switch ecosystem continues to evolve, customizable profiles have become a favorite way for players to showcase their connection to their most-admired series. Nintendo first introduced unlockable profile icons for Nintendo Switch Online members as a value-added feature through missions and rewards in the eShop.
With an ever-expanding library of character portraits and themed badges, many users have found it challenging to keep up with the steady influx.
This latest initiative is a direct response to fans eager for another opportunity to acquire icons they missed the first time around. Among the returning selections, icons from the acclaimed "Mario Kart World" and "Donkey Kong Bananza" will be available once again.
These sets feature artwork and character motifs from some of Nintendo’s most enduring and iconic franchises.
In addition, profile icons from six other key Nintendo series are slated to reappear, with the full roster detailed regularly via the official Nintendo Switch Online news feed and the eShop announcements section. A Nintendo spokesperson commented on the announcement, stating that Nintendo remains committed to enhancing the subscriber experience by ensuring fans have broad access to digital rewards and customization options. Fans can access the revived icons directly through the Nintendo Switch Online section of the eShop, where they can redeem Platinum Points—earned through completing missions or regular Nintendo Switch Online activity—for their choice of character and franchise-themed designs.
This latest wave of icon releases began today and will continue for the next two weeks, giving users ample time to revisit their favorite series or pick up designs from collaborations previously missed due to limited availability windows. Since its launch in 2017, Nintendo Switch Online has grown into more than just a subscription service for multiplayer gaming, incorporating exclusive game trials, retro titles, and unique digital perks like profile icons.
Nintendo’s approach has helped it continue to engage its substantial Switch user base, with frequent updates and community events centered around the most beloved franchises in gaming. For ongoing updates about returning icon sets and other Nintendo Switch Online news, fans are encouraged to monitor the eShop or subscribe to Nintendo's official communication channels.
With Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and other major franchise icons making a comeback, this is a prime opportunity for Switch owners to freshen up their profiles with time-limited, fan-favorite designs.
