The new icons add more of the franchise’s distinctive characters to the Switch’s customizable profile options and are being distributed exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online members.
According to Nintendo, two more waves of Rhythm Heaven Groove icons will roll out in the coming weeks, bringing additional characters from the title into the Switch profile icon lineup.
The icons are available for the Nintendo Switch family of systems and can be used wherever Switch profile images appear on the platform.
As with previous profile icon drops, the new Rhythm Heaven Groove icons are customizable: players can mix and match icon borders and background plates.
Those decorative elements can be purchased with Platinum Points, the free loyalty currency awarded through My Nintendo by completing eligible missions and promotions.
Platinum Points purchases for profile decorations are processed through the Nintendo account ecosystem and apply across the Switch’s user profile interface.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can access the new icons through the Nintendo Switch Online menu on the Switch home screen.
Once acquired, icons and their custom borders/backgrounds can be applied to a user’s profile to appear in-game, in the friend list, and across other Switch UI areas that display account avatars.
The Rhythm Heaven series remains one of Nintendo’s recognizable rhythm-game properties, and merchandise-style tie-ins such as profile icons are part of the company’s ongoing support for community engagement on its platform.
Offering avatar content through Nintendo Switch Online and My Nintendo rewards continues a pattern Nintendo has used for other franchises, allowing fans to personalize Switch profiles while leveraging the publisher’s loyalty program.
For players looking to claim these assets: ensure your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet, confirm active Nintendo Switch Online membership, and check the Nintendo Switch Online menu for the new Rhythm Heaven Groove profile icon offerings.
