Splatoon 3 Switch Icons Return: Latest Nintendo Switch Online Rewards Available Now

Nintendo Switch Online is once again delighting fans with the global release of a new wave of Splatoon 3 profile icons, available exclusively to service members.

Following last week's Japan-only Mother 3 icon drop and the return of previous Splatoon 3 icon batches, this latest update signals Nintendo's ongoing commitment to engaging its user base through vibrant, game-themed rewards.

The newest collection features a fresh lineup of cartoon-inspired portraits starring fan-favorite Inklings, Octolings, and vibrant backgrounds pulled from Splatoon 3’s distinctive world.

These new icons and backgrounds can be redeemed directly through the Nintendo Switch Online app via the Nintendo eShop, with character icons available for 10 Platinum Points each and backgrounds obtainable for 5 Platinum Points apiece.

According to posts by the community account 'NSO Icons Alerts' on social media, these rewards will rotate on a weekly basis, with each set available for one week.

The current cycle is scheduled to continue through March 27, 2024, giving fans several opportunities to personalize their Switch profiles before the offerings change again. This latest Splatoon 3 icon wave follows a series of similar Nintendo Switch Online reward programs designed to celebrate major first-party releases and seasonal events.

Recent weeks have also seen new icon sets themed around 'Super Mario World' and 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons.' Notably, these releases sometimes introduce gameplay engagement requirements—players must interact with the corresponding titles on Nintendo Switch before being eligible to purchase and use those icons, adding an interactive element to the rewards system. Splatoon 3, developed by Nintendo, remains one of the platform’s flagship multiplayer experiences since its launch in September 2022, continuing to generate high engagement both in competitive play and fan-driven activities.

Nintendo’s use of themed profile icons has become a widely appreciated feature, allowing users to showcase their favorite titles and characters across the system’s online ecosystem. Nintendo Switch Online members interested in acquiring the latest Splatoon 3 icons can do so via the digital rewards section of the eShop.

Regular weekly updates ensure that fans have additional chances to collect limited-run designs and backgrounds associated with their favorite Nintendo franchises. For more information on available and upcoming Nintendo Switch Online icon sets, members can visit Nintendo's official site or monitor official communication channels.

Make sure to check out the latest updates before the current Splatoon 3 icon rotation ends on March 27, 2024.
