Nintendo Switch Online Adds Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4 User Icons for Subscribers

Nintendo Switch Online Expands Customization With New Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4 User Icons Nintendo Switch Online (NSO), Nintendo’s signature subscription service for Switch owners, has just introduced new ways for fans to personalize their profile.

As part of its ongoing updates, NSO now offers user icons inspired by Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4, two beloved games from the company’s platforming archives.

These new icons celebrate the enduring popularity of Wario, the greedy yet charming antihero who first captured players' imaginations in the late 1990s. Wario Land 3, first launched on the Game Boy Color in 2000, and Wario Land 4, which debuted for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, are widely recognized for their inventive level design and unique mechanics.

Both games are currently available to play through Nintendo Switch Online's expansive retro library, reinforcing Nintendo’s commitment to preserving classic titles for new generations of gamers. To unlock the newly released Wario Land-themed user icons, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers need to engage directly with the source material.

According to official NSO guidelines, these icons can only be accessed once users play either Wario Land 3 or Wario Land 4 via the Nintendo Switch Online service.

This requirement incentivizes subscribers to revisit—or perhaps discover for the first time—Wario’s classic adventures on the platform. Nintendo representatives have emphasized the user-friendly and customizable nature of these new icons.

In a statement, a spokesperson noted that the Wario Land icons are fully compatible with existing Switch Online user icon customization options, allowing players to mix and match different frames, backgrounds, and character art to suit their personal taste.

This latest addition further enhances the personalization features that have become a popular aspect of the NSO ecosystem. The rollout of Wario Land 3 and Wario Land 4 user icons follows Nintendo’s broader strategy of regular content updates to reward loyalty and maintain engagement within its online community.

Past updates have included icons and frames inspired by other classic Nintendo series, giving subscribers plenty of options to represent their favorite franchises on their user profiles. Nintendo Switch Online continues to grow its appeal through retro game access, exclusive members-only rewards, and new customization features such as these Wario Land user icons.

As Nintendo invests in legacy content and celebrates its iconic characters, fans are given fresh opportunities to showcase their gaming preferences every time they log onto the Nintendo Switch platform. For Nintendo Switch Online subscribers eager to show off their love for Wario, playing through Wario Land 3 or Wario Land 4 is now the key to unlocking this brand-new set of user icons.
