Nintendo has added a new set of avatar icons tied to Yoshi and the Mysterious Book to Nintendo Switch Online, coinciding with the game's launch window on Nintendo Switch 2.
The icon campaign runs as a limited-time rotation, with weekly drops and claimable designs available through My Nintendo using Platinum Points.
The program offers character icons, backgrounds and frames tied to Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.
Character designs are priced at 10 Platinum Points each, while backgrounds and frames cost 5 Platinum Points apiece through My Nintendo.
Nintendo has confirmed that claimed icons remain in the user's account permanently, so players can continue to use them even if their Nintendo Switch Online membership lapses.
In journalistic terms: Nintendo stated the icon lineup will be refreshed on a weekly schedule, with new sets appearing every Wednesday (early Thursday in Europe) through June 17, 2026.
The company also made clear that once players exchange Platinum Points for an icon, that item is retained permanently in their Nintendo account regardless of active subscription status.

- Characters cost 10 Platinum Points; backgrounds and frames cost 5 Platinum Points.
