Nintendo Switch Online – New icons

Nintendo announced several new features for the Nintendo Switch Online app for Nintendo Switch consoles. They’ve specifically updated the app’s “Objectives and Rewards” area, introducing a new set of missions to accomplish for Platinum points, as well as new user icon components to buy with the same points.

New profile icons

The latter is especially remarkable, considering the last time members were given new profile icons was during a system upgrade in November 2020. Nintendo is also releasing new backgrounds and frames to go along with these new symbols, allowing users to further customize their user profiles. These new user components will be accessible until April 4, 2022, when they will most likely be replaced with another set.

The emphasis of this initial wave of icon components is on Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with new icons, backgrounds, and frames themes available for both titles. While the Super Mario Odyssey components will be unavailable next month, the current goal for the Animal Crossing theme is to provide new symbol elements each month based on residents with birthdays that month.

A subscription to the Nintendo Switch Online app is also necessary to access these new icon components, since this feature is only available via the Nintendo Switch Online app.
