Nintendo Switch Online Profile Icons Daily Rerun Event Begins
Nintendo has announced a special holiday treat for subscribers to their online service, revealing that profile icons from the past year will be making a return starting today. According to a report by Sickr at My Nintendo News, these icon elements will be rerun daily over the next two weeks. This event provides a perfect opportunity for gamers to collect any customization options they might have missed during the initial release windows.
The daily rotation system means that the selection available in the Missions & Rewards section of the Nintendo Switch Online app will change every twenty-four hours. This rapid schedule is quite different from the usual weekly or monthly waves that users are accustomed to. Fans will need to check their consoles frequently to ensure they do not miss out on their favorite characters or backgrounds for a second time.
Several major franchises are confirmed to be part of this encore event. Users can expect to see returning icon parts from hit titles such as ‘Mario Kart World’ and ‘Donkey Kong Bananza’, both of which have been popular on the new Nintendo Switch 2 system. In addition to these newer releases, staples like ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’, ‘Splatoon 3’, and ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ are likely to feature in the rotation.
Redeeming these icons follows the standard procedure that has been in place for some time. Subscribers can use their Platinum Points to purchase individual character portraits for 10 points each, while backgrounds and frames are typically available for 5 points. These points can be earned by completing various missions, such as playing specific games online or using the Nintendo Switch Online app on a smartphone.
With eight different Nintendo franchises set to have their profile icons return during this period, there is a wide variety of content to look forward to. The event serves as a nice bonus for the holiday season, allowing players to freshen up their user profiles with high-quality art. It is worth noting that these reruns are often the only way to acquire specific elements once their original distribution window has closed.
