Update your Nintendo Switch Online avatar with the sophisticated icon creator tool!
If you're looking to add a personal touch to your Nintendo Switch user profile, you can now create a custom profile icon using the icon maker feature and your My Nintendo Platinum Points. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
First, you'll need to access the Nintendo Switch Online app or the online service that supports the icon maker. Open the app on your compatible smartphone or navigate to the Nintendo Account online portal.
Next, use your My Nintendo Platinum Points to purchase various icon parts. These parts often correspond to specific Nintendo games or series, giving you a wide range of options to choose from.
Once you've purchased the icon parts you like, combine them to assemble your personalized profile icon. You can mix and match backgrounds, characters, and borders from different Nintendo games and franchises to create a unique profile picture for your Nintendo Account.
Finally, save and set this custom icon as your Nintendo Switch user profile avatar.
Earning Platinum Points comes from completing missions in the Nintendo Switch Online "Missions and Rewards" system. Missions include backing up save data or playing game trials, which you can then spend on various customization options.
This custom icon feature provides more variety and personalization beyond the default avatars or Mii characters originally available on the Switch system. However, a detailed UI walkthrough was not found in the search results. It's likely that the overall process revolves around purchasing icon parts with Platinum Points through the official Nintendo Switch Online app and combining them to create your icon.
Remember, a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and a Nintendo Account are required to access this feature. The membership also includes access to the Nintendo Music app and offers an auto-renewal after the initial term at the then-current price unless canceled.
So, go ahead and bask in your personalized profile icon after creating it. Happy customizing!
