Nintendo Switch Online Releases Exclusive Mario & Luigi Icons for a Limited Time

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers are in for a treat with the release of exclusive Mario & Luigi: Brothership profile icons.

Available for users of the Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED, this offer isn’t locked behind the pricier Expansion Pack tier. However, there’s a catch — it’s only available for a limited time and, once it’s gone, it may not return.

How to Get Your Hands on the New Icons To celebrate the launch of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Nintendo has rolled out the first of five waves of exclusive icons, featuring beloved characters like Mario, Luigi, and Peach. This initial wave is available until November 13, with subsequent waves dropping weekly until December 4. Each icon can be redeemed for 5-10 Platinum Points and will remain yours even if your subscription lapses.

Subscription Options for New Users For those without a subscription, Nintendo Switch Online offers multiple plans:

• Monthly: $3.99
• Three-Month: $7.99
• Yearly: $19.99
• Family Plan: $34.99

A seven-day free trial is also available for those who want to test the service.

Why Now Is the Time to Subscribe Beyond exclusive profile icons, Nintendo Switch Online provides access to an extensive retro game library featuring NES, SNES, Game Boy, and N64 classics, as well as unrestricted online play. The exclusive Mario & Luigi: Brothership icons are an added bonus that brings a unique touch to your gaming profile.

Once the current wave of icons is gone, it’s rare for Nintendo to bring them back, and if they do, it could be after a long wait.
