We have a few more words out of Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, who today commented on Switch 1 sales in light of Switch 2 arriving later in 2025.

Super Mario Kart icons added to Nintendo Switch Online
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo Switch Online is kicking off the month with some new icons based on Super Mario Kart.
Outside of having an active subscription, in order to redeem the icons, you’ll need to boot up the classic game on the SNES app. They’ll then be unlocked. Note that there are seven character designs available and each one costs 10 Platinum Points on My Nintendo. Note that by simply booting up Super Mario Kart, you’ll be given 50 Platinum Points – so you can essentially get five of them for free.
