Nintendo Switch Online adds Mario’s Super Picross, Mario Party 3 icons
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Nintendo Switch Online is ringing in October with new icons for Mario’s Super Picross and Mario Party 3 icons. This goes for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
Both of these are “play to unlock” rewards, but it’s actually pretty simple. If you start up the SNES app and play Mario’s Super Picross for even a second, those icons will be made available to you. The same goes for Mario Party 3 on the N64 app, though that requires a membership to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack tier.
