Nintendo bringing back various icons for 2025 releases

Nintendo has announced a new promotion for Switch Online in which it’s bringing back a series of icons that were released throughout the year.

Eight games will be featured in total. Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, F-Zero 99, Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Kirby Air Riders are all making a return. So if you missed out on these designs previously, you’ll have another chance to pick some of them up.

The promotion begins on December 26, 2025 in Japan (so probably December 25 in North America), lasting until January 12 (again, likely January 11 in North America). As always, icons will cost points on My Nintendo. You’ll be able to redeem icons for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
