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.

With the imminent reveal and eventual release of Nintendo’s next hardware, it’s safe to assume that we’ll eventually be seeing more retro platforms become available on Nintendo Switch Online. And with confirmation that the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with standard Switch software, it’s also safe to assume that its Virtual Console-esque offerings won’t be starting over with the NES. Many would tell you that GameCube is the next platform Nintendo should add to their online services, and that makes sense – but given how large these games are (plus the presence of many remakes and ports on Switch, including Metroid Prime Remastered, both Pikmin games, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and more), this seems unlikely. That said, the most likely platform to come to Nintendo Switch Online would be Nintendo DS. The Wii U actually had Nintendo DS games available for download on the eShop, so there’s some precedent here. And since Nintendo Switch lacks a microphone needed to play certain DS games, it’d make sense to wait for Switch 2 to release these titles back to the public.

So today, we’re looking at several DS games that Nintendo needs to add to Switch Online if or when the company does decide to add this platform to its lineup. Note that we’re only discussing likely games here – as great as the Pokemon titles on the DS are, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll ever be released this way – especially not when Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are already available and would be backwards compatible.
