Pilotwings, Animal Crossing and Mario icons now available for Switch Online members

Nintendo has added a fresh batch of profile icons to Switch Online, drawing from Pilotwings, Pilotwings 64, Animal Crossing, and Mario properties. The Pilotwings selections - seven icons from the original game plus additional ones from the N64 sequel - are available through September as part of the service's rotating monthly icon offerings. The collection appears designed to give subscribers a wider range of classic Nintendo character and game artwork to customize their profiles with.

The icon drops reflect Nintendo's ongoing strategy of leveraging its back catalog to add incremental value to Switch Online membership. By cycling themed batches monthly, the company keeps the service feeling fresh for long-term subscribers without requiring major feature additions.

• Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 icons join the monthly rotation, available through September.
• Animal Crossing and Mario icons are also part of the current offering.
• Monthly icon rotations serve as a steady retention tool for Switch Online subscribers.
