I stan that pudgy Mario from MRPG — Nintendo needs to sell him as a squishy keychain!

That's awesome since I've saved up a lot of points and strongly remember running out and missing a few at one point.

@CaleBoi25 - I wonder if it’s already a thing at Nintendo World!

I hope they bring back the Xenoblade icons, I was busy all week when they had the Xenoblade 2 ones up and I completely forgot to check for them.

It amazes me that you still can’t just set a background by itself, as an icon. I don’t like the fact that they force you to add a character to it, in order to be able to use it. Seems pointless to even offer backgrounds if you’re going to enforce this… 🙄

@90sRetroGaming,

I thought you used the backgrounds in conjunction with the other elements, to create more in depth, layered avatars, Not sure using only the background would have much point. I have no issues with you wanting this feature.... but still.

Nice, I've definitely missed some of these icons so I'll try to get them this time!

Fantastic stuff to see! Pretty sure I missed out on a bunch of icons from FE Engage, Pikmin and especially Kirby's Return to Dreamland DX so I'll gladly take the opportunity to pick them up again!

still a shame that we probably aren't getting reruns of the NSO retro icons though 🥲

I wish they'd bring back the ones that were NES themed, I forget what it's specifically called (it had the NES Deck 2 as an icon). I want more of that.

Managed to snag some Metroid Prime Remastered icons I missed out on the other day.
