Shame they're waiting until the end to do King Boo but at least they're doing him.
I am so excited for that King Boo one. I literally can’t wait, and he is in Wave 4 too. KING BOO IS BACK!!! So hyped to finally have my favorite Mario character be my Switch Icon.
King Boo and E Gadd LET'S GO
Polterpup icon is the best thing to come out of this remake to be honest.
Love to see it, getting these icons for sure!
I'm all out of Platinum points at the moment. Nintendo needs to make it so we can earn more of them each week, because it's becoming increasingly impossible to keep up. The FOMO is strong. You already have to have a NSO account to be eligible to get the icons, so it kinda sucks they're temporary. The first wave of Luigi's Mansion icons ends on Wednesday, and I'm not eligible to earn more points till Monday, so I'll have like a two-day window to not forget to redeem them.
@Not_Soos Some of the Nintendo mobile apps (such as Pocket Camp and Mario Run) are great for getting platinum points. I recommend you check those out
Disappointing how you guys never made an article for Metroid Dread's new NSO icons, but yes, of course, do continue article promotions of the new game 😒
@Not_Soos Are you spending points on the My Nintendo rewards or something? I feel like I'm still spending platinum coins on icons every week and I still have over 1000 stockpiled somehow
No King Boo again, but there is one based off of something that is heavily related to King Boo so I will take it. Better than the treatment we got before
I am Polterpup ready.
@Not_Soos As @YunoboCo said, if you’re ever running low, just use the FE, AC and Mario Run apps to top up. The one-time achievements for doing basic stuff like linking your SNS or even My Nintendo account usually give quite a few Platinum Points. FE is particularly great as you don’t even have to actually play it lol, I’ve had 1000s of points from that game just by auto-playing every single battle.
The lack of variety is really bugging me, but at least we got one unique character this wave.
These icon selections are laughably bad. Someone must have the stats somewhere about the hundreds of icons that are never being used by anyone, because ninety percent of most waves are absolute nothings. If you don't have enough interesting art assets for three waves, you probably shouldn't be releasing three waves. And I say this as someone who is quite happy to have an obscure F-Zero car for an icon.
KING BOO ICON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! Also, the variety is of characters is once again really frustrating. 5 Luigi’s, 1 Polterpup and 2 Greenies IN EACH WAVE, but King Boo only gets one throughout the ENTIRE THING
