Switch Online Yoshi icons rolling May 20

Nintendo started rolling out Yoshi and the Mysterious Book user icon elements for Nintendo Switch Online members on May 20, according to a post on its official news page. The icon set is being distributed through the Switch Online Missions and Rewards feature, which lets subscribers redeem My Nintendo Platinum Points for profile customization items. (nintendo.com) Nintendo said the Yoshi-themed elements are available “for a limited time,” with the release split into weekly waves. GoNintendo first highlighted the schedule in a May 21 post, and Nintendo’s own news listing matches the timing. The rollout is tied to Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which Nintendo lists as a Switch 2 exclusive released on May 21. (gonintendo.com) ### When can Switch Online members claim the first Yoshi icons? Wave 1 opened on May 20 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific and runs until May 27 at 5:59 p.m. Pacific, Nintendo said on its official news page. The company listed the availability window as part of a four-wave schedule for the icon campaign. Nintendo Everything reported the icons are rotating weekly, with a fresh set arriving each Wednesday in North America. (nintendo.com) That outlet said it would update its post as later waves go live. ### How long will the full rollout last? Nintendo and GoNintendo both listed four weekly windows ending on June 17 at 5:59 p.m. (gonintendo.com) Pacific. The schedule runs from May 20 to May 27 for Wave 1, May 27 to June 3 for Wave 2, June 3 to June 10 for Wave 3, and June 10 to June 17 for Wave 4. GoNintendo said a “new wave” will arrive each week until the week of June 17, 2026. That staging follows Nintendo’s standard pattern for Switch Online icon campaigns, where profile items are released in batches rather than all at once. (nintendo.com) ### What do the icons cost? GoNintendo said character icons cost 10 Platinum Points each, while borders and backgrounds cost 5 Platinum Points each. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Everything reported the same pricing and said the items are redeemed through My Nintendo. Nintendo’s official notice says members can redeem My Nintendo Platinum Points for the rewards, though the article excerpt visible in search results does not list the point totals. (nintendo.com) The pricing details in third-party coverage align with Nintendo’s usual icon-element structure for Missions and Rewards campaigns. (gonintendo.com) ### Is this tied to the game’s release? Nintendo listed Yoshi and the Mysterious Book as launching on May 21 for Nintendo Switch 2. The icon campaign began the evening before that release in Pacific time, according to the company’s news page. GamingBible and Nintendo Everything both described the icon drop as part of the game’s launch promotion. (gonintendo.com) Nintendo’s store page describes the title as a Switch 2 exclusive centered on Yoshi and a talking book named Mr. E. ### Where do members find the icon elements? Nintendo said the rewards are available through the Nintendo Switch Online Missions and Rewards section. (nintendo.com) That feature is accessible to subscribers and uses Platinum Points for redemptions, according to Nintendo’s notice and ongoing tracking pages that catalog current Switch Online rewards. The next scheduled change comes on May 27 at 6:00 p.m. (nintendo.com) Pacific, when Wave 2 is set to replace the first batch. Nintendo’s posted timetable shows the fourth and final wave ending on June 17 at 5:59 p.m. Pacific. (nintendo.com) (gamingbible.com)
