Nintendo just announced that ‘Quests’ and ‘Rewards’ have been added to Nintendo Switch Online.

These items can be accessed by going to the NSO icon on the main toggle screen, then selecting the Tasks and Rewards section. Here you’ll find a list of available missions, which relate (as Nintendo says) to “things you might already be doing with your Nintendo Switch Online membership, like playing online or trying out your classic game library.”

So what do you get for participating in these missions? What are platinum points? They can be exchanged for items in the My Nintendo Store as usual, but also “exclusive code items for new members that you can collect and combine to create a new user token.”

What are the elements of an icon, you ask? These are the frames, characters, and background items that you can use to customize your User Token on your Switch console. It’s the icon that people also see when you’re online, so there’s a motivation to make your code as unique as possible.

Each month will have a different theme and the icon items will be updated weekly – at the moment we have them Animal Crossing: New Horizons (March birthdays) and Super Mario Odyssey– Themed items to win.
