Nintendo Switch gamers urged to claim free download before it's gone in 24 hours

If you want to claim some Nintendo Switch freebies then you’re in the right place but you only have 24 hours to take advantage of the offer.

While it's always nice to claim free video games and DLC, it’s also nice to make our online gaming profiles stand out a little from the crowd regardless of the platform whether it's PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo.

Check out the Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer below!

Take for example our Nintendo Switch profiles. While we wait for Nintendo to finally give us dashboard themes for the Switch dashboard inspired by our favourite video games such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda or Metroid, we can at least let everyone know our favourite franchises courtesy of our profile icon.

There are already lots of free base icons that we can use on our profiles but if you want something a little more exclusive, then you might want to claim these Switch icons that can be purchased with the free Nintendo currency, Platinum coins.

As brought to our attention by the Twitter account NSO Icons Alerts, you can claim free Nintendo Switch icons inspired by everyone’s favourite stereotypical Italian plumber, Super Mario. However, you only have until 16 September to claim them before the next rotation of icons comes into play.

You can access the free icons via the Nintendo Switch home screen by going to ‘Nintendo Switch Online’ and then selecting the ‘Missions & Rewards’ section. Depending on which icons you choose, they will cost five or ten Platinum coins.

We can’t wait to see what free Nintendo Switch icons we can claim next week. That said, with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom arriving later this month on 26 September, hopefully, it will be something inspired by our adventures in Hyrule.
