====Missions & Rewards==== | |||
From March 2022, Nintendo Switch Online members can access a "Missions & Rewards" section in the Switch's Nintendo Switch Online app where they can complete Nintendo Switch Online-specific tasks, such as opening the app, using the cloud backup feature, or playing online or a specific game on [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]], to earn [[My Nintendo]] Platinum Points which can then be exchanged for "icon parts" (characters, backgrounds, and frames) for use in their Switch profile pictures. The redeemable icon parts are categorized by game: a monthly "spotlight software" category that features a weekly selection of icon parts from a specific game, and an ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Horizons|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'' category that features icon parts for [[nookipedia:Villager|residents]] who have birthdays in the current month. Characters cost 10 Platinum Points each while backgrounds and frames cost five. After redeeming icon parts, the player can then assemble them in the icon collection sub-screen, after which they can then be applied to their profile picture. A background or frame cannot be redeemed without redeeming a character from the same game first. | |||
