The recent update to Nintendo Switch brought a new feature called Quests and rewards. While not very accomplished, these little quests encourage Switch owners to use and explore the Switch Online service.
With the update now available, anyone who has signed up for Nintendo Switch Online will have access to Missions and Rewards. This feature adds quests that, when completed, will yield some of my Nintendo Platinum Points upon completion. Tasks to complete include backing up to the cloud or starting Super Mario Bros. in the Switch Online NES collection, or other ways to make sure you’re discovering everything there is to do with your online subscription. To view these quests, simply visit the Nintendo Switch Online app on the Switch’s home screen.
Since the rewards are available using existing Platinum Points, you may have stocked up on a bunch of coins to redeem on a host of new digital items like new icon elements. These elements are the character image, frame, and background used to build and customize the icon image for your Switch profile. Right now, Switch Online users can pay Platinum Points for Animal Crossing and Mario Odyssey-themed icons, with a bunch of new icon elements becoming available each month. Or you can just save Platinum Points on physical and digital prizes already offered in the My Nintendo program.
