As part of the Mario & Luigi: Brothership launch celebrations, Nintendo has released a new batch of Switch Online icons.
Wave one runs from now until 13th November and includes characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach and a bunch of new faces. These character portraits will set you back 10 Platinum Points and borders and backgrounds will cost 5 Platinum Points.
Here's a look at the first wave, courtesy of 'NSO Icon Alerts' on social media:
So far, Mario & Luigi: Brothership has been mostly well-received by critics, and is currently sitting on an aggregate score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic and OpenCritic. Here on Nintendo Life, we gave the game an "excellent" 9 out of 10 stars.
If you're planning on picking up Brothership this week, you can make use of Nintendo's voucher offering, which allows you to redeem two select digital games from the Switch eShop. There are also plenty of other places online where you can order a physical copy of the game.
Will you be adding this game to your Switch library? Interested in any of the above icons? Let us know in the comments.

These are cool! Nice to see a good amount of character variety so far (the NSO icons struggle with that sometimes)
And I'm almost out of Platinum Points 😭
This game is just sooooo good, Holy moly. To the developers, thanks for this gem.
The animations the battle system pff is soo unique. Man now i know even more that IGN is full of @#& with their reviews lol.
I hope these developers keep making Unique RPG games. Love it, this game brings so much joy. I was smiling the whole time when playing it, goofiness, action, planning etc.
My favorite game of this year.
Yeah, after playing it for a while. (Completed the first island) IGN is absolutely incorrect in their score. IGN is a trash site that absolutely does anything for clicks. (Remember the whole "Too much water 7/10 thing for Pokémon Alpha Sapphire / Omega Ruby) Everyone is again talking about them, and them now also owning Nintendolife and others is very worrysome to me.
My personal review is going to have to wait until I at least finished 4/5 out of the game. But at least for now it's not yet a contender for the GotY for me. But only becasue my actual GotY (Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom) still is better, but I'll see how it goes.
If you want Nintendo news and reviews look no farther then Nintendo Life now owned by IGN.
Wait is Starlow in this???
Expected, but of course appreciated, immediately getting these icons and looking forward to the next waves!
I've also played the first island and yeah, if the game not only keeps on being like this, but also gets better going forward like Nintendo Life's review mentioned I couldn't disagree more with IGN's - in addition to not seeing "shockingly bad performance issues" at all for now, you can go through the text quickly by pressing the A button if the "overwhelming amount of text" bothers you for example (I'm doing it myself just to make it quicker even though I'm enjoying the story and especially the humor so far).
Oh, and before someone brings it up again, by "random encounters" PJ most certainly simply meant the usual enemies walking around the overworld as seen in previous Mario & Luigi games like I suspected since that's all I've been seeing!
I grabbed all of these. Love the art style for the game and I'm super excited to jump into it later today!
