Twitter reacts to the custom Kirby icon giveaway
While it seemed like an excellent opportunity to offer fans some custom Kirby icons. But the plan didn’t go as Nintendo planned. Most fans were unhappy about the giveaway as they didn’t want Kirby icons. Instead, they asked Nintendo to release custom icons from other games like Xenoblade and Bayonetta.

Say what you will about Switch Online but I appreciate that Nintendo has been regularly updating the available icons since they started offering them, though I hope they eventually expand to less represented series instead of more Mario/Kirby/Zelda
