Phew. Thanks a lot. My wife isn't much of a gamer, but has been looking forward to this collection. I was about ready to mourn my eyeballs, but this isn't too bad.
Currently, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is far and away the most popular Switch icon as voted on my site. So now I am wondering if the standalone Torna icon will do nearly as well. I hope so, I like it!
you get the icon for free! on your computer, phone, anywhere you want! :)
Consider me surprised. I was expecting the boxart in a box art thing that they did on PS4.
That's the icon I have on my PS4 so they may have changed it since release.
That red is so harsh on my home screen. For how cool the Labo icons have been, I was hoping for something a little more creative than this.

I think I like the icon for Torna even more than the one for the base game (although both are fantastic). Can't wait to finally get my hands on it Friday (the game, not the icon lol).
I've pushed it off the main row of 10. Hopefully they update it before the game is released.
LOL, I love this thread. That gif is perfect for the NES icon. I want to give it a pass but after a hard look it's... weak. Good enough, though.
The red is amazing... Curious how badly it will burn people their eyes out in the evening.
good times.

The NES icon is well-done in theory, but it's such a blinding shade of red that you could see it from outer space. Which is helpful if you're an alien spying on humans playing their Nintendo Switch and wondering, "Why do these people play these clunky-ass games," but it's a bit obnoxious otherwise.
I wonder if they could have made the name of the Nintendo app any longer...
The design of the icon makes sense with the Famicom version, since the two Famicom controllers are visually distinct from one another. The NES version looks like it just stacked two normal controllers on top of each other for no reason.

I preordered Dragon Ball FighterZ (loved it on PS4, excited to have it on Switch), and I was surprised there are TWO icons. Turns out the second icon, which is in Japanese, is for an obscure Super Famicon fighting game that you get as a preorder bonus, lol. I deleted it — you can always re-download it from your eShop account.
If only an official square icon existed...
Can people please please tell blizzard to update the icon?
I'm not buying it if we get that other garbage icon
Uuuuuuuuuuhhhh dude, is not obscure at all. That game was HUGE, and it was also the first decent DB Fighting game
You only get it by preordering DBFZ, so enjoy it. It has some historic value.

I love the Famicore adventure icon. Can't wait to get my copy of Elite in the mail! <3
Oddly, this reminds me of the boyfriend looking back at other girl meme.
18 months later and some devs still don't get it.
(Velocity 2X, which is a great game....shame about the icon)
Maybe Futurlab went with this icon on purpose?! With their current financial situation, we're aware that the studio needs Velocity 2X to do big numbers on Switch. The cynical side of me thinks a sub-par icon will generate a little more attention. Then they 'fix' it by replacing the icon with the one they intended to use all along, resulting in extra sales (from those on the fence, etc) for listening to their fans. I'm probably way off here, but either way, V2X is a great game that's deserving of a crack at a fresh audience, and I wish the guys at Futurlab nothing but the best.

Not only does it fail to fit the recommended look, but even the quality of the current icon seems subpar in terms of clarity (or is that only due to some compression from the upload?)

Pretty bad icon all around.
Same. I think it's one of the best looking icons. Good blend of retro and modern.
Oh? I thought it was supposed to release on the 21st? I saw a comment from someone who implied they already got it:

Pretty excited about this one myself, I loved Marble Blast. However, those icons with the orange border aren't necessarily the actual icon you will see on Switch. They might be, but they're often not.
I received my copy a week ago Tuesday. Just saying.
Although I wasn't allowed to register it for coins until last Friday.
Pretty hype about Marble It Up!
I keep looking for it in the shop, it's still bizarre to me that it goes live on a Saturday. I keep hoping this turns out to be great. So excited for this
