Metroid Prime Remastered could soon be getting its own line of player icons available through Nintendo Switch Online. Metroid Prime Remastered has been one of Nintendo's biggest releases of the year thus far and continues to gain popularity with Switch owners.

Nintendo Switch Online is the paid online subscription service for Nintendo Switch. It is primarily used to give players access to features like online play, save data backups, and access to select legacy games on consoles including SNES, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy. It also lets players spend Platinum Points gained through My Nintendo to unlock a number of player icons based on Nintendo properties such as last month's line of Nintendo 64 Nintendo Switch Online player icons.
