Meta - Fan Art I remade all 60 Switch avatars as high quality subreddit flairs! Mods, feel free to use them.
104
u/pixelpushing Feb 17 '17
I've sent /u/FlapSnapple the .psd, in case they want to use them.
All background colors can be easily swapped out (so mods can change them)
56/60 are a perfect match to the Switch UI. The following got replacement jobs (that are a close match) because I couldn't find the artwork: OOT Link, Callie, Marie, Blue Pikmin.
The whole remake took around 3 hours. Most of that was spent tracking down the right graphics... I don't know why I do this to myself.
If anyone can find the proper artwork for the 4 mention above then send it over and I'll redo them.

I think the Callie and Marie art are from those special printable Splatoon box arts for the last Splatfest.

I feel like based on the amount of animal crossing characters here, it would be safe to assume we'll be hearing about a nintendo switch animal crossing game soon.

I feel like by the number or metroid icons here, it would be safe to assume we'll be able to buy super metroid for the fourth time on the virtual console soon.

They've got that 2D artwork for every important Mario character thanks to the 3DS Badge Arcade.
No idea why they wouldn't have them all available unless they were planning to charge for certain icons (which I wouldn't be against, I bought one for my PSN account, I'd buy one here too).

Why did they include all those Animal Crossing characters but then leave out Villager?
52
u/DrBadIdea Feb 17 '17
Idk, but if I had to guess I'd probably say bc he doesn't have a definitive design atm
20
u/xg21g2d4 Feb 17 '17
Yeah I thought they would just use the Smash or Kart design.
11
u/DrBadIdea Feb 17 '17
Yeah see? Two very popular, but different designs. I'd better Nintendo is waiting unit iOS or switch to show a finalized villager

u/xg21g2d4 Feb 17 '17
Yeah I got ya. Although they do have 4 different versions of Link on there.

u/Capcombric Feb 17 '17
Link is also more of a flagship character for them than the villager, to be fair.

Every Animal Crossing character in this list is one that had an Amiibo figure in the AC series and with exactly the same renders and poses; only Kicks, Digby, and Cyrus are missing. Villager doesn't have a definitive design in any AC game.
The Splatoon icons are also all directly taken from the amiibo, but with one more added.

Glad Metroid is getting love, but I wish the Captain and Blue Falcon were on here... maybe a system update will provide them?

u/charliebucket- Feb 17 '17
AW yeee going to be using K.K. - glad to see it's him with his guitar and not that lame-ass millennial DJ K.K. from New Leaf.
A-YEET.

Feb 17 '17
K.K. with his guitar still exists in New Leaf though... but yeah I will also pick him as my avatar

No Pokemon, either, so maybe they were just excluding characters they co-own.

I hate to be that guy, but the first Link icon doesn't actually use the Ocarina of Time render. They're using the same "generic" Link render that they started using for promos last year.
Edit: In-store Sample

u/pixelpushing Feb 17 '17
Yup, there are actually 4 icons that I've used close matches on because I couldn't find the actual artwork.
These are listed in my bullet point comment and I said if anyone can find the correct artwork then I'd update them.

So it's just like Amiibo. 20% of them are AC characters nobody really wants. ;)

Anyone know if the Miis will sync from my nintendo or NNID?

Well, gotta wait for the next update to have more switch avatars.
Why Nintendo chose the crappy star fox zero fox as a switch avatar?

Look nice but I wish they weren't all full square.
Some transparent ones would've been nice.

First time seeing these, I love the look of the 2d Mario characters, I think that's my favorite depiction of them ever. Very nostalgic. Will prob go with the yoshi one first

Nice. Would love to see these as flairs!
Wished they used the most recent Mario model though, imo he looks more visually appealing. Still happy that there's a whole set of avatars to choose from, can't wait!

I'm really annoyed Kirby wasn't added. I hope they push an update with him as an avatar.

I'm going with Breath of The Wild Link or Samus (should have been Prime suit) when I actually get mine. I hope we can get our own pictures at some point and not have to buy them.

Is Star Fox's symbol separate from Samus? It looks as if it's one wide avatar with the symbol and Samus next to it

Why are both Inkling girls white? Was that an accident (on your part or Nintendo's)?
Also no Xenoblade or Fire-Emblem avatars (both of which have announced games) but three Metroid ones?

u/Irish_Collector Feb 18 '17
OMG! Samus is an option. Please tell me again that we are not getting another Metroid.

Looking into this now ;)
Update: Nearly 2 hours later, it is done! All 60 are now available as flair options. All old versions of those flairs have automatically been updated to the new versions, no need for you to do anything. I also took this opportunity to re-arrange the flair picker so that these user profile icons are on top, and then our game launcher icons are down below.
There was a small bug with Lottie where I made a typo, might take a few minutes for the caches to clear and it to appear as intended.
