Earlier today, Nintendo Switch update 11.0.0 brought a number of changes to the console, including the ability to choose from new icons based on the Mario franchise. There are some great options to choose from, representing various games in the series. Unfortunately, this update just so happened to coincide with the third anniversary of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. There were already a plethora of Mario icons available on the console, but the Xenoblade franchise has no representation, forcing fans to choose other options for their personal icons. As such, Xenoblade is now trending on Twitter, as fans argue that icons from the series are long overdue!

Are you a fan of Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Are you disappointed that there are no Nintendo Switch icons based on the franchise? Let us know in the comments or share your thoughts directly on Twitter at @Marcdachamp to talk all things gaming!

Would like to have a Marnie one.
Xenoblade 2 icons would been good timing for it's third anniversary as well. https://t.co/GnnXOFrGLf pic.twitter.com/ZPl3lxyJco

"Disrespect" seems a bit harsh, though.

LMFAO THE DISRESPECT OF NINTENDO TO ADD MARIO ICONS ON XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2’S ANNIVERSARY INSTEAD OF JUST ONE XC2 ICON AHAHAHAHAHAH

To be fair, the new icons are pretty cool!

New Mario icons are cool, but finally getting some Fire Emblem or Xenoblade 2 icons would be even better. #NintendoSwitch
