Freaking finally. I buy these on every system. Portable Mercs will be incredible.And now, what we've all been waiting for...
I will never not see the giraffe getting a blowjob in the RE6 logo.And now, what we've all been waiting for...

5 and 6 get a proper title in their logo, but 4 doesn't? Good old Capcom.
i hope when they put the next patch for deadly premonition they also update the icon. this is infinitely better than the one they've gone with
Yeah, in a since deleted reply to a fan on Twitter, he made it a point that the current icon is for keeps.i hope when they put the next patch for deadly premonition they also update the icon. this is infinitely better than the one they've gone with
Knowing nothing of the game, I definitely prefer the new one, with it showing off a pretty cool art style.Mistover got a makeover

It's pretty rare for a game to have a drastically different icon across regions, outside of translating the logo or whatever, but just spotted that Super Weekend Mode is one such game.

Angry Kirby effect in Japan? Would honestly have guessed the regions the other way around.It's pretty rare for a game to have a drastically different icon across regions, outside of translating the logo or whatever, but just spotted that Super Weekend Mode is one such game.

Amount of game icons with no logo is increasing again. I guess we had it too nice in the last couple weeks.
I didn't even know the first Yo-kai Watch came out for the Switch in Japan this week. Meanwhile, us western plebs still don't have Yo-kai Watch 4...
Wait, it's just a black square now?The most changed icon ever.
I'm guessing your screen's contrast is a bit low or something because it does still say Fortnite, albeit in dark grey.
lol, never thought Fortnite's icon would turn into one of those "Adjust the brightness until ______________ is partially visible" things.
Seems like a savvy move by Epic to me. They've used their icons to alert people to changes and new content. It's temporary and this is bound to draw attention. People will be scrolling through their icons or looking at the all games display and this is going to stick out like a sore thumb. And that will prompt more people to open to see what is new with Fortnite.
Only if it's in their recent plays anyway. Otherwise nothing gets updated. You're giving them way too much credit.
Its obviously intentional and done to induce interest in what's going on with Fortnite. I look at my all games screen all the time or scroll throught the first 12 too. The icon is temporary and they've had like 7 other Fortnite icons that were decent. Its not a new art style choice, its an intentional tactic. And I do give them credit for putting thought into designing their icons.
Wish they would change it with each event ala Fortnite with seasons.
Obviously it's intentional and still I say you're giving them too much credit for this. Their events/seasons just get new key art. That's then reflected in the icon. It's cool and all but, again, if you've not played it recently anyway so it even gets the update, you'll never see it. My icon is still on the second one, deep down in the list.
It's the same as this:
but with Tracer moved down a little and with just the Overwatch logo at the top
Specifically, this:
fantastic. sooooo much better than what they had before.
Not that I care anymore, but the monochrome logo is really weird to me. Why are the triangles suddenly grey instead of orange like in every other version of the logo?Specifically, this:
It may be the logo, but check out the quality on this one when viewed full size.
man, I really think there's something wrong in the way the developer dashboard or assets submission site/drive is designed. We keep seeing devs dropping what looks like icon files for PC (like literally .ICO files) for their switch icon. There *has* to be some bad language or misleading wording that's causing this to happen.
but they see the icon on their devkits so it's not like they're doing it blind.
It may be the logo, but check out the quality on this one when viewed full size.
This is going to drive me insane.
First time an icon has made me immediately interested in a game.Did chuckle at this one.
Don't think these have been posted yet: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020 and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD.
The Super Monkey Ball icon is great. Looks delicious.

They've been on my site for ages now, I just don't post every single icon in this thread, y'know. ;)
Ah, I see! I shall endeavor to check the site first before posting others in the future. Though having them posted here allows for discussion of their merit! :p
