Owlboy is a very pretty platformer that’s coming to Nintendo Switch on Feb. 13, more than a year after its original release. But you’d never guess that it’s a beautiful, multi-year labor of love based on its original Switch home menu icon — which, as Twitter and forum users discovered, was one of the least aesthetically appealing icons to date.
A pre-release look at the Owlboy icon, which is now available for pre-load on Switch, began to make the rounds yesterday. A Reddit thread called “Can we start complaining about the Owlboy icon now?” summarizes the issue.
