As the week wraps up, it’s a great time to explore the latest lineup of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the remastered versions of Suikoden I & II, along with some exciting celebrations for MAR10 Day. Let’s dive in and see what’s new.
Leading the charge this week is Suikoden I & II Remaster. These classic RPGs from Konami first saw the light of day in 1995, but Nintendo consoles missed out back then. Now, that’s a thing of the past as both Suikoden I and its 1998 sequel make their grand entrance on the Switch. The remaster brings with it enhanced HD visuals and some nifty new support features, making this an ideal opportunity for newcomers to experience these legendary adventures.
Of course, we can’t overlook that Mario Day is just around the corner. March 10, cleverly dubbed MAR10 Day, celebrates all things Mario. Nintendo is joining in on the fun with some generous discounts on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. These titles, along with a few others, are enjoying a 30% discount—the best deal you can usually snag on first-party games. So, if there are any missing Mario escapades in your collection, or even tales with Luigi and Toad, this might be the perfect chance to fill those gaps. And remember, you can earn My Nintendo Points through the end of the month.
For music fans, there’s something special this week too. The soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has been added to Nintendo’s music streaming app. So make sure to give it a listen, and we’ll be chatting more about it in our next Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
There’s a lot more to explore with new releases, so don’t forget to check out the complete list below. What will you be playing this weekend?
