As the weekend approaches, it’s the perfect time to explore the fresh batch of games arriving on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week’s standout is the return of the remastered Suikoden I&II, coinciding with the excitement of MAR10 Day celebrations. Let’s dive into all the details.
We’re thrilled about this week’s major release: Suikoden I&II Remaster. Originally launched by Konami in 1995, this revered RPG finally makes its way to a Nintendo console with its remastered versions. The beloved classics now come with upgraded HD graphics and enhanced support features specifically for the Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t experienced these games yet, now is an ideal opportunity to dive in and enjoy.
Speaking of celebrations, Mario Day is just around the corner! On March 10 — cleverly known as MAR10 — Nintendo is pulling out all the stops with substantial discounts on Mario-themed games, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. Enjoy savings of 30% on a range of titles, which is as generous as you’ll find for first-party games. If you’re yet to complete your Mario, Luigi, or Toad collections, this is the perfect moment to fill those gaps. Plus, remember that My Nintendo Points can still be earned through the end of the month.
For those following Nintendo Music, this week marks the addition of the legendary The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack. Now you can listen to this SNES classic on Nintendo’s streaming app. Be sure to catch our thoughts on it during the upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast.
