The week’s winding down, and that means a fresh bunch of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. This time, the spotlight’s on Suikoden I & II Remaster, plus some exciting MAR10 Day festivities. Let’s unpack what’s in store.
Headlining this week is the remastered Suikoden I & II. These iconic RPGs from Konami first graced the gaming scene in 1995, though they never made it to a Nintendo console until now. With the launch of both the original game and its 1998 sequel on the Nintendo Switch, players can now enjoy Suikoden I & II Remaster with its upgraded HD graphics and modern support features. It’s an ideal opportunity for newcomers to dive into the series.
We can’t overlook Mario Day, marked on March 10, cleverly dubbed MAR10 Day. Game on! Nintendo’s celebrating by slashing prices on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG by 30%, which is as good a discount as you’ll find for first-party titles. So, if your Mario collection needs some filling out, or if you’re missing adventures involving Toad or Luigi, now’s the time to buy. Plus, don’t forget, you can still earn those handy My Nintendo Points through the end of the month.
For those who follow Nintendo Music, you’ll be happy to hear that The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack has been added to Nintendo’s music-streaming service. Be sure to check it out—and keep an ear out for our mention in the upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
There’s a packed lineup of new titles vying for attention, so make sure to explore the full list below. What game will you dive into this weekend?
