As the week draws to a close, it’s time to check out fresh arrivals on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week, there’s a lot to get excited about, with the spotlight shining on the Suikoden I & II Remaster, plus some festivities for MAR10 Day. Let’s dive into the details.
A standout release this week is the remastered version of Suikoden I & II. This beloved RPG from Konami originally debuted back in 1995 across various platforms, but Nintendo consoles didn’t get in on the action—until now. Finally, both the original and its sequel from 1998 are available on the Nintendo Switch, complete with enhanced HD visuals and new features. It’s the perfect opportunity for newcomers to experience the magic.
With March 10 fast approaching, we can’t skip mentioning the celebration of all things Mario—MAR10 Day! To mark the occasion, Nintendo is slashing prices on iconic Mario games such as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. They’re offering a solid 30% discount, which is quite generous for first-party titles. If you’ve got any gaps in your Mario collection, or perhaps a missing adventure involving Toad or Luigi, now’s the time to fill them. Don’t forget, you can still earn My Nintendo Points until the end of the month.
For music enthusiasts following Nintendo, this week’s addition is a treat: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack now graces Nintendo’s music-streaming app. It’s a must-listen for fans, and we’ll certainly talk about it in our upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
There’s a slew of new titles worth checking out, so peruse the complete list below. What will you be diving into this weekend?
