As another week wraps up, it’s time to check out the fresh batch of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. The spotlight this week shines brightly on the Suikoden I&II Remaster, with a side of MAR10 festivities to sweeten the deal. Let’s dive into the details.
The headliner this week is no doubt the Suikoden I&II Remaster. Originally launched by Konami back in ’95 on various platforms, these beloved RPGs are finally making their way to Nintendo. Now is the golden opportunity for those who missed them initially, with the original game and its follow-up from ’98 making their grand entrance on the Switch. Featuring HD graphics and new support features, this remaster is the perfect chance for newcomers to dive into the epic saga.
And speaking of celebrations, Mario Day is just around the corner! That’s right, March 10—or MAR10, if you catch our drift—is dedicated to our favorite mustachioed plumber. Nintendo is rolling out the red carpet with some significant discounts on Mario titles such as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. With up to 30% off, it’s the ideal moment to grab any Mario titles you might have missed. Don’t forget to rack up those My Nintendo Points until the month’s end!
For all you music lovers, this week’s Nintendo Music highlight is a classic: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The iconic SNES soundtrack has just joined the lineup on Nintendo’s music-streaming app. So don’t miss out, and be sure to tune in—we’ll cover it in the next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
Additionally, there’s a whole lineup of new games to consider this week, so check out the full list below. What will be your gaming pick for the weekend?
