It’s the end of the week and time to check out what’s fresh and exciting on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week’s standout is the Suikoden I&II Remaster, just in time for some MAR10 festivities. Let’s dive into what’s new.
Kicking things off, we have the remastered versions of Suikoden I&II. These iconic RPGs from Konami, which originally launched back in 1995, have finally arrived on a Nintendo platform. Now available on the Switch, these beloved titles have received a fresh coat of HD graphics and a suite of new support features, making it an ideal moment to delve into this series for both newcomers and returning fans.
And of course, we can’t ignore that Mario Day is coming up! March 10th, also known as MAR10 Day, is a time to celebrate everything Mario. Nintendo has rolled out some enticing discounts on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. You can snag these titles at 30% off, which is a rare markdown for Nintendo’s first-party games. If you’ve been holding out on adding to your collection of Mario’s escapades—or Toad’s or Luigi’s—for that matter, now is a great opportunity. Plus, My Nintendo Points are still up for grabs through the end of the month.
If you’re a fan of Nintendo Music, you’ll be thrilled to hear that The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack has been added to their streaming app. This classic SNES tracklist is now there for your listening pleasure, definitely worth checking out. We’ll also chat about this in the next Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
There’s plenty more hitting the eShop this week, so don’t miss the full lineup below. Which games are you planning to enjoy this weekend?
