As the week wraps up, it’s time once again to dive into the fresh game releases hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. One standout this week is the Suikoden I & II Remaster, perfectly timed alongside some exciting MAR10 Day celebrations. Let’s jump into the specifics.
The headliner is undoubtedly the Suikoden I & II Remaster. Originally launched by Konami back in 1995, this iconic RPG was conspicuously absent from any Nintendo platform — until now. With their debut on the Switch, players can now enjoy these classics with upgraded HD visuals and modernized support features. It’s an ideal opportunity for newcomers to delve into this beloved series and enjoy it in all its remastered glory.
On the horizon is Mario Day, held on March 10 – cleverly dubbed MAR10 Day. Nintendo is jump-starting the festivities with substantial markdowns on Mario-centric games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. These titles and more are now available at a rare 30% off. If there’s a gap in your Mario collection – or perhaps a missing Toad or Luigi adventure – this might be the perfect opportunity to fill it. Plus, don’t forget to earn My Nintendo Points with purchases, available until the month draws to a close.
For those who love gaming soundtracks, this week’s addition shouldn’t be missed: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past music is now up on Nintendo’s music-streaming service. Be sure to check it out, and we’ll also discuss it further in our upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
Looking ahead, there’s a lengthy roster of new titles to consider. Below, you’ll find the full list of releases waiting for you. So, what will you be playing this weekend?
