As the weekend rolls around, the Nintendo Switch eShop is brimming with fresh releases. This week’s star attraction is undoubtedly the Suikoden I & II Remaster, coinciding nicely with the festivities for MAR10 Day. Let’s dive into what’s new.
Leading the pack of new arrivals is the remastered edition of Suikoden I & II. Originally released by Konami in 1995 and 1998, these RPG classics never made it to a Nintendo console—until now. Thanks to this remaster, packed with HD visuals and enhanced gameplay features, Switch owners can finally experience these iconic adventures. It’s an ideal opportunity for newcomers to explore this celebrated series.
In other exciting news, Mario Day is just around the corner—March 10, get it? MAR10! To celebrate the beloved plumber, Nintendo is offering substantial discounts on some fan-favorite Mario games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. With prices slashed by up to 30%, it’s a sweet deal on first-party titles. Whether you’re looking to complete your Mario collection or wish to keep up with Luigi and Toad, now’s the time to splash out. Plus, don’t forget about collecting those My Nintendo Points until month’s end.
For those in tune with Nintendo Music, you’ll be thrilled to hear that the soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is now on Nintendo’s streaming platform. Dive into the timeless tunes of this SNES classic, and we’ll be sure to discuss it further in our upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast.
