As the week wraps up, it’s time to dive into some fresh offerings on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Leading the charge this week is the much-anticipated remaster of Suikoden I & II, timed perfectly alongside some exciting MAR10 Day festivities. Let’s break it all down.
Kicking off the lineup is Suikoden I & II Remaster, a beloved RPG series originally dropped by Konami in the mid-’90s but never graced Nintendo consoles until now. These classics, first released in 1995 and followed by a sequel in 1998, have been spruced up for the Nintendo Switch with HD graphics and handy new features. For those new to the franchise, there’s never been a better time to start your journey.
In other noteworthy news, MAR10 Day is almost here—March 10th, get it?—dedicated to celebrating everything Mario. Nintendo’s marking the occasion with substantial discounts on top Mario games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. With up to 30% off, these deals are as good as it gets for first-party Nintendo titles. So, if there’s a Mario, Luigi, or even Toad-sized gap in your game collection, now’s the moment to fill it. Plus, you’ll continue to accumulate My Nintendo Points through the end of this month.
For those who enjoy a good gaming soundtrack, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has just been added to Nintendo’s music-streaming platform. It’s a chance to relive the SNES classic through its unforgettable tunes. Tune in to our next Pure Nintendo Podcast for more on this.
