As we wrap up the week, there’s a brand-new lineup of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week’s standout is the Suikoden I & II Remaster, perfectly timed to coincide with the MAR10 celebration. Let’s dive into the details.
Our headline release is the remastered Suikoden I & II. This renowned RPG from Konami first made its debut back in 1995 on various platforms, yet skipped the Nintendo system entirely—until now. Finally arriving on the Nintendo Switch, both the original release and its 1998 sequel have been beautifully remastered with HD visuals and fresh support features. It’s a golden opportunity for newcomers to embark on this classic journey.
We’d be remiss not to give a shout-out to Mario Day coming up soon. Yep, March 10, or MAR10 as it’s cleverly known, is the annual celebration of everything Mario. Nintendo is joining in with generous discounts on Mario-themed titles, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. Snagging these games at 30% off is about as good as it gets for first-party deals. So if you’re looking to fill in any gaps in your Mario, Toad, or Luigi collection, now’s the perfect moment to add to your library. Plus, you’ll earn My Nintendo Points until the end of this month.
For those who love game music, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past’s soundtrack has joined the lineup in Nintendo’s music-streaming app this week. Be sure to give it a listen. We’ll also be touching on this in our upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
Don’t forget about all the new games released this week—check out the complete list below. What’s on your playlist for the weekend?
