As the week winds down, it’s time to check out the latest batch of games hitting the Nintendo Switch eShop. Leading the charge is the eagerly anticipated release of Suikoden I & II Remaster, accompanied by some exciting Mario Day festivities. Let’s dive into what’s new!
This week, Suikoden I & II Remaster stands out as a major release. Originally making its debut back in 1995 from Konami, this legendary RPG never graced a Nintendo console—until now. The remasters of the original Suikoden and its 1998 sequel have finally landed on the Switch, and they bring along with them stunning HD graphics and fresh support features. Whether you’re reliving your nostalgia or experiencing it for the first time, there’s no better occasion than now to join the adventure.
And speaking of timing, let’s not forget that Mario Day is just around the corner. Yes, March 10th, or MAR10 Day, is fast approaching, celebrating everyone’s favorite plumber. Nintendo is marking the day with some significant discounts on beloved Mario games, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. Enjoy up to 30% off—which is about as good as it gets for first-party Nintendo titles. Now’s the perfect moment to bolster your collection, whether that means adding Mario’s adventures or even those of Luigi and Toad. Plus, don’t miss out on collecting My Nintendo Points until the month ends.
For the audiophiles among us, there’s a new treat from Nintendo Music this week: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack has arrived on the streaming app. Take a moment to appreciate this classic SNES journey. And don’t worry; we’ll be covering this gem in our next Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
