As the week wraps up, it’s time to dive into the latest batch of games landing on the Nintendo Switch eShop. One of the standout arrivals is the remastered version of Suikoden I & II, accompanied by some fun MAR10 festivities. Let’s explore the highlights.
This week’s big release is the Suikoden I & II Remaster. Originally making its debut in 1995, this beloved Konami RPG series finally makes its way to a Nintendo console with this launch. Both the initial game and its 1998 sequel have been updated with HD graphics and fresh support features, perfectly tailored for the Nintendo Switch. It’s an ideal opportunity for newcomers to delve into this epic tale.
Of course, we can’t forget about Mario Day! Appropriately celebrated on March 10 (MAR10, get it?), it’s a time to honor everyone’s favorite plumber. To mark the occasion, Nintendo has slashed the prices on Mario-centric games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG by 30%. It’s a rare chance to snag some Nintendo classics at a discount. Plus, these purchases still earn you My Nintendo Points throughout March.
Music fans will be delighted to hear that the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has been added to Nintendo’s music-streaming app this week. It’s the perfect accompaniment while reminiscing about the iconic SNES game. We’ll discuss this musical addition on our next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
There are plenty of new games to choose from this week, so don’t miss out on browsing the full list. What will you be playing this weekend?
