As we wrap up another week, it’s time to check out the fresh arrivals on the Nintendo Switch eShop. The spotlight this time is on the Suikoden I&II Remaster, and we’re also kicking off some MAR10 festivities. Let’s dive in!
Suikoden I&II Remaster is a Showstopper
The marquee release this week is the remastered edition of Suikoden I&II. Originally unleashed by Konami in 1995, these RPG gems never saw the light of day on a Nintendo platform—until now. Both the debut game and its 1998 sequel have finally landed on the Nintendo Switch. The remaster boasts updated HD graphics and a slew of new support features tailored for the hybrid console. If you haven’t experienced these classics, there’s no better moment for newcomers to dive into this enthralling RPG universe.
Get Ready for MAR10 Day
We can’t overlook the upcoming Mario Day—March 10, cleverly dubbed MAR10. It’s a grand occasion to revel in everything Mario. To amplify the celebration, Nintendo is slashing the prices on Mario-centric games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG, offering them at a rare 30% discount. First-party titles hardly ever drop in price, so now’s an opportune time to expand your adventure collection with Mario, Luigi, or even Toad. Plus, you can still rack up My Nintendo Points until the month’s end.
Tune Into Nintendo Music
If you’re a Nintendo Music enthusiast, you’ll be thrilled to hear that this week, we’re tuning to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Its iconic soundtrack is now available on Nintendo’s music streaming app. Don’t miss it—we’ll give it a mention on our next Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
