As the week wraps up, it’s time to dive into the exciting new arrivals on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Taking center stage is the Suikoden I&II Remaster, and we’re gearing up for some MAR10 festivities too. Let’s explore what’s in store!
Leading the pack this week is the remastered version of Suikoden I&II. Originally launched by Konami in 1995, this beloved RPG series graced several consoles but bypassed Nintendo, until now. The Nintendo Switch brings these classics, along with their 1998 sequel, to its roster. Featuring polished HD graphics and enhanced support features, the Suikoden I&II Remaster offers a perfect opportunity for newcomers to experience these gems on the hybrid console.
In the spirit of upcoming Mario Day, set for March 10—or MAR10 if you will—Nintendo is rolling out generous discounts on Mario-themed classics. Unmissable deals await on games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG, with prices slashed by 30%. Such markdowns on first-party titles don’t come often. Whether you’re looking to fill gaps in your Mario, Toad, or Luigi collection, now is an opportune moment. And remember, you can still earn My Nintendo Points till month’s end!
Music lovers, delight! The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack is now available on Nintendo’s streaming app. This SNES classic should resonate with fans, so don’t miss it. We’ll be chatting more about this on the upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
The eShop is bustling with new titles, so make sure to check the complete list below. What will you dive into this weekend?
