As the week wraps up, it’s that exciting time again—time to dive into a new batch of games on the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week, the spotlight shines brightly on the Suikoden I & II Remaster. Plus, we’ve got some special MAR10 Day festivities going on. Ready to explore? Let’s jump in.
First up, the standout release this week is the remastered version of Suikoden I & II, a classic from Konami’s RPG library. Originally launched in 1995 on several platforms, these games skipped Nintendo’s lineup until now. Fortunately, both the original and its 1998 sequel are making their grand entrance on the Nintendo Switch, with enhanced HD graphics and new helpful features. This remaster is an ideal opportunity for new players to experience a beloved story.
And hey, just in case it slipped your mind, MAR10 Day is fast approaching—March 10th, to be precise. Nintendo has rolled out some enticing discounts on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. Snatch up these games and enjoy a 30% discount, which is a pretty solid deal for first-party titles. If your collection is missing a few Mario adventures—or even those of Toad or Luigi—now is probably the time to fill those gaps. Plus, remember that you can still earn My Nintendo Points up to the end of this month.
Music enthusiasts, rejoice! The soundtrack for the SNES gem, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, has just been added to Nintendo’s music-streaming app. Be sure to stop by and give it a listen—we’ll also be chatting about it in our upcoming episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
There are plenty of new titles to explore, so feel free to check out the full list below. What’s on your gaming agenda this weekend?
