As the week wraps up, it’s time to check out the latest crop of arrivals on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Leading the charge this week is the remastered version of Suikoden I & II, arriving just in time for some MAR10 Day revelry. Let’s dive into the details.
The standout release this week is the remastered Suikoden I & II. Originally launched in 1995, this beloved Konami RPG series debuted on various platforms but never made it to any Nintendo console—until now. With both the original game and its 1998 sequel arriving on the Nintendo Switch, Suikoden I & II Remaster delivers enhanced HD graphics and fresh support features. It’s a prime opportunity for newcomers to experience these classic adventures on the hybrid console.
We can’t let this week pass without mentioning the upcoming Mario Day. That’s right, March 10—MAR10, get it?—is a celebration of everything Mario. To join the festivities, Nintendo is slashing prices on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. You can snag these and other titles with a 30% discount, which is a rare treat for first-party games. Whether you’re expanding your collection of Mario’s escapades—or diving into a journey with Toad or Luigi—now’s the time to buy. Plus, you can rack up My Nintendo Points throughout the month.
Fans of Nintendo Music will rejoice as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack makes its way onto the music-streaming app. So, make sure to check it out, and we’ll certainly chat about it on our next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
There’s also a plethora of new games to consider this week—take a look at the full list below. Which ones will you be tackling this weekend?
