As the week wraps up, it’s an exciting time for Nintendo Switch fans, with a slew of new games hitting the eShop. This week’s standout release is the Suikoden I & II Remaster, and naturally, there’s a bit of Mario magic in the mix too. Let’s dive into what’s new.
Our headline game this week is the remastered duo, Suikoden I & II. Originally launched by Konami back in 1995, this beloved RPG series has finally made its way onto a Nintendo console. Now, Switch players can enjoy both the original game and its sequel from 1998, but this time with enhanced HD graphics and fresh support features. It’s the perfect moment for newcomers to jump into these epic tales.
With Mario Day right around the corner, March 10 (or MAR10, get it?), Nintendo is rolling out the red carpet for our favorite plumber. In celebration, there are substantial discounts on Mario-themed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. These titles are up to 30% off—a rare markdown for first-party games. Whether you’re filling gaps in your Mario collection or searching for adventures with Toad or Luigi, now’s a golden opportunity to snag a deal. Don’t forget to collect My Nintendo Points, too—they’re available through the end of the month.
If you’re a fan of classic tunes, you’ll be thrilled to hear that The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past soundtrack has joined Nintendo’s music-streaming app lineup this week. A nod to this iconic SNES score will also feature in our upcoming Pure Nintendo Podcast episode.
A batch of new games is up for grabs as well, so don’t miss out on the full list below. What will make it onto your weekend playlist?
