As the week wraps up, it’s time to dive into the newest additions at the Nintendo Switch eShop. This week’s standout release is none other than the remastered Suikoden I&II, perfectly timed to coincide with some lively MAR10 festivities. Let’s take a closer look.
This week, Suikoden I&II takes center stage with its eagerly anticipated remaster. Originally launched by Konami in 1995, this beloved RPG series has finally made its way to a Nintendo console, alongside its 1998 sequel, delighting long-time fans and newcomers alike. With HD graphics and handy new support features, playing Suikoden I&II on the Nintendo Switch is a treat, especially for fresh faces eager to explore its depths for the first time.
Oh, and let’s not forget about Mario Day! Yes, March 10, cleverly dubbed MAR10, is a day dedicated to celebrating our favorite mustachioed plumber. To mark the occasion, Nintendo is offering some tempting discounts on Mario-themed titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG. With prices slashed by 30%, this is as good a chance as any to grab these iconic adventures if you’ve yet to add them to your library. And remember, you can still earn My Nintendo Points throughout the month.
Music enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear that the classic soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has been added to Nintendo’s music-streaming app. If you’re a fan, don’t miss it, and we’ll dive deeper in our next episode of the Pure Nintendo Podcast.
