Nintendo Download: March With Mario

It’s almost MAR10, and along with some fresh launches, Nintendo is highlighting the Switch’s library of Super Mario titles.

It’s a… March 10th

For the uninitiated, Nintendo has created a yearly ‘Mario day’, that’s been celebrated for a while now, which of course is situated on March 10th (MAR10). This year there’s nothing new featuring the plumber-turned-hero launching, but there are apparently some sales kicking off. So if you’ve been neglecting picking up some of Mario’s Switch offerings, this might be your chance.

Not to worry though, as MAR10 isn’t the only thing happpening on Switch this week. Nintendo’s current platform is also welcoming in the launch of Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars. As the name denotes, the new issuance brings together the first two Suikoden games, and sees the Konamii JRPG classics enhanced with some modern looks.
