March 10 has become a somewhat big day for Nintendo over the years, as many people often associate it as Mario Day – or Mar10 Day. This year, Nintendo will be offering a special deal on select Mario games for Switch.
Between March 10 and March 16, those who purchase select Switch systems and one of five select games can pick up the bundle for $330. That amounts to $30 in savings, or 50% off one of the games. Super Mario Party, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe are eligible.
Playism has provided the official Japanese boxart for VA-11 Hall-A. Take a look at the packaging image above.
The next global Splatfest for Splatoon 2 has been announced. Taking place next week, on March 15/16 (exact starting times depend on your time zone), the Splatfest asks the question “What would you rather be – a Knight or a Wizard?”.
This Splatfest also has a unique feature – if you match your headgear and shoes with the ones from the Enchanted or Steel series, available through the Octoling Girl or Octoling Boy amiibo, the look of your Splatfest Tee will change to the clothes from each series during battles.
Also, it’s been announced that Splatoon 2 will be updated to version 4.5.0 soon, on March 10/11. No official English patch notes are available yet.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap was a big success on Nintendo Switch, and it seems like we might soon get another game in the series on the system. “Wonder Boy Returns Remix” was rated today by the South Korean ratings board. While this isn’t an official confirmation just yet, it’s usually a pretty good indicator that the game will be released on the Switch fairly soon.
Wonder Boy Returns was first released on PC in October 2016. The game is a remake of the original Wonder Boy game, featuring HD graphics and other improvements. Since the Switch version is called “Remix”, there might also be additional new features, though we don’t know what those might be just yet.
We will keep you updated once Wonder Boy Returns Remix is officially announced.
