Nintendo's offerings for this year's MAR10 Day are now live, so let's take a quick look at what this year's celebrations will bring, shall we?
First up is $20 off select first party Mario & Friends games from major retailers, with Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart participating. Discounted titles include at least Super Mario Odyssey, MarioKart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario 3D World: Bowser's Fury, Super Mario RPG, Prince Peach Showtime!, and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD.
Next up is that the latest Nintendo Switch OLED console bundle, which will include a digital copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and 3 free months of Nintendo Switch Online, will come in at $350 (reportedly a $68 savings when you include the game and membership). Of note, however, the Nintendo Switch 2 is officially coming sometime this year (we'll get more details in the upcoming Nintendo Direct on April 2nd), so choose your console wisely, readers.
Third deal of the day is that Super Mario Party Jamboree will — through the end of March (3/31) — now include a 3-month trial of Nintendo Switch Online included with purchase, allowing gamers to make full use of the online multiplayer capabilities that the title has to offer.
And last, but certainly not least, LEGO is also joining the party, offering 2x the points to LEGO Insiders for all LEGO Super Mario purchases made between March 5th and March 11th, so if you've been holding back on picking up any of the sets and / or letting them pile up on your wishlist, this might be the time to finally grab some! Those points are basically free money to use to discount purchases in the future, after all. They've also announced a brand new set: the LEGO Super Mario Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Cart set, which is up for pre-order now and will run you $169.99 to snag today. Shop Now at Nintendo
