Nintendo of Europe has started its MAR10 Day celebrations early, giving eShop customers the chance to claim double the usual amount of reward points on some truly brilliant Mario games.
Available from now until 23:59 local time on 10th March, this offer applies to five of the Switch's biggest games, all featuring the star man himself, of course. Simply buy any of the five games listed below from the Switch's eShop by the time we just mentioned, and the bonus Gold Points will be granted to your account within one week after the promotion ends.
- Super Mario Odyssey
- New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Super Mario Party
- Mario Tennis Aces
These Gold Points can be spent on various discounts via My Nintendo or as credit towards other purchases on the Switch eShop, so they're definitely worth having.
As we noted above, you can also get your hands on a wallpaper for your desktop or mobile. You can grab that right here by handing over 50 of your Platinum Points (which you can easily gather simply by visiting the website regularly).
Have you been holding out on buying any of these games? Will the thought of double the reward points tempt you into a purchase? Let us know in the usual place.

i want dlc for odyssey, not gold points for buying mario games as we already have them :/
What if we already have them all?
Now this is a promotion.
This coincides with liquidating my physical collection and going all-digital, so that's a real bonus.
@AlternateButtons lmao it’s pathetic

Or if you want digital, go to CDKeys and get them all much cheaper

@electrolite77
Where are the good prices ??
This is a not so good promotion. Why they don't simply discount the games? Anyway instant gaming has the digital versions cheaper
https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/games/nintendo/
Waaaa, I'm only getting $6 for free.
Waaaa, I already bought these.
Waaaa, I don't want this free promotion, I demand a different free promotion.
I think that covers the generals.
This is pretty neat for new Switch owners, or people converting physical to digital.
I mean... neato? This promotion is so small that I seriously doubt it is going to encourage many people who were on the fence about buying these games.
To me this is like a diner giving you a couple extra slices of toast with your breakfast combo. I mean, yay, more food. But it's just a couple slices of toast.
@AlternateButtons Or Spend $80 to get $8! (For Canada heheh).
Oh how I wish Physical games can gain more Gold points. (Was surprised that the double pack of Wheel of Fortune and Jeapardy for Switch had 80 Gold coins, pretty sure that was not $80 retail in Canada).
@SenseiDje
I said get them cheaper. Which of the games concerned isn’t cheaper on CD keys than the Official eshop?
Soooooo we basically getting screwed for MAR10 day.
@AlohaPizzaJack I'm more of a "waaa, I can get better discounts/promotions/value elsewhere, so I guess I'll skip this one" kinda guy.
@Richnj Yeah, but that's using common sense and self-determination. Free thinkers don't count
Wow. An extra 3 quid in gold points! Wouldn't want to make the deal TOO tempting would we Nintendo?
Just remember people, if you buy a physical copy of the game, the points expire a year after the game launched. So if you're like me and were a late adopter of the switch , and buy Mario Odyssey, breath of the wild and Mario Kart in physical form, you get no gold points. None.
