Note: This is a developing story. More Princess Peach Showtime! info will be added soon.
Princess Peach is enjoying a bit of a moment right now, largely due to her well-received portray in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, and now the Mushroom Kingdom monarch is getting her first game in nearly two decades. This game was first teased during the last Nintendo Direct, but today during a new Direct we got actual details on the new game Princess Peach: Showtime!
This time around, Princess Peach is getting into community theatre, but a new team of baddies (the excellently-named “Grape and the Sour Bunch”) take over the show. It’s up to Peach to save the play, and she does that with a variety of transformations, including Swordfighter, Detective, Patisserie, and Martial Arts Peach. It seems like variety is the order of the day here, as each level in Princess Peach: Showtime! seems to feature a different type of gameplay (action, mystery solving, baking). You can check out the first trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime! below.
Definitely looks like a step up from 2005’s Super Princess Peach and its somewhat retrograde “Peach fights by crying at everything” concept.
Princess Peach: Showtime! launches on Nintendo Switch on March 22.
