The previously unnamed Princess Peach game, announced in June, finally has a title and a release date. Princess Peach: Showtime! launches exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on March 22, 2024. Today’s Nintendo Direct unveiled more about the game: Princess Peach and her Toad entourage attend a Sparkle Theater show, only to have it disrupted by the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch.
In the game, Princess Peach teams up with Stella, the theater’s guardian, to save the play. True to Nintendo’s style of introducing charming gimmicks, Princess Peach: Showtime! features Peach using Stella’s ribbon power to transform. The recent trailer showcases several transformations: Peach as a Swordfighter, mastering martial arts as Kung Fu Peach, and even adopting roles like a pastry chef and detective. Nintendo promises that more surprising transformations will be revealed leading up to the game’s launch in March 2024.
