EA Sports FC 24 topped the UK physical game charts this week, despite stiff competition from four new entries.

Last week was packed with a number of notable new video game releases, though as per the latest weekly physical sales data released by the Gfk for the UK (shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter), none of the new releases were actually the region’s best-selling game last week. EA Sports FC 24 took the No. 1 spot, with Dragon’s Dogma 2 coming in at second place.

After Super Princess Peach in 2005, Nintendo’s iconic princess takes the center stage once more in Princess Peach: Showtime!

If there was one thing I could count on growing up in the ’90s, it was the weekly family trip to Blockbuster. While my mom or dad browsed the new movies, I took my baby sister’s hand and headed straight to the video game section. More often than not, I knew what I was renting: The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie, a Super Nintendo Entertainment System game released by Capcom in 1994. I was charmed by the fact that I could play as Minnie — and that Minnie could transform into different characters, like a makeshift Ghostbuster with a vacuum that sucks up enemies, a jungle explorer that gave her acrobatic moves, or a cowgirl with a pop gun and hobby horse. The game was a staple in my childhood playtime until it suddenly wasn’t anymore.

If you’ve played through its demo or have watched some trailers, you’re probably wondering who voices Princess Peach in Princess Peach: Showtime! Fortunately for you, we’ve found out who’s providing the titular character’s voice in the new game starring everyone’s favourite princess.

Lego has three new Super Mario sets launching on Aug. 1, and it teased Mario Kart sets coming in 2025. While it only showed a silhouette of Mario’s signature kart, it’s pretty exciting nevertheless. As for 2024 releases, Lego dropped a bunch of details on new sets as part of Nintendo’s annual Mario Day celebration. With every release, it seems like the possibility for antics multiplies. Case in point: Roy, King Boo, and Bowser star in these upcoming sets.

A free Princess Peach: Showtime! demo is available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop, Nintendo announced Wednesday. Nintendo surprise launched the demo ahead of the game’s March 22 release date.

For the first time in nearly two decades, Princess Peach is starring in her own game. Her new adventure has a familiar-feeling Super Mario-style set up, though: There’s been a kidnapping, and it’s up to a hero from the Mushroom Kingdom to save the day.

Nintendo last treated us with a performance from the Mushroom Kingdom’s Princess a few weeks ago in its first transformation trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime! Today, it’s time for Act II.

The life of a royal affords one plenty of leisure time — opportunities to pick up figure skating, underwater singing, and mighty morphin’, apparently. In the latest look at Princess Peach: Showtime!, we also learn that the Mushroom Kingdom’s leading lady has a penchant for thievery. And perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day, Princess Peach appears more than capable of stealing hearts. She’s good at everything!

Princess Peach’s long-time voice actor has confirmed that she’ll be reprising the role for the upcoming Princess Peach Showtime game.

We’re getting closer to Princess Peach’s next act on the main stage. Princess Peach: Showtime! is coming to the Nintendo Switch in March, and Nintendo dropped a new trailer today teasing what’s on the way.

Nintendo has released a brand new trailer, detailing some of the many transformations Peach will go through in the game.

The latest Princess Peach: Showtime trailer gives players a closer look at the new forms the titular monarch will utilize, including two previously unseen transformations. Nintendo announced this Peach-centric spin-off back in June, roughly 18 years after she first took the spotlight in the Nintendo DS title Super Princess Peach. This time around, Peach is tasked with exploring a theater stage version of the Mushroom Kingdom to stop the Wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch from ruining the Sparkle Theater’s stage productions with the help of the theater’s guardian Stella.

Nintendo has released a new trailer for Princess Peach Showtime, which shows off new transformations.

The Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong has sadly removed most of the pair's iconic dialogue from the intro cutscene, only keeping a little bit of Mario's rant towards DK at the end.

As someone who desperately wanted the highly sought-after Buzz Lightyear toy after seeing Toy Story at the cinema as a kid, I know there's nothing quite like getting physical versions of characters from movies and games you love. Mario Kart has been that for multiple generations, but never more so than right now following the racing sequence from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. No sequel in 2024, nor any news on the next Mario Kart game, but we are getting some new Mario Kart Hot Wheels toys.

It turns out that Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has been hiding a reference to Final Fantasy 6 all these years, but it's one that's only noticeable thanks to the remake's updated graphics.

has some tough bosses. Despite being a relatively easy game overall, it can sometimes surprise players with formidable foes who come out of nowhere. Somewhere between their cutesy character designs and gimmicky mechanics, it's easy to underestimate them, only to be left mouth agape when the entire party is defeated. As a rule, the party should always be prepared with recovery items, the finest equipment available, the best playable characters in , and consistent attack timing to defeat these difficult bosses.

Super Mario RPG has, for whatever reason, removed a reference to Bruce Lee that Mallow used to make in the Forest Maze before taking on Bowyer.

It’s hard to believe it’s the back half of November already, but that’s indeed where we are. Just as important, we are officially on the day that the last significant AAA title of 2023 arrives. We speak, of course, of the Super Mario RPG Remake that Nintendo has launched on the Switch, complete with a launch trailer to highlight some of the adventures you’ll be on today. The title is a remake of one of the all-time classic RPGs. One that was born in the SNES era and helped set a tone for Mario that would lead to many other RPG games in the future across both handhelds and consoles.

Super Mario RPG's remake has shockingly kept one of the original game's more risqué easter eggs, letting you find an item that is heavily implied to be a "massager" in Peach's room.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder and my 73-year-old grandma now have one thing in common: Both have an utterly uncanny ability to capture my worst angle.

Nintendo has changed the official artwork forPrincess Peach: Showtime, making the titular character look a lot more expressive.

There’s nothing wrong with a company going in and “touching up” something about a game they don’t like or feel “doesn’t match” their intention with what’s happening. That’s a natural part of game development in many respects. However, in the case of the upcoming Princess Peach Showtime, some fans are having a bit of a debate over something Nintendo did in an attempt to “update” things without trying to “make it noticeable.” Specifically, after the game was fully unveiled at the latest Nintendo Direct, the official box art for the title was dropped. Fast forward to now, and it’s been updated, and gamers…have thoughts.

Nintendo has changed the main artwork for Princess Peach Showtime, to make Peach look less happy.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is slated to hit shelves on March 22, 2024, and as the release date crawls nearer, we’re seeing increased marketing for the game. Twitter user @Nintendeal noted that Nintendo has surreptitiously swapped out the box art. This change can be seen on the eStore.

Nintendo has changed the box art for its upcoming Princess Peach game, and it now features a much fiercer Peach. 

You’d think that after 35 years of kidnapping Peach, Bowser might take a hint. She isn’t into you, bro! Unfortunately for the Mushroom Kingdom princess, Bowser’s crush seems like it will only intensify with the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder later this month — a game in which Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, and Toad can all turn into elephants.

Nintendo has shared a new promo for upcoming release Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and it is really quite charming.

is giving Peach her rightful place in the spotlight in the franchise with an upcoming game that will allow her to take on several roles with the help of a magical companion named Stella. The latest spinoff follows Peach as she travels to watch a show at the Sparkle Theater, where dastardly plans prevail, and Peach must save the show and the day. There is no Mario or Luigi in sight this time, and Peach is able to show off her own capabilities as a hero of the Mushroom Kingdom.
