Princess Peach: Showtime! is Out Now on Nintendo Switch

It’s not often that we see Nintendo Switch deals on the OLED model but Woot has bucked that trend with the Nintendo Switch OLED currently available for $30 off the regular price. That means instead of paying $350, you pay $320 which is a great price for a consistently sought-after game console. The deal only lasts for the next 10 days or until it sells out with the latter extremely likely to happen soon. Here’s what you need to know before you miss out.

Last week’s Japanese sales charts saw Princess Peach: Showtime! beating out competition from the likes of Rise of the Ronin and Dragon’s Dogma 2 to take the top spot in the software charts, and this week, the action-adventure game has managed to hold on to that position, as per the latest weekly data revealed by Famitsu. Selling over 27,000 units, it holds a decent lead over Rise of the Ronin, which climbed up to the No. 2 position with an additional 20,000 units sold.

Alongside Peach's new ensembles in there are also several cosmetic dresses for Peach to unlock and wear throughout the game. To unlock every single dress, players will need to, not only fully complete the game, but also complete some lengthy post-game tasks.

Recently-released data indicates that Princess Peach: Showtime sales are outpacing the PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin in Japan. Princess Peach: Showtime released on March 22, an extremely busy day for the gaming industry. While it's rare for major new game releases to land on the same day, Princess Peach: Showtime shared its launch date with PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin and Capcom's open world action-RPG Dragon's Dogma 2.

After beating the final boss in , there is still plenty to do in the post-game. Aside from new dresses and ribbons available for purchase, players can customize the Sparkle Theater itself with elaborate decorations. Previous Darkle bosses can be rematched with new challenges to complete for Sparkle Gems, new pictures for the Photo Album can be collected, and hidden Ninja Theets located in every standard level.

Each stage in will contain several Sparkle Gems, key collectibles that are required to challenge the game's many bosses. These Gems are often hidden in sneaky ways, which is especially true for the Ninja Peach levels. Collecting every Ninja Sparkle Gem will require sneak-attacking guards, prowling over rooftops, and collecting Gem Fragments during high-speed wall-running sequences.

Nintendo Switch update 18.0.0 has been rolled out by Nintendo and here's what this new firmware version does officially and unofficially.

Binary Haze Interactive’s Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, a follow-up to the acclaimed Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, is now available in Steam Early Access. Developed by Adglobe and Live Wire, it focuses on Lilac, an Attuner in the Land of Fumes who must save the Homunculi driven to madness due to the Rain of Death.

In the costumes that Peach wears have gotten a lot of the spotlight as they provide Peach with unique abilities and personas, but the multitude of dresses that Peach can unlock in the game are no less spectacular. Over the course of her adventures in the Sparkle Theater, Peach can unlock almost 40 gowns that she can wear while walking around the theater and at the beginning of many levels. These beautiful dresses will even appear in her cutscenes, can add a bit of unique flavor, and are often tied to achievements.

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

Madame Grape is the last boss of , the final obstacle preventing the theater's restoration. Unlocking her fight will require completing multiple floors of levels, as well as accumulating a few dozen Sparkle Gems. As a reward for this effort, Peach gets one more transformation exclusive to the ultimate boss fight.

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.
