Princess Peach: Showtime! News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Along with casually confirming a Nintendo Switch successor, Nintendo also provided updated sales numbers for its hardware and software for the fiscal year ending March 31st 2024. It included sales for the latest Switch titles like Princess Peach: Showtime!, which launched on March 22nd and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, released on February 16th.

Famitsu has released the latest weekly data for hardware and physical software sales in Japan, and for the third consecutive week since its release in March, Princess Peach: Showtime! has taken the top spot in the software charts. The action-adventure title sold an additional 19,000-plus units in Japan last week, taking its total to over 124,000 units.

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.

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.

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.

After Super Princess Peach in 2005, Nintendo’s iconic princess takes the center stage once more in Princess Peach: Showtime! It’s available now for Nintendo Switch and features Peach going up against the sorceress Grape and her minions, the Sour Bunch, teaming up with the guardian Stella to save Sparkle Theater. Check out the launch trailer below.

Princess Peach might be the one who takes center stage in her action-adventure game but it is really her variety of costumes that deserves the spotlight. Each costume that Peach changes into transforms her into an entirely different character. Whether becoming a swordfighter, ninja, or even a mermaid, Peach loses her normal skills in favor of more thematically appropriate abilities and skills with each outfit.

Nintendo has released a new, as well as a demo for the upcoming Nintendo Switch game. The title will release on March 22, 2024.

Nintendo is in the habit of, at times, not revealing which studios have developed some of its first-party titles, especially if they were developed by external studios (as was the case quite recently with Super Mario RPG’s remake, developed by ArtePiazza), and similarly, details on who exactly has developed the upcoming Princess Peach: Showtime! have been elusive.

As with other titles like Mario vs Donkey Kong, Nintendo has released a free demo for Princess Peach: Showtime! before its release later this month. There’s also a new overview trailer explaining the mechanics, various forms players can use and the Sparkle Theater’s plays. Check it out below.

Nintendo has just released a playable demo of Princess Peach: Showtime on Nintendo eShop and at select retailers. The highly-anticipated title is among the slate of upcoming Nintendo releases for 2024, and interested players can now hop into the new imaginative world sooner than expected.

Once again Peach takes to the stage as the hero of her own tale, and this time there are no tears or tantrums to be seen! Ahead of its release on 22nd March, I had the immense pleasure of going hands on with a few levels from Princess Peach: Showtime!

The latest trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime is out, and with it comes four new transformations that its titular heroine will be able to utilize. While Princess Peach usually plays a supporting role in Mario’s adventures, Nintendo announced that the monarch of the Mushroom Kingdom would be stepping into the spotlight in her own video game. Princess Peach: Showtime tasks Peach with saving the Sparkle Theater from the Wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch, using a variety of special costumed transformations and assistance from the theater’s guardian, Stella.

Nintendo has released another new trailer detailing even more transformations that Peach can go through in the upcoming game.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is not only going to let the eponymous protagonist be the star of her own game – something that doesn’t happen too often – it’s also going to let her do that in many different forms. That will happen through the transformation mechanic, which will allow Peach to transform into several different versions of herself, each with her own unique mechanics and abilities.

With Nintendo allegedly gearing up to reveal its next-generation console (and release it later in the year), first-party support for Switch is bound to continue slowing down, though we do still have some notable releases lined up. For instance, Princess Peach: Showtime! is out a little over a month from now, and though details about the game’s development are bafflingly scant – as is often the case with Nintendo titles – one particularly notable tidbit has seemingly emerged.

A new trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime! has arrived, sharing a couple more of the costumed transformations that Princess Peach can undergo on her upcoming adventure. Princess Peach: Showtime! is set for release on 22nd March.

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.

With the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder in the rearview mirror, it does feel like the Switch’s first party support has started winding down, but even as rumblings of Nintendo’s next-gen console continue gathering momentum, the company’s current console does still have a few notable releases lined up. One of them is, of course, Princess Peach: Showtime!, and Nintendo has released a new trailer offering another look at its gameplay.

It’s more than a little likely that we’ll be seeing Nintendo’s next-gen console later this year, but even in what are sure to be the Switch’s final months as an active, current console, it still has some major releases lined up. Princess Peach: Showtime! is one among them that has turned a fair few heads, and it seems it’s on track for its March launch.

The wholesome genre of cozy games like the upcoming has become even more popular in recent years as more people realize the calming self-care benefits of playing one of these chill titles. Indie developers and big-name companies alike have been working on releasing high-quality games that fit this ideal, giving gamers of all ages a plethora of laid-back gaming opportunities. In 2024, it looks as though this genre will continue to grow, with many relaxing new titles planned for all platforms throughout the upcoming months.

Following many rumors that Princess Peach was going to be getting her own Nintendo Switch game, was officially announced with a release date during today’s Nintendo Direct. The monarch of the Mushroom Kingdom will be taking on Grape and the Sour Bunch using a myriad of different abilities to save the day.
