Princess Peach: Showtime! Review

[@joegryniewski5718]

Kirby’s Forgetten Land got my son into video games. Now my daughter wants this to be her first game. Very excited for it

[@atsunymphae2723]

That's so wholesome ^^

[@BenjaMan64]

Awesome. Happy Gaming to you all!

[@RJH755]

Your son has great taste, that game is peak!

[@sergio_henrique]

Man, Forgotten Land was such a great game.

[@gyroh6593]

Your son might enjoy the Peach game too! Seems to have lots of gameplay variety.

[@MrBoop4345]

My 8 yr old daughter is excited to play this. Not all games have to be ultra hard. Younger kids need video games too.

[@georgehernandez2156]

Plus creativity goes along way.

[@Chaos1091]

Word

[@jeremiahgreen5632]

I'm okay with an easy game, as long as it's not easy to the point where it requires no skill. Thankfully this game isn't that.

[@csquared84]

Hell yeah. Plus my girlfriend isn’t a hardcore gamer but she wants to be since being with me and this game looks like a fun start

[@Evan.280]

Exactly. There’s nothing wrong with easy games. Not everything has to be Dark Souls

[@ghostxplatinum]

Kudos to Nintendo for experimenting and trying something new with Princess Peach in a Mario spin-off. The whole theatre/stage play concept & aesthetic is honestly pretty interesting.

[@mason3029]

Puppeteer on the PS3 did the stage play aesthetic better than any game I’ve ever seen. An absolute classic!

[@ivanb4681]

​@@mason3029Love that game. Annoying it never released on PS5

[@dustymcwari4468]

[@joshbob4868]

Peach can never take a vacation without something going down.

[@TheIandustry]

Seems to me that the only time she ever has a moment of peace is when she doesn't do anything at all. Deep philosophical question there as to what constitutes a holiday for the perpetually unlucky Peach.

[@SuperMarioBrosGamer]

Going to the theaters is clearly not a vacation

[@RenegadePandaZ]

Because her policies in the Mushroom Kingdom have made her an international political target.

[@ICader7194]

Odyssey begs to differ

I’ve been waiting for this one since Sunshine. I’ve literally been waiting for around 20 years!

We also need a Wario game with waluigi.

[@MellerzNoel]

My takeaway is this is perfect for kids with its simple gameplay.

[@pabloferreira1451]

We need a Super Princess Peach Remake

My daughter is in love with this game. It gets a 10 from me on that alone.

[@retrogamer64007]

That's incredibly biased

[@eyesofthefox]

It's interesting that she's an actress in the theater seeing as her first playable appearance was Super Mario Bros. 2, which itself was a theatrical reproduction of the events from the first game.

[@Behinddarkness86]

Super Mario Bros. 2 was Mario’s dream. Super Mario Bros. 3 is the play.

[@dominicaccardo8050]

it seems like a great introductory game, for new gamers

[@ArcadeDrifterMusic]

IGN: "This game isn't difficult." Speedrunners: "Allow us to introduce ourselves."

[@JohnBloggs-m8l]

Speed running has nothing to do with level difficulty, speed running is a seperate task unto itself where you're focused on time rather than accomplishing tasks other than finishing the level.

[@tf5pZ9H5vcAdBp]

@@JohnBloggs-m8l huge parts of this game are timing based. The ninja, ice skating, and kungfu are, as well as every boss fight. In fact, you're mostly punished in this game by having levels take more time.

[@josecr9ify]

My 58 year old is so excited to play this kids game only.

[@Warpig9]

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

[@josecr9ify]

@@retrogamer64007 yes I’m 102

[@RenegadePandaZ]

Gameplay revolving around 2 buttons and being able to take 5 hits makes this targeted at children? Everyone keeps saying it's a 'kids game' when basically every Mario game has done the same thing. It just kind of discredits what was developed, which I'd argue is one of the most original things Nintendo has put out in a decade.

[@toonyandfriends1915]

What mario game did this

[@toonyandfriends1915]

They also said the platforming , what mario is known for doing well, is too easy, which seems true

[@Immunity1080]

Wait people thought mario was aimed at adults??

[@eraticfx]

If she comes in Smash, she will definitely stand out from Daisy

[@thefairlyoddrosalinafan64]

Okay, now we need a Rosalina game.

[@nikiforvxse1703]

[@felipenachmanowicz9393]

A baby Rosalina game!!!! Me and my goddaughter would love It.

[@davidaamaya1]

It's better than suicide squad

[@RondoOfBloodX]

I’m really enjoying this game so far and for those complaining it’s too easy then go and play the rehearsal stages.

[@Happygolucky10110]

Its just too short 🥺 Especially for 60 bucks

[@haixtttpotats]

This is like the answer of Nintendo for Mattel's Barbie in form of video game.

[@KYLETISZAI]

Literally my thought, it's perfect

[@INFERNO95]

Nope. Magical girl theme is popular in Japan.

[@ICharlyl]

My girlfriend has 0 experience with videogames. She has tried to get into them for me but it's been tough because she's just terrible at them. That said, she played this demo and loved it, it was easy enough for a total amateur to play it. She also loves princess peach so I've thought it's awesome to see how female representation can inspire them.

[@25anomaly]

Are you going to gift the game for her?

[@ICharlyl]

@@25anomaly yeah, of course, I'm going to look for it tomorrow and surprise her.

[@Immunity1080]

[@johnserpo9267]

This game reminds me of PS3's Puppeteer. Why didn't Sony make a sequel?

[@atsunymphae2723]

👏

[@hex1233]

Sales didn't meet expectations. Also, Japan Studio was shuttered in 2021.

She can do all this. But she can't figure out how to stop getting kidnapped over and over by a fire-breathing dragon turtle? Okay

[@EnriqueLopez1747]

Bowser has the power of extra Charisma and loneliness; peach just feels bad about his situation and lets him have his moment.

[@theoddronin1]

Just a reminder that the last time she was canonically kidnapped by Bowser, it was in Super Mario Odyssey and since then, she's been way more active

[@user-mz9xo3hx1h]

To be fair things she doing in this game is because of stella

[@jamesford5504]

Given the reviewers' complaint about framerate and performance issues, this game could have been meant for a release on switch 2, but it got done before the console, so they downgraded it for the switch 1? I would not be surprised for a switch 2 re-release as a launch title.

[@zake64]

Tbh it doesn't look like anything the Switch shouldn't be able to handle. Just seems like lackluster optimization to me

[@ashtarmelendez8003]

It’s giving paper Mario. They should’ve added rpg elements to prepare kids for thousands year door.

[@BussinandDiscussin]

This is a helluva lot better game to show kids or amateurs many game genres then what most of us had.

[@ct2xperience749]

Why not just go play a mario & sonic Olympics?

[@CristianCJSantoS]

The game is charming but its so easy that makes super mario 3d world feels like a soulslike compared to it. Also, $60 for a game designed to run at 720p 30fps? Not fun enough to worth the price.

[@BobDylan-ho2gd]

8 hour campaign for 60 bucks? That's a waste of money.

[@andymanchaart]

So was RE3 Remake

[@BobDylan-ho2gd]

@@andymanchaart Never played that one.

[@DavidBatson]

Imagine how cool it would have been if, after beating the game or something, you could replay any stage using any outfit. And every stage had a tongue in cheak redesign for each costume, trying to incorporate the different playstyles each outfit would bring. Like how, on a fighting stage, every enemy is scrambling to handle a mermaid peach rhythm game. Now that would be a hell of a game, eh?

[@Immunity1080]

7 seems a little high... 5 or 6 seems more accurate

[@ThisIsCSDX]

No disrespect at all like you've been getting on Twitter, but "polished" was such a poor choice of words when comparing this game to Kirby & Yoshi games.

[@hadi48930]

Nice Job, But, Why Nintendo Didn't Remake Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on Nintendo Switch, Because, Princess Peach Wants to Meet Her Baby Self in Remake Game, In Original DS Game, She Wasn't Met Her Baby Self, Because, Princess Peach is Acting Like a Mother of Baby Peach, Like Mother, Like Daughter
