Step aside, Mario \u2013 a new Princess Peach game is upon us! It will have only taken more than 18 years for Princess Peach: Showtime to land on Nintendo Switch in 2024, but from everything we\u2019re seeing, it\u2019s looking like it will have been worth the wait.<\/p>\n

While the Mushroom Kingdom Princess is attending the Sparkle Theatre, the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch cause a huge ruckus that looks to ruin the play. It\u2019s now up to Peach and the theatre\u2019s guardian, Stella, to stop them before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Using the power of Stella\u2019s ribbon, Peach can transform into various different forms, including Swordfighter Peach, Kung Fu Peach, Patisserie Peach or even Detective Peach. Gameplay is also said to change to whatever form the princess is wearing, accordingly. The best news is that we won\u2019t have long to wait to start enjoying the show.<\/p>\n

To find out everything we know about Princess Peach: Showtime, head below for all the latest details \u2013 including, release date, trailers, gameplay, story details and more.<\/p>\n

Nintendo has confirmed that Princess Peach: Showtime will launch on 22nd March 2024 for Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

Originally teased as an untitled Princess Peach game in June 2023, Nintendo officially confirmed the game\u2019s new title and release date in September 2023. It will likely act as one of the last major releases on Nintendo Switch, with many expecting the console\u2019s successor to be released sometime in 2024.<\/p>

Nintendo has officially opened pre-orders for Princess Peach Showtime, with pre-orders now live on Nintendo eShop.<\/a><\/p>\n

Several select retailers are expected to go live with their pre-order pages in the coming days, however, GAME<\/a> currently has a landing page ready to go and we\u2019re pretty confident that the likes of Amazon and such will follow shortly. We will then update this page accordingly.<\/p>\n

Which consoles and platforms can play Princess Peach: Showtime game?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Princess Peach: Showtime is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch platform. This means you need either a Nintendo Switch, a Nintendo Switch Lite or a Nintendo Switch OLED to play the game. As this is a first-party Nintendo game, it will be exclusive to Nintendo\u2019s home systems.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a chance it might arrive on a Switch successor (since rumours are swirling that a follow-up console is coming in 2024) or that system might be backwards compatible. That\u2019s purely speculation at this point, though.<\/p>\n

Princess Peach: Showtime gameplay is an interesting one. While we\u2019ve now been showing a decent portion of it, it\u2019s not entirely clear how the game will actually play.<\/p>\n

Following the game\u2019s September trailer, Nintendo released details (via a press release) stating that \u201cgameplay changes depending on Peach\u2019s role\u201d, which refers to the many transformations Peach will undergo, such as Swordfighter Peach, Kung Fu Peach, Patisserie Peach and Detective Peach.<\/p>\n

From this, we can assume it will feature puzzles, sword combat and mini-games of some sort. It will also be played in both 2D and 3D.<\/p>
