18 years later, Princess Peach is getting another game of her own
[ad_1]
Yesterday’s June Nintendo Direct (June 21) was packed, especially for Mario fans, who were treated to a whopping five announcements related to the classic series. One of which was a new game with Princess Peach as the main character in her own adventure.
This won’t be the first time for Princess Peach, who received her own game back in 2005 for the Nintendo DS, aptly named ‘Super Princess Peach’. This game saw Peach fight her way to rescue Mario and Luigi for once, reversing the usual trope we see in Mario titles where Peach is holed up in Bowser’s castle.
Super Princess Peach was a lot like a Mario platformer, but like Yoshi and his eggs, it had its own tricks to use in the form of Perry the Parasol and his emotions. Honestly, I vividly remember playing this as a kid alongside Yoshi’s Island DS, and it was a great time.
The announcement of a new Super Princess Peach game also came along with a new version of Super Mario RPG, a remaster of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for Switch, a new 2D Mario game called Super Mario bros. Wonder, and a new WarioWare game! Wow. It looks like Mario fans will be eating well this year and beyond.
While we can see from the trailer featured in the Nintendo Direct that the new Princess Peach game is going to look very different, it wouldn’t be a surprise if it was her turn to rescue the plumbing duo again. The teaser trailer itself shows Peach engaging enemies with magic, before standing at a specific point on the stage and transforming herself. No idea what’s going on there.
The untitled game doesn’t have a release date yet, but it does have a release window of 2024. So we’ll no doubt hear more details about the new Princess Peach game during a future Nintendo Direct. I’m really looking forward to a new game with Princess Peach at the helm, though I sincerely hope Perry the Parasol returns in one form or another.
What do you think of a new Princess Peach game? Anything in particular you hope to see?
