Princess Peach Will Star In Her Own Game On Switch In 2024

This came unexpected. I love it!

Stoked that Peach is getting a new game! Hope it doesn't involve emotions again.

Yes please and thank you! Sign me up for day one, the premise looks very very charming.

VERY Excited. We didn't see much, but day 1. Peach is one of my favourite characters and always wanted her to have another proper adventure! When I saw how big a role she had in the movie and how they added to her character lore I really hoped it would lead to another game for her. Any first party Nintendo platformer is a must buy from me.

I actually thought that this was the 2D Mario game. Oh how wrong I was. 😅

This kinda gave me Mario is missing vibes. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Between this, SMRPG, and Wonder it's a really good day for Peach fans.

I’m so unbelievably excited for this haha. It’s rare that Peach gets to shine, so I’m excited to see how this is. Definitely a day 1 purchase for me

The only big highlight for me, because this was not a game, that was leaked. After the negative feedback of Super Princess Peach, I thought Nintendo was done by giving Peach her own series.

I'm curious, could it be Super Princess Peach 2?

This burly young man loved Super Princess Peach, and this burly old fart is super excited for this.

This was easily the highlight of the Direct for me... that was until they announced the new WarioWare with motion controls!!!!!!

Probably the best Direct for me since the Iwata days. (RIP)

They should have given Daisy her own game. Luckily she is in Wonder

But I also loved Super Princess Peach on the DS, so I'll get this as well

I wish they showed a little more. I don't really feel like I even know what kind of game this is.

Great day to be a Mario fan 😊😊

Looked interesting. Not enough to make a purchase decision yet.

Looks better than Wonder.

After Super Princess Peach I honestly didn't expect them to give her another shot at her own game, but I'm glad they're doing it anyway. Game looks pretty good.

Is THAT song going to be abused during the marketing campaign?

My daughters have been after for a new Peach game, pretty much forever (Super Princess Peach came out before they was born)

Very cool aesthetic in my opinion. Nice to see them not do the NSMB style anymore.

This was one of the biggest surprises of the Direct. I'm very happy to see Peach get her own game for the first time in years.

Not gonna lie, the switch still looks to have a good amount of juice left in it. Everyone acting like we absolutely NEED a successor asap, but after this direct I could definitely make it another year with just the switch if necessary.

Yaay...!
Super Princess Peach 2 (or whatever the subtitoe will be). 😃

Yes yes yes.
Waaaaahoooooooo

First Peach solo game since the mid-2000s, lets go!

I loved the first game. Didn’t one of her powers involve crying?

Definitely the out of left field game of the Direct! I’d like to see where this is going!

I'm actually more interested in this than in SMB Wonder. By what little has been shown, it seems to be more laid-back than your usual Mario game. Is it being developed by EPD? In any case, nice to see Peach get her own 3D game just like Luigi and Toad did with Luigi's Mansion and Captain Toad. Looking forward to it.

I was hoping Rosalina to get her own game but Peach getting one is okay. It's her 2nd outing so hopefully Nintendo is cooking something good with her.

Looks good so far from the clip. Definitely something to look forward to.

Not sure what it is yet, but im excited nonetheless

Super Princess Peach 2: The Scepter's return

Now seriously, how random that they are giving her another chance of having a game with her as the star tho, specially since Super Princess Peach wasn't... amazing. Very curious how it turns out.

I'm more interested in the new 2D Mario game but I won't discard getting this one. I just need to see more gameplay.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I love Peach, but Super Princess Peach did her dirty. Hope this is better.

This is exciting news. Love seeing the Mario characters getting their own games to star in.

"looks to be a 2D side-scrolling platformer" Did we see the same teaser, because all I saw was 3D movement in the trailer with no sign of platforming

@Ryu_Niiyama no, no this one will make use of the other facet of the female experience: dress-up.

So good, it feels very girlish and I love it.

@Eel I'm frowning at you right now.

Edit: I know you are joking but we have enough idiots that think being a female is superficial/dress up...so I can't find that funny.

Please just let it resolve Perry’s story somehow. ;o;

@Ryu_Niiyama hah, it is indeed an ironic take on it.

_{Though it seems they might be somewhat going that route, judging by the theater environment and magical transformation at the end. (Though it’s worth considering neither element is new to the universe, so it would be harsh to judge the game so early on)}

Looking forward for this!

Interesting thing I noticed is that this and the Luigi mansion remaster were not stared as coming to Switch, but instead “are in development”.

I think it’s all but certain these games are going to be exclusive to the Super Ultra Nintendo Switch Cube!

Don't think we've had a main Peach game since the DS. This sounds excellent to me!

About time they made another Peach game, looks pretty cool. Will for sure pick this up whenever it comes out

I am now pleased about Super Mario Wonder (even if it's yet another 2D Mario, it looks quality and I have loved them all), but I am more interested in how this turns out. It's a good call by Nintendo actually.

Looks interesting, unlike Super Princess Peach which was a bit too standard platformer faire. I'll probably end up picking it up either way, I hope it turns out good.

Two interesting things I noticed.
1. She looks a bit younger than usual, but maybe that's just because of the art style.
2. She doesn't wear a crown.

So, Peach origin story?

If they do this they should also bring Super princess Peach (wich I haven't played before). Curious how it will turn out.

@countzero would seem more likely that her crown was stolen.

Ribbon friend then joins her to recover whatever else was stolen, along with the crown.

It’s kind of surprising Nintendo hasn’t had a full fledged female led game. They could flip the Mario Bros concept on its head, and give some deserved shine to the Rosalina’s and Daisies of the world. A female Bowser boss would be fun too!

Fascinating. Looking forward to it. About time Peach had another starring role. Wonder if other Mario characters will show up.

@Rainz : Wendy's revenge?

This Nintendo Direct is INSANE. A new Princess Peach game?!!! These announcements are godlike

Considering how great and unappreciated Super Princess Peach was on DS, I'm all for another Peach side-scroller adventure!

I I hope she’s kept abilities from ds game.. all based around her moodswings… anger, crying, etc.

I enjoy super princess Peach in the NDS. Very exiting to play this new title!

This game looks interesting but I do not know how the game is but I love Princess Peach so much. I hope the game will be very good and fun to play a big game what I want not a small game.

This was a great surprise! I look forward to the gameplay to come!

My Wife's excited about this one...and I'm not going to lie, I am too lol.

Peach is a very nice charector. This little teaser showed hardly any game play so I cant say im excited for it yet but just how Luigis Mansion games are a fun spinoff in the mario universe that work well I can see peach having a fun spinoff as well. Definitely need to see more before deciding though.

I mean ... sure, it's great Peach is getting to star in her second game (Super Princess Peach, where she saves the world with the power of her raging hormones, was the first), but I think Zelda getting her own game is much more important.

Peach is playable the vast majority of Mario games, but the second most playable character in the Zelda series isn't Zelda ... it's freaking Tingle with his 3 solo games. That's a problem that needs a'fixen

I like when Nintendo does announcements like this, when they only announce a game that is in development and give slight hints of it, and it's coming in only a year.
This looks like a small contender but I bet it will be full of creative ideas, kinda like the Puppeteer for PS3. Super Princess Peach 2 seems like an obvious name, but having Peach as the main playable character again means a lot.

So excited for this! I am wondering if it'll be a dress-up action game (similar to Infinity Nikki).
Excited to see how the stage will play into the game. Will it be like Paper Mario, in the sense that the better you do, the more money/help youll get?

Notice she's not wearing her crown/tiara. Could it be that her kingdom was usurped?

Regardless, I'll be there. About 5 years ago I played Super Princess Peach for the first time and defied what the internet told me was wrong (at least back then): being a man playing the game in public, specifically in front of my students and fellow teachers while I was waiting for them.
The execution could've been better, but the concept of Peach saving the day by herself is something I've always appreciated and had wanted to see done again.

@Rainz isn’t Metroid a female led game?

Super Mario extended cinematic universe confirmed.

@BirdBoy16
Metroid is indeed female led, I was referring more so to the females in the Marioverse. As great as Samus is…she’s not really the face of the franchise, they’ve done a better job at drawing her story out but that Chozo Suit itself is more iconic. If you don’t know Metroid you’d never know it was a female in there.

@SiSilly_G
Wendys Revenge! They could kidnap all the males for once and have Peach and Co. go castle to castle to save them lol

@Rainz ah, that makes more sense, I guess Metroid itself is more know than the character it stars, now that I think about it a lot of people were probably surprised by Samus being a female in the original NES game

Wait to see what kind of game this is going to be but I am interested.

Really super excited for this one!! ❤️✨Do wonder what the story and plot will be? Instead of having Bowser, probably makes logical sense if Wendy Koopa becomes the focus and being the final boss. Maybe she captures Mario and Luigi, and it will be up to Princess Peach to save them. There are so many creative ways Nintendo can approach with this game.

Super Princess Peach was a delightful surprise back in the day. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this.

I know there isn't much to go on but I hope they nail the mechanics. Like, y'know, floaty without FEELING floaty?

Otherwise, pretty excited. I'd love to see a Rosalina game, but that may be too much to ask.

Definitely doesn't elicit much excitement from me, but judging by the comments I'm in a very small minority. Will definitely approach with an open mind though. Thankfully we had mario wonder to keep me excited..

Peaches. Peaches. Peaches.
Multi-Peach?
