There have been some rumours floating around about Nintendo releasing a Princess Peach: Showtime! demo this week and it's now been officially confirmed.

Yes, in the lead up to Mario Day later this week, Nintendo has made a demo for this upcoming Switch release available on the eShop. And for those who don't have access to a Switch, it will also be available at select retailers in the US.

"In the free demo of the single-player action game, players can experience the Swordfighter Peach and Patissiere Peach transformations. Swing, strike, dodge and counterattack as Swordfighter Peach and cut across an action-packed stage. Then, turn into Patissiere Peach and get ready to whip up an array of delectable desserts to prevent the Sweet Festival from experiencing a serious sugar crash."

Nintendo has also released a five-minute overview trailer detailing Peach's transformations and much more:

"Each of Peach’s transformations grant her distinct abilities that she will need to save the plays at Sparkle Theater. A new overview trailer details the variety of these transformations and highlights new information on the game – including customization options to add extra flair to Peach’s dress and Stella’s ribbon, and a closer look at the themed plays Peach will navigate on her adventure."

If you're curious to learn even more about this title ahead of its 22nd March release later this month, check out our hands on here on Nintendo Life. We called it a "bit of a gem" and other previews were also quite positive about it as well - so it's looking promising!
