Nintendo has refused to acknowledge the existence of Bowsette, leaving fans of the Bowser and Peach mashup with no choice but to take matters into their own hands. Modders have already added the character to a number of Nintendo games including New Super Mario Bros. Wii and more recently The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and now it appears the appreciation for the character has moved beyond first-party titles.
SoulCalibur VI has just arrived on every platform except the Nintendo Switch. Even so, that hasn't stopped the player base from attempting to recreate the Nintendo-themed character in Bandai Namco's newest entry in the series. The game's flexible character creator has made it relatively easy for players to fill the game with Bowsette fighters. They've gone as far as adding Boosette (the Boo version) of the character. The footage of the two fighters below is courtesy of DualShockers and there's even a guide explaining how you can make both of these characters:
The last time the SoulCalibur series was on a Nintendo device was during the Wii generation in 2007. Before then, SoulCalibur II landed on the GameCube in 2002. This particular version of the game featured Link as a guest fighter.
Are you a fan of Bowsette? Have you played any of the SoulCalibur games in the past or the latest entry that's just arrived? Would you like to see the series make a return to Nintendo platforms? Tell us in the comments below.

The Bowsett looks more believable.
...OMG, just...stop, please....let this thing die! T.T
Browser + peach does not equal peachette. The original character copied was toadette when toadette ate the mushroom it became peachette. There is no "ette" in browser + peach. And if you get technical a peachette would be browser in disguise as peach to trick Mario peachette would not act all girly she would act tough and mean. Because she is actually bowser.
This isn't really Nintendo related... articles like this make me go to other sites to read news.
I swear you guys started this damn thing just so you'd have something to talk about on slow news days.
Bowsette is apparently Necrid.
And Necrid died like the meme he was.
The possibilities are truly endless for this kind of content.
"Bowsette recreated in SCVI"
"Bowsette mod for DBFZ now available"
"Bowsette drawings invade Splatoon 2's plaza"
"Fan prints Bowsette body pillow"
"I envisioned Bowsette within the framework of my own mind"
"bowsette"
This is pretty lame and is hardly news. That's like MTV talking about how someone made a Snoop Dogg Mii.
Boosette looks better
Is there a quota on how many articles you need to produce every day?
O.K., people do know that this is technically Bowser that they're looking at, right?
It's not some attractive evil Peach, it's still Bowser.
@GarudaRamuda I've already seen body pillows of her and Boosette. XD
Haters : "wahhhhh stop having fun! Stop enjoying something that was popular! Wahhh"
Dear God, the level of bitterness in some people is worrying.
Keep 'em coming. I like seeing the passion people have for a unique character. =] Maybe put her in Super Mario Sunshine next?
Wait so you talk about this.... But not about that possibility that there is a Nintendo direct soon (and maybe even 2 of them in November?
But whatever... I like the bowsette design.... It's just her breats are.... Don't fit the Mario universe. She is kinda revealing for a Mario game....
Come on this is just lame
They can keep her.
Idk, the amount of annoyance I’m seeing towards Bowsette at this point is honestly a bit amusing. And I think it’s just adding fuel to the fire, the more some people complain about this stuff the more people will keep doing it because a good portion of the internet is made up of trolls. Like, the people complaining about the attention it’s getting are unwittingly giving it more attention.
Though people are still free to respond however they want. I’m surprised this meme is lasting so long, most die within days, maybe a week or two... sure, this one’s not as big as it was last month but it’s still hanging in there. Waiting for the inevitable Bowsette vocaloid now.
So....someone created a character on a game for another system? Man...this isn't bloody news (although the Voldo Magicarp was very clever why not report that instead?)
I'm enjoying Soulcalibur VI right now and I'm surprised that it's the first episode that gives me the closest feeling of Soulcalibur Dreamcast.
Bamco did a really good job.
@Spectra super star power says hi to boo.
@KoopaSlayer92 finally someone actually has a brain and gets it. I’ve tried explaining that to people and they still think it’s called with “eye” at the end.
please let this stupid meme die already, no one cares...
LOL
Bowsette / Boosette in Soul Calibur games.
Fanservice too much...
In other news I found a fiver whilst going through the bin, do I win a prize?
It's funny the amount of people that can't handle other people enjoying video games in the way they wish. If you don't like something for whatever reason, you can just ignore it and move on, simple.
We seriously need some fighting games like Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat etc on Switch. The only option we have right now is Dragon Ball and that isn't even 3D ... And before anyone says it, Smash is indeed coming but it doesn't play like these.
I’m not sure if I’m more disappointed that I wasted 14 seconds reading the article, or another 14 seconds commenting...
@antdickens That is far too rational and considered. BURN EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!
@abduz Yeah smash is terrible , not a proper beat em up
@KingdomHeartsFan @GrailUK the RAGE is strong.
@abduz Switch also has Street Fighter 2 (Final Challengers AND 20th Anniversary), Blade Strangers, Blaz Blue CTB, SNK Heroines, Brawlout, ARMS and more coming. I would love to have Soul Calibur and MK, but it's not like there aren't any fighting games on Switch.
@JasmineDragon All those you listed (except for a 2) are "ancient" 2D fighters which more or less play the same and are slow. I have Street Fighter and all it showed me was it hasnt aged well. I have ARMS and while it's enjoyable, it's still not a proper beat-em up.
I love my Switch but I do feel the only two genres lacking are fighting games and realistic car racing games/simulations. Nintendo needs to work on bringing us popular fighting games such as Tekken, Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat in the same way they brought us Doom, Dark Souls etc.
If Zelda, NBA2k18, Wolfstein, Dark Souls etc can run on Switch, then I see absolutely no reason why popular fighting games cant be released on Switch.
@USWITCH64 I wouldnt say it's terrible as it's certainly fun but compared to 1-on-1 beat-em ups, it feels like a "mess" of a fun game as opposed to straight-up serious fighter ...if that makes sense. Im probably going to get flamed for this but as enjoyable as Smash is, it's truly over rated and doesnt fill in the gap of a games such as Tekken, Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat etc
@abduz Um, NONE of those are old games except for Street Fighter. BBCTB, SNK Heroines, Dragonball FighterZ, and Blade Strangers all released this summer. And those were all multiplat releases.
I get that you want some of the headliners, the AAA fighting games. I want them too. Soul Calibur is in one of the highest slots in my Switch wish list, and I wouldn't say no to a new Tekken or DOA. But don't discount what we do have, because there's a pretty solid field of fighting games out there. It just takes more time to get the AAA franchises.
As a counterpoint to the no-fun brigade above, I actually like lighthearted and fun stories like this, and they do keep me coming back to NintendoLife versus other sites. If anything the only issue on this site is the incredible sensitivity of the commentators most of the time to anything outside of their little happy comfort box.
Looks, stupid, like some S&M, Fifty Shades of SoulCaliber Bowser cosplay shnizzit, Booette is even dumber looking. weak man, weak
@Benjamin Yup, I too enjoy a lighthearted story like this. I think it’s cool that someone took the time to create the character on another system, as well. I wonder how many other games folks have done the same in.
@Spectra Boos can be defeated by Hammers so Astaroth could defeat her.
"SoulCalibur VI has just arrived on every platform except the Nintendo Switch"
Really? I can download this on my 3DS? Sweet!
@antdickens "If you don't like something for whatever reason, you can just ignore it and move on, simple."
Funny you should say that, maybe you should enable the ignore feature for mods and staff so we can ignore their usually snobby comments on other people's opinions as well on an open forum
@JasmineDragon Yes they were released in summer but that doesnt make them not old. DBZ, Brawlout and Arms are the only ones recently created ...anyways that debate is straying off the subject.
Just as you agreed, we do need current gen fighters such as the ones we mentioned. Maybe those retro-rereleased fighters still are enjoyable to some but to someone like me who was excited to download Street Fighter with updated graphics ...despite the prettier graphics, the game was far too slow and didnt have the depth of new fighting games.
That's like saying we have Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Rayman Legends, Wonderboy etc on Switch so we dont really need Mario Odyssey because we have a healthy amount of adventure games ...as great as those games may be, they still dont play like stuff made for current gen. Putting aside ARMs and DragonBall FighterZ, I personally, dont enjoy any of the other fighting games you listed l, as they feel slow, stale and old in comparison to games for current gen such as Tekken, SC, MK, DoA etc
Pretty good actually.
Why is everyone so obsessed with Cowgirl? In Ico, they were all banished.
@Joeynator3000 Chill out, dude. It's been a thing for a couple of weeks of your life. Not everything in modern life has to move at light speed and change every five seconds, you know. Do you even know what you're so up in arms about anyway? It's just a cool fan-made take on a fan-created new Nintendo character concept--why exactly are sooo opposed to that being a thing? Or do you just feel like you have to get bored of it after a few days because that's what everyone else does these days and you want to feel like everyone else, i.e. "normal", or something like that? Or are you overacting your hate of the character, as in "thou doth protest too much", just because she's a little bit sexualised and everyone these days always feels this need to rage at that kind of stuff so as to pretend they're one of the "good" crowd or something like that, and not one of those "sickos" and "perverts" and "weirdos" and "creeps" or whatever? Relax. It's just a fun fan-made character getting a little bit of love--and she actually looks pretty dang cool and would be a great official addition to Nintendo's roster of characters in my humble opinion.
@USWITCH64 Still a fighting game imo
Bowsette was a stupid concept and you should all feel bad. But THIS is true beauty

@RedMageLanakyn do you frequent the forums?
@Yosheel The site itself is an open forum. If I would've been referring to "the forums" I would've worded it as such. Would you prefer I go back and edit my comment to say comment sections so as to not be confusing?
@RedMageLanakyn uh that's up to you. I asked because I don't think I've seen you around there all that much.
I mean that's where I snob around most of the time.
@Yosheel No, I rarely go to the forums. Keep up the good work though, you seem to be one of the good mods here!
@Joeynator3000 Never.
@KoopaSlayer92 Yeah, but the wring name has already been coined by fans, and everything and everyone is calling her like that. If someone called her Peachser, Powser or Peachowser it wouldn't be as recognisable as the #-tag from twitter, so everyone just sticks with it.
It's not the first time in history that the masses stick to something that is frequently used even, though there are better options out there, so it's no surprise the character keeps the "Bowsette" name, especially since it's not an official character.
Also, this (00:37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxb6yzOYF_Q&feature=youtu.be&t=37
@jhewitt3476 @Mayor_Haggar They were done with an in-game character creator that any player owning the game an equipment can recreate, not a mod where the player had to do their own designs. What did you guys expect?
I'm actually impressed how close you can get with Bowsette.
I used to think all the horrible things said about Nintendo fans was just petty nonsense from XBoners and Sony Ponies. But after Bowsette and Waluigi 4 Smash, I realize the haters were right all along.
I honestly think it's all much ado about nothing. Bowsette (in any version) doesn't look anything like a gender-flipped Bowser, she looks like a girl doing gender-flip Bowser cosplay. Bowser would not grow enormous mammaries if he was turned female - he's a reptile, and they don't even have nipples, much less F-cup breasts. But it's just a harmless fanmade bit of silliness, and the meme has only been around for a couple of weeks. I don't get why people act like this is the worst thimg to ever happen to pop culture.
Dear NintendoLife.
I wish to make a complaint. I, of my own free will, spent a minute or two reading an article on your free website about something I'm not interested in and knew I wouldn't like.
Please, in future tailor all articles to my personal preferences and specific definition of news or I will be compelled to spend more minutes of my life moaning about it in comments.
Furthermore, could you please consult me before you give a game a review score, even though I haven't played it. I'm convinced you are doing it wrong.
Many thanks in advance.
More like... Boobsette!
(badum tss)
@Mii_duck Best comment all day:)
I agree that Bowsette is harmless and it's cool that fans can make something like this so big, but this is like the least interesting bit of Bowsette news we've seen here. MAYBE if this game was on Switch and you could use said character or something it'd be cool. I'm not telling Nintendo Life how to do their jobs, I just wanted to make a Snoop Dogg Mii joke.
Seriously, enough with the Bowsette articles!
I usually don’t say negative stuff on here but this is just ridiculous lol people really be thirsty for some bowsette wow
Repeat after me
Bowsette is not news, especially when it's a small fan thing that has zero prevalence.
How SHOCKING!!!!!!! i wouldn't have seen this coming in a million years...
@antdickens It's kinda hard to ignore and move on something when is constantly being shoved down your throat by various forms of media. You can't go anywhere on the internet nowadays without seeing some reference to Bowsette, and posting articles like this doesn't help people to ignore it and move on. Just my 2 cents.
@Tasuki then don't go or load those sites? You choose to reply which means you go to those sights.
@Joeynator3000 NO! 3 XD
Get out.
@Joeynator3000 my popularity will not die any time soon bow before me peasant.
@TheLZdragon excellent!
They aren’t even wearing the crowns! How could someone spend so much time doing this and forget the crowns?!?!
@Tasuki sorry, but that doesn’t make any sense. You don’t have to read every article published on every website on the internet. The majority of people seem okay just reading ones that are of interest to them, no website expects all of their content to appeal to every single visitor.
@Mii_duck thanks for your feedback!
I just want to mention that there has been an official female Bowser named Bowletta for a long time that did not get this kind of attention.
@SwitchForce Well maybe I didn't go to that site for that? It's not like I went to Bowerstte specific site. I go to a site on gaming news to read a review on say Mega Man 11 and instantly greeted with a big picture of Bowserette which then I am told by the owner ignore it and move on. Kinda hard too again just my 2 cents.
Here's an idea Nintendo has said that Bowserette is not a real Nintendo character maybe these people trying so hard to make her one need to "move on"
@antdickens Sorry if I came off rude didn't mean it like that. As I said in the post above if I came to the site to read a review for something totally different and am greeted by a huge picture and article on Bowserette it's kinda hard to ignore and move on.
@Elvie That's part of the appeal
@Tasuki you could apply that logic to any subject though, maybe the review you wanted to read is the same thing someone else wanted to ignore. Each individual needs to take responsibility for the content they want to read, if they aren’t interested in an article then don’t click on it. If a site has more content you don’t want to read than content you do want to read, maybe no longer visit that website?
@PtM what do you mean?
@antdickens You make a good point. Just to be clear for me it doesn't make a difference but I can see where people who are tired of this Bowserette thing are coming from too.
@Tasuki perhaps, but like I said that can be applied to any subject. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to please everyone, the majority of our readers seem to want us to cover it point taken though.
Fantastic, these tears are delicious!
When games like this are released on other consoles but not the Switch...
@Tasuki
I hardly think this is being shoved down our throats. It isn't a mandatory article you have to read to use this website.
Just what I needed. Bowsette to beat me up. Thanks, Soul Calibur VI.
I love the bowsette stuff. Have no problem with it and it’s not that constant. Either way this was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
I just made her thanks to the guide. Woo!
@TheLZdragon What has been seen cannot be unseen. Excuse me while I bleach my eyes.
@Ttimer5 There could be 25 Nintendo Directs. Right now that's nothing but speculation.
Roughly a fifth of the comments here are complaining about this article. Surely if you want posts like this to stop rearing their head, don’t comment on them, not all articles get 100+ comments...
Better yet, click on another article, ignore the ones that arent of interest ✌️
How about no?
@antdickens -
I hope it was clear my previous post was in sarcasm!
I find it a little tiring, the whines that the site isn't how some people feel it should be.
So, from someone who visits the site everyday and is able to decide if an article is one I would like to read and doesn't mind if it isn't - it'll appeal to someone, thank you (and the rest of the team) for all the hard work.
It is appreciated.
@Mii_duck haha, yes it was 100% clear, don't worry! Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it too!
Bowsette: Making [the World] Great Again!
