As an adult with no kids, I’m enjoying playing this game for myself. I’m bad at Mario so it’s nice to have a spin-off I can play without struggling.

My daughter is super psyched for this, she's been playing the demo over and over again.

The game looks so cute and charming. I find it so funny that there's always a spotlight shining down on Peach, even when she's supposed to sneak around unseen.

I dig the concept of Peach dressing up in various costumes and having different abilities in a hijacked theater. It feels like multiple Video Game Genres coming together in a spectacular love letter to The Princess.

But I will admit that some of Peach's transformations are better than others.

My daughter has replayed the demo at least 27 times (I can only count the times I was present for, possible many more on her own or with my wife) so I'd say even if the game was nothing but more of what the demo offered, it'd be worth it to her.

I still love how cute this game looks, thinking of getting it to play with my niece

[TheLonelyGoomba]

Got this game a bit early and played most of it tbh. Game is surprisingly solid imo. Don't make the mistake I did and presume the demo reflects the entire game. It's way more creative and engaging as you'd expect.

I just realised that Princess Peach: Showtime has the same opening scene as Tenet.

I love the reaction I get from my nieces and nephews when I call her Princess Toadstool

This 57 year old kid has pre-ordered. Looks like good fun!!

[jimmyramos]

This game sounds like a better version of Balan Wonderworld

[michaelkaduck]

This reminds me of classic platformers I played when I was a kid, with different designs for each level and minigames galore. Definitely will pick up!

[jobi-wankenobi]

As someone who was a HUGE fan of the Super Princess Peach game on NDS, this looks exciting! Glad its really good.

[jazzratoon]

This game is by the same folks behind Kirby's Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Wolly World, Good-Feel, which explains the difficulty.

[AStupidID]

This looks way better than I was expecting! Actually really want it now!

[desh]

I love the design of the outfits and sometimes it's nice to have a nice easy game to play

[markusszelbracikowski]

Good Feel is such an underrated studio. Their games are super innovative and look amazing.

[diabeticman]

While the demo didn’t necessarily sell me on the game, but it’s nice to see it review well! Might pick it up later in the year

[courtneyevie]

now that i've played the game, it's honestly super fun! my only complaint with the game at all is that if you miss a sparkle gem, you have to replay the whole level without skipping any cutscenes to get it again. i definitely would have preferred something like celeste where once you beat a level you can restart it from anywhere to get any collectibles you might have missed. would definitely make some difficult sections like the second patisserie level much quicker to complete.

Yeah I'm getting this game and don't give a crap what others think of me as an adult. These games just scream joyful fun :-)
