Princess Peach: Showtime! is a cute entry in Nintendo’s Mario franchise. This time, you take on the role of Princess Peach as she embarks on her very own adventure full of mystery and abilities. One day, Princess Peach and some Toads attend a show at the Sparkle Theater, but before they can enjoy the performance, The wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch show up to cause chaos. Now it’s your job as Peach, accompanied by the theater’s guardian Stella, to save the play from the villains!
Use the power of Stella’s ribbon to go up against the Sour Bunch in order to reclaim the stage. Stella’s ribbon isn’t enough, though, and you’ll need to employ some other abilities to help. Princess Peach: Showtime! will have you transforming into Swordfighter Peach, Detective Peach, Pâtissière Peach, Kung Fu Peach, and many other transformations to save the day. Each transformation brings unique abilities that will help you dispatch the Sour Bunch, as well as overcome obstacles, and return the show to its rightful stage!
Release Date
You won’t have long to wait for Princess Peach: Showtime! This adorable entry in the Mario franchise comes out March 22nd on Switch.

In Good Job! you are the clumsy child of the company’s CEO and you must climb the corporate ladder. To do that, you need to complete different puzzles in multiple ways through experimenting with the interactive environments. Gently wheel a projector through the door, or catapult it through a wall, for example. However you choose to accomplish tasks, you’ll need to work to prove your worth to make it to the top of the company and make dad proud!
Your duties in Good Job! vary from fixing the office’s internet connection to cleaning up unidentified goo. There’s always the chance to bump into your coworkers or knock over some priceless items while you toil around the office, but don’t worry! What’s important is you getting the job done at all. Completing jobs will get you that much closer to the executive suite. Plus, you can replay levels to complete puzzles faster and with less damages. The office also doesn’t have a strict dress code, so you can collect over 100 different outfits that range from business casual to Viking chic. And if you don’t want to play alone, get a friend to join you so you can split responsibilities between the two of you.
Ready to make your way to the top of the company?
Release Date
Good Job! is available now on Nintendo Switch!
