Princess Peach: Showtime might be on the simpler side of things, but its charm and variety have me interested in the final performance.
CCG writes - "All in all, Princess Peach: Showtime! is a cute game but is a tad overpriced for less than ten hours of gameplay in my opinion. It’s a fun game and there’s a lot of variety and charm. If you’re on the fence, there’s a demo available. It’s certainly worth picking up on sale."
A tad overpriced!! My 6 year old daughter wants it and I want to buy it her but I’m not paying that for a glorified web-browser flash game.
It’s games like this that unfortunately shine a light on how much the industry can take advantage of the nature of children playing video games.
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "I absolutely love this for Peach. She’s a fantastic character, and her personality really shined in Super Mario Odyssey, The Super Mario Bros Movie and here, now, with Princess Peach: Showtime! This is such a trip of a title where it feels like the player is doing absolutely everything under the sun. You get to have that passion for every incarnation for just a short time, then move on to something different. Being able to sample so many interactions and scenarios keeps the game fresh from start to finish, allowing players to revel and replay the plays they enjoy and just quickly bust through the ones they don’t. There’s charm, there’s cuteness, there’s a generous difficulty curve and there’s a plot that passes the Bechdel test. This is the right step forward for Peach into the spotlight, and I hope Showtime! is the first of many more adventures to come."
"Princess Peach: Showtime! is a casual romp that explores a range of mechanics in a short, but perfectly crafted, slice of Nintendo."
