- Princess Peach is starring in her first video game in roughly 20 years! Near the end of the Switch's life, too. As one of the console's final truly original games, Princess Peach: Showtime! is...certainly an interesting one.

I 100% the game and "charming" is the best word for it. Nothing was INCREDIBLE, but all of it was good. It's likely going to be one of those games I show to my casual gamer friends with "Hey, give this a try."
I think it's quite fun. The transformations and all the different roles she plays. It makes me eant Prach to have her own partner series (a la Yoshi, DK, Wario, and Luigi) in the Mario franchise.
And the inconsistent voice for Peach is actually brilliant. She's an actor/performer in the context of the adventure. Performers have range and adjust that range in accordance to the role they play. That's ehy she has a deeper tone for the more action-y roles and something closer to her typical voice for the Patissiere and other 'gentle' roles.
The gameplay of this one, to me, is *fine.* But I LOVE the aesthetics, the energy, the playful sense of imagination, the snappy action, the variety of gameplay ideas, and THE COSTUMES.
The gameplay is simple, but that's okay because it has charm coming out of every polygon. It's been a long time that a game made me feel like a giddy kid the way this one did. More please 🍑
I enjoyed seeing the different roles that Peach played. Especially Samantha Kelly’s performance with Peach’s voice and the range she gave her.
She actually has personality now.
@@jameslawrenson1208kinda hard for her to have much personality when she's barely even seen for 98% of the mainline games.
The voice acting by Samantha Kelly is really good. To me though, it is a bit jarring to hear Peach speak multiple full sentences and for her voice to go so deep. Still great though!
I think a lot of the Balan comparisons aren't so much about what they have in common, but rather that this is accomplishing what Balan *wanted* to do with its game but failed to. At least from the comparisons I've seen between the two. I mean then again, I'm one of those people who are stupid enough to not absolutely despise Balan, so feel free to disregard what I just said. (Also Sony, please re-release Puppeteer please?)
16:26 this was literally me lmao
I finished P3 Reload and was like “ok now for something more relaxing”
And I really enjoyed my time with the game, very fun and cute, hope Goodfeel makes another one
Captain Syrup? My god I'm surprised I'm not the only one keeping Wario Land on life support
Ditto. Wario Land needs an comeback.
Princess Peach Showtime sold very well so I think there will be a sequel. And in the end credits Madame Grape's mask could be seen. So I think she will be the main villain in the next game, maybe she will indeed be Peach's arch enemy, just like King Boo and Luigi. Anyway, the future of Princess Peach is going to be amazing.
Most likely it would be a new game in the same style like Wooly from Crafted, but I agree, IT DESERVES ONE!!!
Definitely like the design of Madame Grape, would love to see her in a mainline Mario game.
I would prefer a new game but not following this theatre style
@@earthboundman5769 I don't think Nintendo will do anything completely different with the gameplay. But there are a lot of thing that can do with this. Maybe instead of a theater, princess peach goes to a movie studio. I think they just stretch the surface with this idea
@@polycube868Same
Why does everyone forget Endless Ocean Luminous exists when discussing how there are no "new" first-party Switch exclusives on the horizon after Showtime?
Yeah, I’m getting the vibe that Luminous isn’t going to do that well considering how often people seem to be forgetting it exists
You see, a lot of Nintendo fans only care about the big stuff while simultaneously being angry thinking Nintendo never brings back old franchises.
Famicom Detective Club, Advance Wars, even Trace memory earlier this year, all ignored by the very people who thinks Nintendo abandons too many of their franchises. Old Antdude sadly fits this description if you watched his 2023 in review video.
cus only 12 people care about that game
*Is* Endless Ocean a first-party Nintendo game though?
@@HypeVoiceActing If somehow you think it's not, you must think this Peach game isn't either.
Grape does vaguely look like a Balan character, and Peach gets her powers from costumes. That's about all the similarities I can really see between the two.
Actually, the Ribbon Stella gives her grants the powers. Because without it, she can't do anything.
Honestly, I enjoyed my time with Princess Peach Showtime: I'm not going to say it's the most memorable game I've played on the switch (because Fire Emblem 3 Houses exists), but they're still fun to be had here.
I'd put this on the same level of Goodfeel's Yoshi games - pretty easy, cute games that aren't too deep. Would love a sequel.
I feel a bit bad that the marketing for this was basically drenched in pink, and the game itself looks a lot more grounded and not very „princess“ like. That’s cool. I wish the marketing department would have put a spotlight on those other elements, so that it wouldn’t have looked to classic pink princess girl‘ish, tbh
This game was charming as all hell and I absolutely appreciated that, but being honest I don't see myself ever playing it again. Having to start the entire stage over again if I missed a gem and not being able to skip cutscenes (with the sole exception being the transformation sequences) or dialogue were infuriating. The game took me around a dozen hours to complete but it definitely felt a lot longer.
I won't say Showtime is a bad game by any stretch, but I kind of hold a similar opinion of it as I do for Kirby's Epic Yarn, the only other GoodFeel game I've ever played. A casual playthrough of it is kind of boring while a completionist playthrough is rather frustrating, but the charm alone was enough to make me say I don't regret giving it a shot.
My SIL had only ever played Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley due to my brother playing alongside her. He got her this game for her birthday and she absolutely loves it.
I think these kind of games are made for people like her, a low-difficulty, high-production-value experience for people with low videogame literacy to dip their toes into games.
Thank you, thank you , THANK YOU for the Puppeteer mention. It's about time somebody made that comparison and another reason why I love PPS.
I haven't beaten this game, but I'm honestly really enjoying it so far.
Yay I’m glad you’re enjoying it too😊
I had a very enjoyable time playing this game, and it was weird, because it was hard to tell why I was enjoying it as much as I did. I think just the presentation (the character interactions and theming) sold me
The game is the perfect definition of 'cute'. It's fun, it's good, it's cute, but not amazing. And know what? That's perfectly fine.
seeing antdude talking about games casually while putting them on a carpet reminds me of something…
Hey all...
I actually played Puppeteer, still have my copy, regard it as one of the best platformers I ever played, and you have no idea how much it made my day that you know it too and gave it a shout out ^^
Bro, love your content! I'm playing through persona 3 reload as well would love to hear anything you wanna say about that for the record, I'm 80 hours into my play through lol
I have the game and finished it in less than a week rather than a few hours, though, with that being said, I loved it. The game play was really fun and I loved the challenges, most of the Sparkle Gems were kind of hard to get, though.
Ant I've played the demo of Princess Peach Showtime! and then the full version of it and this game is fun and cute to play
I had a great time with this game, lo-ki chill with power ranger transforming elements, I was down and had a blast
puppeteer mentioned! Honestly this review made me want to replay puppeteer more than try pps.
Hopefully Daisy, Rosalina or Pauline will be playable characters. The dresses I thought was a dud. They could have made them different colors. Like a Daisy color dress, or Rosalina or even Pauline. Maybe her NES classic dress, or the power up dresses from Mario Bros/Wonder, or the costume from Odyssey.
Hey ant dude! Any chance we can get more of the old let’s play’s reuploaded?
Antdude are you going to do a Conkers Bad Fur Day review at some point?
It might be' not a masterpiece, bit it was a leasing and fun experience overall. Also I loved the final battle so I'm good.
The game was pretty good. Even though it might've been easy, I have raged at a couple of parts when I missed a collectable at some points, LOL.
props again for the bomberman music
I’ll have to buy this to play it together with my daughters

AntDude: Peach does have good pipes
Me: She has what now?
that means she has great singing.
I'm just waiting for when Good-Feel makes another Wario Land game.
@@jaretco6423 You haven't played the one they made before, have you?
it really feels like Grape should have a title on her name, like Countess Grape, or Grand Diva Grape
also... considering this game isn't truly voiced, why not let Peach talk? why Nintendo fears letting their protagonists talk, they aren't Custom Characters meant to be the Player themselves
She's referred to as "Madame Grape" in the game, and Peach is surprisingly vocal in this game (voice-wise, not dialogue-wise, anyways).
@@ShweetsStuff ok Madame Grape, that's better
well yeah, but that's what i mean, Peach has spoken in Dialogue before, so her not talking in dialogue is silly here
This gets compared to Balan Wonder World? That's one hell of a bad take holy sh**.
Also, this game is only mildly easy. There is some challenge later on.
Okey can anybody tell me from what the song ant dude has in the background from? Cuz I feel I heard it somewhere and I keep thinking sly Cooper but I don't really know😅
Bomberman Hero
Headcanon: Grape is related to Rudy the Clown from Wario Land 3
I loved this game, I don't even have any problem with its difficulty. My only problem was its length. It felt like a waste of designed gameplay to just have 3 plays per mechanic, they had everything to give us more content and that's my only issue...
I’m very glad I only played 32 bucks for this because anything more would feel like a rip off, it’s not a bad game by all means, it has its charm but it’s rather painfully basic
Yeah, I'm glad I tried the demo...just not for me, it's well put together, great presentation, just very meh gameplay.
No alts for the power costumes I take it? Even Scooby Doo could do that much.
This game gets a 9 out of 10
“A bunch of creative ideas” honestly sounds like such a good time, I feel like some games take one good idea and then try to force feed an entire story though it while not offering up anything new.
is this just a kirby game with peach instead?
Hahaha NO. It's nothing like Kirby.
Until that final boss. . .
I agree with you. One really bad take I've heard is that there isn't variety among the different costumes/stages. Disagree. And to be honest I don't play Lies of Bloodbourne Pinocchio...I don't even play Halo...but I'm not sure it's even fair to say it's unbelievably easy (how is that possible if the bosses are all awesome and you 'need' to replay each stage as you correctly say?). I'm going back through now to complete and it is annoying with how you have to totally restart stages. I wouldn't care if the loading times weren't pretty long, and they are. Time for Switch Ni Nintendo.
Most of the bosses in this game weren't all that interesting to me, the second one seemed like the best. Final one reminded me of kirby 64's one a bit. Also, hope I'm not the only one who found the ice skating stages weirdly difficult
It's "cute" and playable and all, but from the demo I just wasn't too impressed...if this is what other games by Good Feel are like I don't think I'd like them much...I don't a game to be Dark Souls or a hard Metroidvania, but it just didn't do it for me...which is sad as it has potential, add a double jump and I'd automatically like it a lot more...a good game for kids and casual gamers but that's it.
Seems like it’s a good “blockbuster rented” game. For those of us who grew up doing that. Good for a weekend but not really good enough for a complete commitment to buying it.
People are stupid to compare this game to Balan Wonderworld. While Princess Peach Showtime! Isn’t a perfect game, it’s still far and away better than that train wreck of a game. Seriously!
I'd say that's a bit harsh, but I guess when it comes to Balan there's no such thing as "too harsh", amiright?
@@HypeVoiceActing Well, it’s the truth.
Ah Balan Wonderworld the Bubsy 3D of our Generation 😂
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate I moreso meant calling people stupid for comparing the two
@HypeVoiceActing I don't take it back, and I do NOT care what you think of it. Just because people have the right to an opinion, doesn't justify using it to either compare or bash something else to whatever thing is worthy of being called trash. And like I said in my earlier comment, Showtime isn't a perfect game, and there were a few decisions that they could have ironed out differently, but it's still an enjoyable game because of what things it did right. Balan Wonderworld, on the other hand, needs to just be made over again from scratch.
think nintendo just doesn't know how to make a game with a female lead. she was basically a side characer in her own game on the ds...and admitted they dont know how to make a shiek/zelda game
They do have games with a female lead already. It's called Metroid
@@HypeVoiceActing you mean the game where they couldn't reveal the character was even a woman until the very end? And a franchise where the only game she ever had a speaking role was near universally panned?
I thought her role in this game was fine.
@@maxisenberg9093Yes because two meh games absolutely speak for the rest of the franchise consisting of games much better than those two
@@HypeVoiceActing lol no
The voice acting being very inconsistent (sometimes gold, sometimes just dead inside) was really the only part of this game that was a tad underwhelming, the rest was about as ‘alright’ as I expected. Fun time, nothing more.
I emulated Peach Showtime and Bakeru the Tanuki back to back because i did not want to pay 60 for Showtime and im glad i didnt. Good Feel made both games and i would have much rather paid 60 for Bakeru if they actually localized it for the west because that game deserves to sell more than Showtime. Its way more fun to play and is constantly surprising you just like Goemon 64 since its a spiritual successor. Both games may not be super challenging but if youre gonna play one of the two games, Bakeru is just more engaging because of the setting, visuals, music, characters, etc. It also has a fan translation so i recommend that.
It's funny you mention Goemon, because apparently the creator of Goemon is also the person who directed Peach Showtime
Comments like this. Now I'm even happier that Showtime has been the #1 selling game in Japan for the last few weeks according to Famitsu. Well-deserved.
@@FrozenTundra88I think you misread the op, because I'm pretty sure they're saying they *disliked* Showtime
Pretty sure emulating Switch games without buying is piracy and illegal.
Crownless Peach is very cursed
You should see all the crownless Peach alts in Mariokart Tour.
@@user-zw3on4bx2t I haven't had the pleasure but now I'll look it up!
I'm happy it's new but this is like, a nothing burger for me dawg.
I feel like it should've been a Kirby game instead but whatever
Narrator needs to shut up. enough negativity.
Showtime is one of the nintendo games of all time. I was so dissapointed by it.
Its good, but you might wanna get it on sale. Dare i say it, it might be the 2nd best Good Feel game after Poochy and Yoshis Wooly World. And that soundtrack. . .🤌
