Princess Peach: Showtime! free demo available, new trailer and commercial shared

Earlier in the week, we heard rumors of a Princess Peach: Showtime! demo hitting the Switch eShop. Turns out those rumors were true, as Nintendo has now confirmed the demo via a special trailer that just released. You can hop on the Switch eShop right now and go grab the demo for free!

Step into the spotlight as Peach to save the Sparkle Theater from the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch! In the free demo of the single-player action game, players can experience the Swordfighter Peach and Patissiere Peach transformations. Swing, strike, dodge and counterattack as Swordfighter Peach and cut across an action-packed stage. Then, turn into Patissiere Peach and get ready to whip up an array of delectable desserts to prevent the Sweet Festival from experiencing a serious sugar crash.

Each of Peach’s transformations grant her distinct abilities that she will need to save the plays at Sparkle Theater. A new overview trailer details the variety of these transformations and highlights new information on the game – including customization options to add extra flair to Peach’s dress and Stella’s ribbon, and a closer look at the themed plays Peach will navigate on her adventure.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is now available for pre-order at select retailers, at Nintendo.com and in Nintendo eShop at a suggested retail price of $59.99. And coinciding with the release of the game on March 22, a set of pastel pink Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers will be available at select retailers and My Nintendo Store at a suggested retail price of $79.99.

Last but not least, a new Japanese commercial for Princess Peach: Showtime! has also been released and you can give it a watch above.
