Coming next year to Nintendo Switch, a new game with Peach in a starring role, judging by what little has been shown, it doesn't appear to be a sequel to Super Princess Peach
 
in a spiritual successor kind of way.. it might be.
"What on earth is happening?"
Gee, Nintendo, would be nice if you told us.
A magic ribbon of light to fend off darkness?
 
I'm really excited for this game! Sure, Super Princess Peach on DS was good, but it had a few flaws such as Perry's unresolved backstory, boring minigames, and the fact that you have to beat the game twice to finish it completely. I really hope this new Peach game not only brings some fresh ideas to the table, but also fixes some of the flaws SPP had.
 
I like the stage aesthetic.
 
i wonder if it's gonna be some sort of magical girl like thing, im kinda getting those vibes from her dress glowing near the end
 
Considering how Peach never had her crown in the ad, I'm guessing the play in the ad was about how Peach got the crown and became the ruler of the toads.

Also, since this game takes place on a stage, and most real life musicals take place on a stage, I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a straight-up musical combat game of sorts, with a similar style of boss battles to The Nightmare Before Christmas; Oogie's Revenge (If you want to know what I'm talking about, please try looking up The Nightmare Before Christmas; Oogie's Revenge boss battles on YouTube).

What could possibly go wrong?
(THEATERRRRRR!! :D )
 
The 2.5D look kinda makes it look like a successor to 3D Land and 3D World. Maybe they decided that 2D Mario games were for the casual gamers, famileis and kids, 3D Mario games were for the core Nintendo fans and gamers, and the 3D Land formula didn't fit in either so they're now making it a "small kids" thing like Kirby or Yoshi? Who knows.

Although I do think it's stupid to assume that they're trying to market this game as a "girl game", admittedly, or that it is any more casual than the other entries to the main series just because it has Peach as a protagonist. It might as well be the hardcore platformer we deserve.
