Princess Peach: Showtime! new gameplay | VGC

Personality, as Samuel L. Jackson once told John Travolta over lunch, goes a long way. Few games demonstrate this as acutely as Princess Peach: Showtime, a simple yet undeniably captivating variety show that we couldn’t help but fall a little bit in love with. Walking into a recent Nintendo preview event, we weren’t quite sure what to expect from the Super Mario heroine’s starring role, with pre-release trailers showing a myriad of gameplay styles, and more costume changes than a Taylor Swift concert, but not how it all inks together. Showtime, it turns out, starts with Peach being invited to the Sparkle Theatre. However, when she arrives, she discovers it’s been taken over by the witch Madame Grape, and her gang The Sour Bunch, who have transformed each play into a tragedy. With the help of the theatre guardian Stellar and her sparkle powers, Peach is out to return the theatre to its former glory. ► Visit the VGC website for the latest games news: ► Subscribe to VGC for daily videos: ► Follow VGC on Twitter:
