Nintendo has released a free demo of Princess Peach: Showtime! ahead of its full release later this month.
The demo can be downloaded now on Switch. It starts at the beginning of the game and offers two levels to play, with Swordfighter Peach and Patisserie Peach.
If you missed it until now, the game has players like Peach who help save a theater by dressing up in various costumes that grant different powers.
A deep dive into Princess Peach: Showtime! (Nintendo Switch)I quickly tried the demo (you can mash the buttons in about 20 minutes) and it's a lot of fun.
However, it's unclear whether progress in the demo will carry over to the full game.
It all seems a bit like Luigi's mansion, with Peach being invited to a theater that of course is not what it seems.
Although it was published by Nintendo, the developer remains unknown. However, some players looked behind the curtain and found the game's codename, PJ037, which matches others from developer Good-Feel (thanks Nintendo Everything).
Good-Feel is responsible for games like Wario Land: Shake It, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Yoshi's two crafting platformers. That may explain why Princess Peach: Showtime! presents a similar vibe with its designed scenic setting.
Princess Peach: Show time! releases in full on March 22.
