Super Princess Peach screens

DS News | It’s Peach’s time to shine.
You all know how it goes, Bowser decides to kidnap a member of Mushroom Kingdom which has always been Peach and a slew of Toadstools, except this time he’s kidnapped the Mario and Luigi. But Bowser has picked the wrong fellas to kidnap, because Peach is packing a parasol and a quadrangle of emotions to call on when the time is right.

Peach can channel her emotions at the touch of a screen. She turns happy, sad and angry with the stroke of a stylus, which you will need to do in order to make Peach airborne, turn hazards into ash and to manipulate the surrounding flora. Her smiley parasol – Kasaa, helps the Princess out by whacking things, picking up items and float Peach to safety.

Players can look forward to saving Mario and Luigi in Super Princess Peach on the 30th of March in Australia and June 26th for Europe.

I can't wait for some of this old school platforming action!!! Importing this from the US as they get it a month or so earlier.

Theory are you blind? Honestly that looks bloody aweful. She has to cry to grow stalks to climb? Oh and what a waste of the touch screen.

I must not be blind, since your aweful spelling mistakes are currently commanding the attention of my retinas. Also, keep your uninformed opinions to yourself yo - this game is gonna rock. icon_razz.gif

what i meant was that i was in awe of your blindness...****...no just shutup!

The demographic for this game is 10 year old girls. Did you read the dialogue in those screenies? Oh and theres a giant 'YOU CAN ALSO USE YOUR STYLUS' hint on one screen. I will eat my hat if this turns out to be any good.

WELL someone has to save Mario! We need him back for The New Super Mario Brothers game.

As for me I get enough tears and firey emotion from the GF.

Still a Mushroom Kingdom platformer, even a pared down one is a safer bet than most.

Um, i think this game looks great, some old school 2D action sounds great, BTW even Mario 64 had a message saying "touch the stylus to continue" it's just for the first few levels.

I've got the JPN version, great little game that's sure to please 2D platformer fans. It's a little on the easy side but it's got some good ideas in it and some surprisingly decent boss fights. I've not finished it yet but I'll have a PALGN review up nearer PAL release when I do icon_smile.gif

I'm as big a fan of 2D platformers as the next gamer, but everytime I see this it looks lamer and lamer

I'll wait to hear some reviews, but so far I'm interested because of two words that go great together.... Nintendo + platformer

It looks like a pretty good game, I probably won't buy it though. Not good enough to own, is what I think at the moment.

Such extensive market research.

Famitsu gave it a 34/40 which is encouraging.

True, but look what they gave Nintendogs and Windwaker. I'd prefer to wait for some Australian reviews, to see how people liked it from the west. (Or even US)

Same here. I definately thought Nintendogs was (and still is) way overrated (40/40 - puh-lease ).

But it's better than being poorly recieved by Famitsu, which is what I was really getting at.

I'd say the demographic is Ninty fanboys who are buying the game 'for their little sister'.

It looks nice. Kind of Yoshi's Island-esque. ... you know, we need another Yoshi's Island.

This will be the first game I will have bought on the day of release since Resident Evil 4 this time last year. Can't wait.

And about the 'demographic' thing - have you no concept of irony? It's so fluffy and bringht that it's post-modern bad-ass! It actually looks like a graphical counterpart to Super Mario World.

Unless your'e so insecure you have to have blood and violence in your games to prove your manliness, what a game looks like does not define you.

Wind Waker deserved it, and all praise it ever got. Still my game of the generation, only Metroid Prime getting close.

When I first heard about it: "Peach? Platformer? Yess!"
When I heard about the umbrella: "Umm, ok....makes some sense, I guess"
When I saw the emotion system: "I guess that's pretty cool"
When I saw these screenshots: "Err, wtf?"

The more I think about it the less I think it'll make a good game, anyone care to enlighten me otherwise? I have no cares for manliness and such so use whatever means you feel necessary, because I want to want this game, but I just don't right now.

It's a platformer from Nintendo set in the Mario universe, that should be all the persuasion you need.

Sorry dude, but this is one I'll never agree on.

As for this game Peach game, the main worry that I have is that it's going to be bone easy. The style I can live with but I need challenge to get my jollies.

Exactly.
The Super Mario series is as fun today as it ever was. I'm sure if you went back and played Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES you would find it pretty easy, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the greatest 2D platformer titles ever, does it?
