REVIEW: Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)
It’s been nearly twenty years since this princess has had her own solo game (which I haven’t had a chance to play), but being a huge Nintendo fan, you bet your bottom dollar I was stoked for Princess Peach: Showtime! when it was announced during the last Nintendo Direct.
