Princess Peach: Showtime! has been available on Nintendo Switch for less than two months now, but the game is off to a very strong start. According to Nintendo's latest financial results, the game has already sold more than 1.22 million copies, officially joining a long list of million sellers on the system.
While Princess Peach has been playable in video games since Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1988, Showtime is just the second solo game the character has ever had. The first was 2005's Super Princess Peach, which was released on Nintendo DS. That game went on to sell 1.7 million copies during its lifetime, so it will be interesting to see if the Nintendo Switch game can manage to surpass those numbers. Nintendo DS remains the best-selling Nintendo system ever at 154.
A New Direction for Princess PeachPrincess Peach: Showtime! seemed to set the stage for a potential new spin-off series for Nintendo. The game gave Peach new transformation abilities , as well as her very own set of enemies and supporting characters. It remains to be seen if this will be a one-off like Super Princess Peach was, or if we could see these mechanics and characters continue on in a second game. With Peach having played a major role in The Super Mario Bros.
