Don’t buy it on Switch for the moment.
This year’s edition of MLB The Show has been out for over a week at the time of writing, and some of you may be wondering where our review has gotten to. We’ve taken a look at each previous release of the Sony-helmed series that came to Switch starting in 2022, and you’d be right in assuming we would take to the field with this one, as well.
Unfortunately, we’ve hit exactly the same snag that many Switch owners have, it seems — namely, we can’t access the Diamond Dynasty mode without the game crashing. Sony San Diego Studio hasn’t made any official announcement on the issue, with a brief forum response being the only public acknowledgement we can find:

With Princess Peach: Showtime! now available on the Switch, Nintendo is beginning to turn its focus to the return of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Ahead of its release in May, it’s been sharing pre-order details and other information.
Now, to add to this, it’s released a two-minute story trailer and although there’s no gameplay footage, it seems to have got fans quite excited.

Did it give you the ol’ razzle dazzle?
Last week, The Mushroom Kingdom’s beloved ruler made her solo Switch debut with Princess Peach: Showtime!, an impressive performance in an approachable production that gracefully leaps between genres and finally delivers a star vehicle for a woman that has spent too long out of the spotlight.
