New special missions now available.

Following an update to the mobile runner Super Mario Run last week (bumping the game up to Version 3.2.0), Nintendo has now officially announced a new Princess Peach: Showtime! event for the title.

Yes, following a collaboration with Super Mario Bros. Wonder last year, this new event will run until 7th May 2024. It contains a bunch of missions themed around Peach’s transformations in the new Switch outing. Here’s the rundown (via Perfectly-Nintendo):

Heading out to see Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire this weekend? Looking for something to get you in the mood, or to keep the ‘bustin’ going when you get home? Well, here’s our list of every Ghostbusters game on Nintendo platforms to help thaw you out…

MORE!

In the last seven years, the bounty of software that has come to Switch is really remarkable. You might argue that, in fact, there’s too much great stuff being released — too much to be able to play everything you’d like, at least.

Let’s get things straight — we ain’t complaining! But given the games that have come to Switch, you look at the ones that are MIA and it makes you wonder why.

According to a site construction notice.

Back in 2021, Nintendo announced that it was building a museum-style facility, then called the “Nintendo Gallery”, on the site of its Uji Ogura Plant in Kyoto, with expectations that construction would be finished in March 2024. The building work on the site — since given the official title Nintendo Museum — looked to be on course from the outside, but it seems the museum will miss its target completion date by a month or so.

The construction notice displayed at the site, as captured below by @hanayohaneNEKO on Twitter (thanks, Kyotogamer), now lists the completion date as 30th April. It’s unclear how long this notice update has been up, but it does appear that the museum won’t quite be ready for the end of March.

Crystal clear.

If you can believe it (and, to be honest, we can’t) it has been a whopping 15 years since Pokémon Platinum first arrived on Western shores. It has been a decade and a half since we first met Giratina and co. A decade and a half since we stepped foot in the Distortion World. And, most importantly perhaps, a decade and a half since we last got an ‘ultimate’ third entry to a Pokémon generation.

We’ll dowse ourselves in Repel Spray before taking a step further — yes, you could count Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as a ‘definitive’ edition for Gen VII. In fact, we might even do the same. This is a pair of games that carried much of the same DNA as the ones that came before them (Sun and Moon, in this case) while adding new Pokémon, locations, and a fresh storyline. Sounds pretty ‘ultimate’ to us.

Step into the spotlight.

Well, this week marks the arrival of Princess Peach: Showtime! on the Nintendo Switch and it seems to have got off to a reasonably positive start receiving plenty of respectable scores so far.

In our own review, we labelled Peach’s latest outing a “high-class production” – awarding it 8/10. Her new title has plenty of creativity and style, and levels are packed full of all sorts of secrets, outfits, and mechanics to keep the action feeling fresh.
