From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s been almost two decades since Princess Peach last fronted her own Nintendo video game. Starring as the protagonist in 2005’s Super Princess Peach, the ever-hapless royal flipped the damsel in distress script to take charge and rescue Mario and Luigi from the claws of Bowser.
But that was several Nintendo DS iterations, two Wii systems and a whole generation of Nintendo Switch games ago. Now, the princess is finally back, and will once again become the protagonist of her own game in Princess Peach: Showtime!.
The action-adventure 2D side-scroller sees Princess Peach and her Toads happily attending a show at The Sparkle Theatre, only for the Sour Bunch to turn up and try to ruin every single play. Locked inside, it’s up to Princess Peach to save the day by transforming into Sword Fighter Peach, Detective Peach, Patisserie Peach and more, so that no play gets ruined.
Launching on 22 March, Princess Peach: Showtime! is currently 20 per cent off at Currys when you pre-order the game and use a special discount code. Here’s what you need to know.
‘Princess Peach: Showtime!’, Nintendo Switch: Was £49.99, now £39.99, Currys.co.uk
Princess Peach: Showtime! is the first Princess Peach game without Mario or Luigi, taking place entirely in a theatre full of high budget set pieces. Think curtains, pulley systems featuring enemies, elaborate backdrops, and the perfect lighting. When Peach transforms into her various costumes through the levels, she’ll start to interact with the sets, making them part of the gameplay.
Ahead of the launch of the latest Princess Peach title, those who pre-order the game can save 20 per cent at Currys by entering “PEACH20” at the checkout, saving you £10.
