Princess Peach and South Park join this week’s eShop roundup

There’s a lot happening on the Nintendo Switch eShop this week, with Princess Peach: Showtime debuting on our favorite hybrid system. Joining our pink heroine are two other big hitters in the form of MLB The Show 24 and South Park: Snow Day.

Princess Peach: Showtime! was first teased in a Nintendo Direct last year, with further trailers over the last few months trickling through what we can expect from Peach’s latest solo outing. We enjoyed the demo, and we’ll let you know our thoughts on the full game soon, too. In the meantime, which is your fave of Peach’s transformation powers?

South Park: Snow Day feels like it was a long time coming. It was also teased some time ago, pitting a new kid against South Park’s greatest in what can only be described as one of the best days in a kid’s life: a snow day.

There’s a long list of other titles to check out this week – seriously, there are over 40 – so let’s get to it! Which games will you be playing this week? Let us know!

Nintendo Switch

Princess Peach: Showtime! – Join Princess Peach as she steps into the spotlight in her very own single-player action game! As Princess Peach attends the Sparkle Theater, the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch take control over the play to enact their own performances. Joined by Stella, the theater’s guardian, Peach must save each show and transform to match the performance – becoming Swordfighter Peach, Detective Peach, Ninja Peach, Patissiere Peach and more. Each transformation changes up the action and comes with its own abilities for Peach to best save each play and call curtains to Grape’s wicked plans. The Princess Peach: Showtime! game is available March 22, with a free demo available now on Nintendo eShop.
MLB The Show 24 – It’s your Show. Ready to own it? Earn your call up from the minors to the big leagues and prove you’ve got what it takes at the top. Learn from the legends of the sport, take inspiration from their heroics and use it to improve your game. Chalk up the wins, pick yourself up after the losses. Hold your nerve when it matters and earn the right to be called World Series champion. Whatever happens, know you left nothing in the dugout. MLB The Show 24 is available now.
SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! – Team up with Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny to save the town in this co-op action game. Customize your own New Kid and battle your way through the snow-piled streets of South Park solo or with up to three friends in an all-new story. Equip a variety of weapons and deploy devastating special abilities on an adventure to save the world and enjoy a day without school. SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! launches on March 26. Pre-orders are available now on Nintendo eShop.
