Princess Peach is so good

Princess Peach's Battlegrounds.

plz Nintendo

I'd play the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit out of that!
 
My daughter lives and breathes Princess Peach. She even had a Princess Peach themed birthday party.

A game of her own on the Switch would be awesome!

Fucking thank you for this thread. Peach has been my favorite since I was a kid, actually think I'm going to get a Peach-related tattoo sometime soon. Maybe the crown?

On topic I'm hoping that we see something from her in Odyssey. She does have the powered tiara after all, so here's hoping. But it's Nintendo so I'm not expecting much.

I'll be pretty disappointed if they gave Peach a magic tiara in Odyssey and didn't make her a secret playable character. It'd be awesome seeing her do all kinds of acrobatics, though that might not match her characterization up to this point.
 
Also I feel like a lot of the time when Peach is brought up a lot of the criticisms of her border on a disgust towards femininity/femaleness in general. She's not always given a lot to do but not sure why that makes people despise her.

EDIT: Oh look
Lame-ass pinkwearing bimbo

She is fucking pissed

This is the Peach that deserves a game more than anyone else. It's by far my favorite incarnation of the character, & 95% of the reason I like Daisy is because I projected this personality onto her as a kid after learning this wasn't Peach's canonical personality, whereas we knew Daisy could punch-out Bowser thanks to Mario Party 3.

EDIT: I now see your post insulting Daisy, luulubuu, but look inside: she's the Peach you've always wanted.

Peach deserves a good game regardless, though. SPP had some clever ideas but was easy as hell. I'd love a Mario-tier platformer for her, Daisy, & Rosalina to take charge. Maybe with a Captain Toad-esque twist to prevent it from feeling like it could be done in the newest Mario game. What that'd be, I don't know. I hope it's story driven & that Daisy's as badass as she deserves to be in it.
 
We had a Peach game, and it was fucking awful.
I can only imagine the backlash if that game were released today.

Sure, the idea of Peach rescuing Mario is admirable... but the idea that her main means of interacting with the world is by having a stereotypical emotional overreaction to everything is a bit insulting to women, to say the least.

At any rate, Daisy is the real deal

Although I'm also digging Mayor Pauline in Odyssey

A new regular in Mario spinoffs, I hope!
 
I don't really have any desire for a peach game but I wouldn't be against one if it looked inline with my tastes. Can't say I'm a fan of her character though, considering she doesn't really have much of a personality.

I was joking, I love Daisy too, but I have a weak spot for the Blonde Monarch, she deserves better and she could be as iconic if Nintendo wanted
 
They should make that Captain Falcon beat em up everyone keeps mentioning for some terrible reason, but instead of Captain Falcon as the hero, it should be a pissed off Peach.

Princess Peach's Battlegrounds.

plz Nintendo

One of the things I've wanted since Rosalina's introduction is either a platformer or an RPG starring the Princesses.

Peach and Rosalina both are super popular. I don't understand why they don't do it. Also, Daisy deserves better than spinoffs.
 
if we get a natural evolution of SM3DW, i can see Daisy finally becoming playable in a mainline game.

the one thing that kinds bums me about Odyssey is that only Mario seems to be playable.
 
I agree
I like rosalina better
But I agree

But nintendo has those characters locked in roles and care little for changing rather than "once in a while" sonic has a simular issue with female characters

It sucks
 
What if at the end of Mario Odyssey, Mario pulls off his mask and reveals that he's actually been Peach all this time?

And Peach pulls off her mask and reveals she's actually Waluigi?

And Bowser pulls off his mask to reveal that he's actually Wart?
 
I hope Peach is a playable character in Odyssey, maybe as an unlockable player after you beat the game as Mario. Beyond that, I hope Peach gets her own game on the Switch, something that isn't a floaty platformer.
 
People saying Daisy has a better personality or whatever.

Come on people.

Come on.

In any mario game where you can be peach, i make sure i am peach.

I miss the old-school Peach designs. Having her as a party member in Mario RPG was always awesome.

Dat picture between world and RPG.

Earlier i was thinking about it today.

How come no one ever talks about the fact that there is a Zelda game that has Will Wright having a long distance relationship with a goat lady pretending to be Peach?

IS that not the wackiest thing ever to grace the Zelda franchise?

This reminds me of what I ultimately expect to happen with Donald Trump, when he pulls off a mask and reveals himself to be Reggie.

Reggie: "Hi there, Nintendo fans! I bet you're feeling surprised right now. But rest assured, the racism and sexism and xenophobia and narcissism and reckless diplomacy with North Korea and complete lack of empathy for storm victims or interest in rigorously detailed policy was just a ploy to get your attention... and advertise the N64 Classic!"

*Reggie holds up the system*

"Expect to find this system never."
 
Queen.

I agree

The funniest/saddest thing I found in Mario vs Rabbids was that Peach was SO POWERFUL I often had to exclude her from more technical fights because she would usually end up doing too much damage to too wide an area triggering certain traps of movement based enemies. I had to take her out of the roster because she was TOO STRONK.

And she mostly obliterated my dudes as well with her insane range and damage.

Come on people.

Come on.

In any mario game where you can be peach, i make sure i am peach.

In any Mario game where I have the option of Daisy over Peach, I choose Daisy. If Rosalina is in there I start to wish Peach had been bumped to make way for a decent character in the line up.
 
I want a Super Princess Peach where her emotions aren't her only power. They weren't even used that well in that game. What if she has to rescue Toadsworth because he gets kidnapped by evil Toads?

Princess Peach's Battlegrounds.

plz Nintendo

Add Samus, Zelda, Pauline, Toadette, Midna, Palutena, Dixie Kong, Twintelle, Callie, Marie, Pearl, Marina, Krystal, Misty, Lucina, and Robin and you've essentially got a full Nintendo Femme Fatale roster
 
The waifu wars have long divided the Mario fan community, dividing them along lines of Peach, Daisy and Rosalina

Perhaps Mayor Pauline will be The One Waifu to Rule Them All, to finally unite us
 
Rosalina and Pauline please.

I'm not making fun of you! I just think your avatar fits perfectly with this.


That avatar is part of the reason why I think Peach is lowtier. Like she has this weird "I dunno what's happening" thing going on in the mainline games and smash and it's like they don't push hard enough for it register as snark. Like the ONLY time were I got that she was being actually being snarky instead of actually being dumb was the The smash taunt and the ever annoying "oh did I wiiiiiin" win quote.

I have a hunch that Odyssey may turn things around for her though now that Koizumi is at the helm but we'd have to wait and see.
