Last year, Team Ninja took us to China's Three Kingdoms era with Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty for an enjoyable adventure that struggled to stand out in a crowded field of excellent 2023 games. Kung Fu Peach? Swordfighter Peach? I can't wait! - Rakiesha Chase-Jackson, project manager, Member Partnership Rise of the Rōnin, March 22 While I know that this isn't the first time she's led her own game, this feels like the first time Peach is getting the full Mario treatment with fun transformations and powerups unique to her. The date 3/22/24 has been ingrained in my mind since Nintendo shared the trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime! last year. James Mastromarino, NPR Gaming lead and Here & Now producer Princess Peach: Showtime!, March 22 The sequel will need to refine these mechanics to capture a wider audience, but Capcom's been on such a hot streak that I'm optimistic they can pull it off.
