Yeah, that's them. Though they just released Dragon Quest Monsters 3, not sure if they're big enough to handle two huge projects at once.Wasn't TOSE the original dev on Super Princess Peach?

What? They just made Dragon Quest Monsters 3. The game just released last month.TOSE is not around anymore.
I mean I dont find it any more sexist than something like Style-Savvy and people love that
When I said it was stereotypically girly, I didn’t mean “stereotypically” as a negative, or to say it’s sexist.I mean I dont find it any more sexist than something like Style-Savvy and people love that
Oh, my bad lol. Don't mind me.What? They just made Dragon Quest Monsters 3. The game just released last month.
Having a playable female character is only one element of what I’m talking about. I’m also talking about any time the actual game itself is more stereotypically girly or feminine, then there’s a tendency for those to have lower budgets, more limited scope, and target young children more directly than that all-ages approach a character like Mario gets.
To a lot of these companies, stereotypical girly-girl stuff is strictly for 6-year-olds.
This isn’t just a Nintendo problem, or even just a video game problem. Look at a company like Lego. When they make licensed sets for Batman, there’s a wide range of age groups being targeted. There’s something for everyone, from toys for toddlers to play with on the floor, to collectors’ display pieces with thousands of parts, price tags in the hundreds of dollars, etc.
But for anything overtly feminine, it was largely all relegated to something like the “Friends” line, with simple builds, aimed at the under-10 crowd.
Anything neutral or traditionally masculine could be for any age, but anything traditionally feminine was only for children. It’s only been in recent years that Lego has started to acknowledge that maybe 40-year-old women would like some Disney sets too. Or that maybe some of their adult audience that isn’t female might also still like complex and expensive feminine things, because people don’t fit neatly into boxes.
It’s all related, and it’s something many of us have been frustrated with for decades. It isn’t just about this one Peach game, it’s about a long history of a lot of things. But this Peach game just happens to provide an appropriate space to get into it all.
These are discussions that were also happening last year, around the release of the Barbie movie, and how the numbers it did put a spotlight on a hungry and underserved audience. There are lots of fronts for these discussions to come up, and this is just one of them.
She is voicing Peach.I have no interest in this game but it’s sad that Samantha Kelly seemingly isn’t voicing Peach anymore. New VA sounds like they are bored.
From this same thread:I think your own perception of these games is part of the issue.
Kirby’s Forgotten Land is one of the best new games on Switch.
I wish this Peach game looked anywhere near the level of those other games. Or that a separate Peach game on that level could exist alongside the one we’re getting.Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land are my two favorite Switch exclusives, and they’re catching so many strays in this thread.
My guy, how do you know for certain this is not on that level? And nothing about this game is stereotypical.I wish this Peach game looked anywhere near the level of those other games. Or that a separate Peach game on that level could exist alongside the one we’re getting.
Confirmed where?She is voicing Peach.
Confirmed where?
That doesn’t sound like Samantha to me. Either that’s a very different inflection, or it’s someone else, and i’m inclined to believe the latter judging by how Mario, Luigi, and Daisy all got new VAs recently
This was the source I found regarding this.
That's because it is based on Odyssey.プリンセスピーチ Showtime! : ストーリー | Nintendo Switch | 任天堂
Nintendo Switch『プリンセスピーチ Showtime!』の「ストーリー」のページです。www.nintendo.com
the castle section of the cutscene looks lifted right out of odyssey! lol
Is this because Swordfighter Peach is just Revolutionary Girl Utena?The important thing is that Ninja Peach has joined Swordfighter Peach as a Lesbian Icon.
No, I won't be taking any questions at this time.
I never claimed to be certain of anything. I watched the trailers, and came away with an impression. Same thing everybody else does when they watch game trailers.My guy, how do you know for certain this is not on that level?
Perhaps.Is this because Swordfighter Peach is just Revolutionary Girl Utena?
We always winkirbybros... we... won?
Yes the gameplay section of ninja Peach on the site really showcases some fun diversity and creativity.I will say I do think the website clips do a better job of displaying the outfits and how they will be applied to the scenarios.
For instance you see the following with Ninja Peach:
I'm sure there's other stuff I've missed as well.
- Hiding in the grass to sneak up on an enemy
- Blending in with a wall to sneak on an enemy
- Use a bamboo stick to breathe while walking underwater
- Wall jump
- Parkour against a wall in the background
- Apparently summon and control a massive tidal wave
Again, there’s a difference between their usual hidden grunt work and claiming the whole game for themselves.Oh, my bad lol. Don't mind me.
Edit: Speaking of TOSE, outside of Super Princess Peach, have they worked on any Nintendo related IP since then? Because if not, then I highly doubt it's them.
TOSE works on everything. Well, maybe not everything, but they work on a lot of Japanese games as an uncredited support team. I think we have proof of them lending assistance on several Switch-era Nintendo games, though: porting the Switch version of Breath of the Wild, additional tech work on Splatoon 2, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Famicom Detective Club remakes, the recent WarioWare titles, etc. Whether they'd actually be a lead developer on a Nintendo game again (with Showtime being that game), who knows.Oh, my bad lol. Don't mind me.

Friend of mine really wished for a vampire world, gonna have to be the bad news bear tomorrow. Otherwise good selection, though I thought there were twelve worlds, not just tenUS site gives the clearest look so far at the banners for the remaining world / costume themes.
From left to right they appear to be: Kung-Fu, Ninja, Mermaid, Gentlewoman Thief, Ice Skater, Swordfighter, Patissier, Detective, Cowgirl and Superhero.

Sure, they can codevelop this in their own shadowy way as well. I just wouldn’t expect them to be credited as the main dev. The last game that can be called their own was released in 2008.TOSE works on everything. Well, maybe not everything, but they work on a lot of Japanese games as an uncredited support team.

one of which is probably Kung Fu but the other one is giving top hat to me
Nice! I totally did lolThe top hat is the thief, it's being worn on the poster too (very large, unless you really zoom in you might misinterpret that silhouette).
Man, being able to Arsene Lupin as Peach is gonna be awesome.Gentlewoman Thief
Predominantly pink characters, who are both regularly involved with cake, are natural enemies.I never knew the new rivalry would be Kirby vs Peach
Edit: also, seeing the one you referred to as "mermaid" closer up, it sort of looks like it might be Arabian nights themed outfit to tho
There's like a fez on the head and something like a palm tree towards the top? they look like they have gold coins flying around them as they dance.
really that's the hardest one to make anything of imo
10 different gameplay style might be a bit too many, tbh if it works like a mario game or even Luigi’s mansion 3 where each costume works as it’s own world with multiple levels it could be reaaly good, but with 10 different costumes it might end up kind of shallow, or maybe the game is actually 30 hours long with every costume having a huge macro level.US site gives the clearest look so far at the banners for the remaining world / costume themes.

Sometimes it’s nice to have games designed for a younger audience. My 4 year old absolutely loves the Kirby and Good Feel Yoshi games. This looks like another game he’d love to play as well. There’s plenty of games aimed at older gamers without adding to it with a game about a transforming Princess.
For FDC they got credited because they co-own the copyright of the first game. It was a Nintendo / TOSE co-production back then.TOSE works on everything.
