Not content with today’s Sony-centric blanket online coverage, Nintendo has cleared its throat in front of Famitsu, to announce a brand new DS title. Joining other cast members from Mario’s extended family (Wario, Luigi etc), Princess Peach is the latest character to get her own touch-screen enabled outing. Alas details are pretty scant on the ground at the moment, without even an indication of when it’s due for release.

What we do know, however, is that Super Princess Peach will be a 2D scrolling action game (featuring Princess Peach). She will also be armed with an umbrella with which to attack oncoming enemies. Putting two and two together, we can comfortably suggest that the player will use the stylus to swipe, stab and control the umbrella.

More DS news will surely follow.

Some might frown upon it but nice to see more 2D games to go with the majority of 3D games the DS is getting.

I wonder if it will be anything like the Penguin's (from Batman Returns) umbrella, gun and helicopter in one?

Well, its not exactly the most innovative idea in the world...

But at least we get to touch a girl.

This sounds like it's going to be pretty sweet.

Now if only Bowser would get his own game. He deserves it.

This game sounds alright and usually Nintendos first party titles are top notch but anything starring Peach just puts me off from the word go.

Ah, c'mon. A game starring Peach is sure to be good. She's a cool character, after all.

Just my opinion. Besides, the game looks cool from what I've seen of it so far.
