Nintendo has changed the official artwork forPrincess Peach: Showtime, making the titular character look a lot more expressive.

As VGCreports, the Twitter accountNo Context Super Mariohas spotted that the key art for the upcomingNintendo Switchtitle has been updated to showcase a brand-new look for Princess Peach.

The user compares the two, showing that the new face for Peach in the center has been changed to look more expressive, as well as Kung-Fu Peach, who can be seen in the background looking a lot angrier and ready to kick some butt.

No Context SuperMarioalso noted in thethreadthat this isn’t the case just for the English version of the game - which has officially been updated on theofficial website- as the Japanese website also pictures the same new artwork.

Over on the Nintendo Switchsubreddit, some players are making comparisons toTheSuper Mario Bros.Movie, pointing out that Peach’s new look in the new official key art is awfully similar to her movie counterpart.

It’s hard not to notice the similarities, especially her more animated facial expressions, and some fans are suggesting this is Nintendo’s way of creating synergy between its newer projects.

Whatever the reason, Princess Peach’s new look coincides well with the tone of the game where we’ll finally get to see the longtimeSuperMariocharacter take center stage for her first solo title sinceSuper Princess Peach, which was released in 2005 on theNintendo DS.
