Princess Peach: Showtime! is playable on PC emulators. Both Ryubing's list (September 2024, Unreal Engine 4 title) and Citron NEO's list (May 2026) rate it Playable. A comment on the old Ryujinx tracker said frame pacing at 30fps was off, NVIDIA GPUs included, and it only felt smooth at 60fps or higher. On Mac, nxnative (a native port tool, not an emulator) says on its game page that it holds 60fps through the first Swordfighter stage, with saves loading (November 3); no public test reports found yet for iPhone/iPad or Android.
Settings & known issues
- Old Ryujinx comment (Jul 2024): uneven frame pacing at 30fps even on NVIDIA; smooth only at 60fps+
