The princess takes a break from being kidnapped to engage in more wanton brawling.
Princess Peach has been confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
This is the third time Peach has appeared in Nintendo's crossover fighting series, having featured in the character rosters for Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl. Screenshots posted on the official Smash Bros. website indicate that she will use many of the attacks she had in previous games, including her Toad counter-shield.
She joins a roster of 15 confirmed characters, which includes newcomers Mega Man, the Villager from Animal Crossing and the Wii Fit Trainer.
