Princess Peach Showtime: all dresses and how to get them

Princess Peach Showtime largely revolves around the titular character finding and equipping a variety of exciting costumes to earn special powers, but she can also find various new dress styles to equip for purely aesthetic purposes. While some can be purchased at the Lobby Shop right away, some will only be available there after beating bosses — and others will require you to find ribbons throughout your adventure to unlock.

For a company that is mainly focused on family-friendly franchises like Mario, Kirby, and Zelda, Metroid is notably dark for a Nintendo IP. The series began on the NES and has appeared on almost all of Nintendo's consoles since in one form or another. The core series established a new template for games that would eventually inspire a whole new genre -- the Metroidvania. Focused on exploration and acquiring new abilities and weapons to reach new areas of a sprawling map, Metroid has always been a cult hit with fans but never a premier series for Nintendo.

Another difference Metroid has from most Nintendo games is a stronger focus on the story. The first batch of games weren't filled with dialogue or cutscenes, but there was a clear progression and narrative to follow. Once we got to the Prime games, however, story started to play an even greater role.
