Nnn, I remember convincing my mom to buy me
Super Princess Peach in the 4th or 5th grade when it first came out.
I don't know how to feel about it now. I think it's great that Peach got her own game after so long and that Nintendo subverted the damsel-in-distress trope they always use. But, that said, the mechanics (attacking with emotions--crying, nagging, etc.) and a few other parts of the game had some pretty negative implications. One step forward, two steps back, though it has been ten years now.
This Triforce Heroes situation is a mess, too, and that interview was just
. I think Nintendo is getting better at representing minorities (see the new Fire Emblem), but they still have a ways to go.
