Princess Peach Wii Remote Plus arrives this month

Nintendo has announced plans to release a new Princess Peach-themed Wii Remote later this month.

According to the company, the peripheral will hit stores in late April for $39.99. The design is similar to the previously launched Mario and Luigi Wii Remote Plus models.

The remote will work with all Wii and Wii U games, with Nintendo specifically highlighting its compatibility with the upcoming Mario Kart 8.

Nintendo was also in the news earlier this week, revealing incoming price cuts for a handful of its first-party best sellers.
