I think everybody is missing the point of Super Princess Peach. It wasn't that she was emotional. She was in CONTROL of her emotions rather than the other way around. That's why everybody else in the game was all screwed up. They had no control.
They should have just waited until next year...they would have had plenty of units, no Wii to try and compete against...too bad they had to bundle blu-ray with it.
