Good-Feel is a Japan+based video game developer that has made games for several Nintendo series, including several Mario-related games and a Kirby title.
History[edit]
Good-Feel was a Japan-based company that was established in 2005 by a group of people who already had experience within the gaming industry and wanted to try working on their own. Their name comes from their idea that games should "feel good". They have a main office in Kobe, while their development activities are based in Tokyo. After their company was established, they contacted Nintendo and expressed their willingness to work together on future games.
While most of Good-Feel's works were entertainment games designed for the DS, Takahiro Harada contacted them shortly afterwards about the possibility of working on a new Wario Land sequel for Nintendo, as he was a fan of Etsunobu Ebisu's work. Ebisu originally conceived the game as a Western-style shooter, but Harada vetoed that in favor of a platform game because that was Good-Feel's area of expertise and also because they wanted a sequel that extended more naturally from the previous games. It was eventually developed and released as Wario Land: Shake It!, with animation companies Production I.G. and Kusanagi helping to develop the game's animated sequences and in-game animations. [1]
After that, Good-Feel worked on a project that started as an original title called Fluff's Epic Yarn as a departure from the action-oriented games that they had previously worked on. As the game was developed, they faced obstacles in keeping the game interesting. In 2009, Nintendo suggested that they add Kirby into the game in place of the already-similar Fluff. HAL Laboratory then aided in the game's development and oversaw Kirby. As the game already had a foundation, it was primarily a process of integrating Kirby into the game and then building from there. The end result was Kirby's Epic Yarn. They later applied a similar style to Yoshi, resulting in Yoshi's Woolly World. Both games would later be ported to the 3DS, as Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn and Poochy & Yoshi'z Wooly World, respectively.
They went on to release several original titles on the Nintendo Switch, as well as Yoshi's Crafted World (more in the vain of a traditional Yoshi game than Woolly World) and Princess Peach: Showtime! (the second ever spin-off for Princess Peach).
