Good-Feel Co., Ltd. (
In 2008, the company became the developer for the Wii game, Wario Land: Shake It!, published by Nintendo, which marked Good-Feel's first entry into the home console market. Since this release Good-Feel has had a close relationship with Nintendo, having developed games starring Nintendo characters such as Kirby, Yoshi, and Princess Peach that released exclusively on Nintendo consoles.
History
[edit]Good-Feel was founded by the former Konami employee, Etsunobu Ebisu, on October 3, 2005. He told Nintendo about the new company and asked if they could work on a game. Long-time Nintendo employee Takahiro Harada asked Ebisu if he would like to make a new Wario Land title, since Harada learned before the meeting that Ebisu was involved in the development of a Nintendo DS platform game he enjoyed very much, and Harada always wanted to make a Wario Land sequel. Though Ebisu suggested a shooting game, he agreed to create a platform game after Harada convinced him. The development resulted in Wario Land: Shake It!, a 2D platform game released in 2008 with hand-drawn graphics made with the help of the animation studios Production I.G and Kusanagi. They later made the 2010 game Kirby's Epic Yarn, a unique entry into the Kirby franchise.
In October 2019, Good-Feel announced Monkey Barrels, their first self-published game and their first game in over a decade to not be published by Nintendo.[3] Monkey Barrels was released in November 2019 for Nintendo Switch. A Microsoft Windows version was released on February 9, 2021.[4]
