Good-Feel is a Japanese video game developer. It developed the Wii game Wario Land: Shake It! released in 2008, the newest title in the Wario Land series released almost seven years after the previous title, Wario Land 4. They also developed the Wii U Yoshi title Yoshi's Woolly World, as well as its Nintendo 3DS port Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.[1]
The company was founded by 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.[2]
Good-Feel developed the StreetPass Mii Plaza mini-game Mii Force (known in PAL regions as StreetPass Squad), which is part of the downloadable content first released on June 18, 2013[3], as well as Slot Car Rivals (StreetPass Slot Racer in PAL regions) and Market Crashers (StreetPass Trader in PAL regions)[4], which were released on September 1, 2016.
They were also involved in developing the Giant Battles for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.[5]
Good-Feel also developed Yoshi's Crafted World, a new entry in the Yoshi franchise for the Nintendo Switch, which released in 2019.[6]
