Yoshi’s Crafted Worldlanded on Nintendo Switch in spring 2019, offering Switch owners anotherlight, fun Yoshi gameto add to their collection. Coming from frequent Nintendo collaborator Good-Feel,Yoshi’s Crafted Worldfeatured an enchanting art style, and offered couch co-op for friends to dive into. Now, the company has offered up some early details on its next project, a quirky action game set in what looks to be Meiji-era Japan.
Good-Feel was established in 2005 by former Konami employee Etsunobu Ebisu. The company started out by making educational games for the DS, but struck up a working relationship with Nintendo and began producing games with fun aesthetics featuring established Nintendo characters.Kirby’s Epic YarnandYoshi’s Woolly Worldboth came from Good-Feel, which seems to have its formula down, as doesSquare Enix with theirBravely Defaultfranchise.

Good-Feel is producing another game for Nintendo again, but this time around the new title slated for a release in 2021 is an original creation, according to an interview with Famitsu. The action-oriented title bears some similarities to a franchise that Ebisu worked on during his time at Konami,The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. The classic action-adventure series from the 90s was set in a faux-historical Japan and starred Goemon, a spunky blue-haired hero tasked with saving the world. Good-Feel has done well with Nintendo characters, producinga pair ofYoshigames that rank highlywith reviewers, but an original title from the mind that brought the world Goemon is fun to consider.
The Nintendo Switch is gearing up to have an exciting 2021 with a slew of games. A few titles were supposed to launch in 2020, but have been pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One such title isNo More Heroes 3,which has been delayedto ensure the game is polished. Good-Feel will be opening another studio in Osaka to work on this project, so hopefully the extra hands will allow the game to stay on track for 2021.
With the Switch being such a popular console, a number of companies are making games specifically for Nintendo’s hardware. Square Enix producerTetsuya Nomura hinted he is working on a new gamefor the console in a conversation with Nintendo Dream magazine.
While little else is known about the new Good-Feel title (as a magazine scan from Famitsu is all fans have to go on for now), if it’s at all like theGoemonfranchise there should be a lot to like.
An untitled action game from Good-Feel is in development for the Nintendo Switch, set to release in 2021.
