Yoshi's Crafted World Developer Working on Switch Game for 2021
Yoshi's Crafted World landed on Nintendo Switch in spring 2019, offering Switch owners another light, fun Yoshi game to add to their collection. Coming from frequent Nintendo collaborator Good-Feel, Yoshi's Crafted World featured 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 Yarn and Yoshi's Woolly World both came from Good-Feel, which seems to have its formula down, as does Square Enix with their Bravely Default franchise.
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, producing a pair of Yoshi games that rank highly with 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 is No More Heroes 3, which has been delayed to 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 producer Tetsuya Nomura hinted he is working on a new game for 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 the Goemon franchise there should be a lot to like.
An untitled action game from Good Feel is scheduled to launch in 2021 on Nintendo Switch.
