Good-Feel

Japan Founded 2005 Website

Good-Feel Co., Ltd. is a Japanese video game developer. Good-Feel started in Hyogo, Japan in 2005 and opened a production facility in Tokyo in the same year. Their main focus had been educational games for the Nintendo DS, which were released solely in Japan. The games, the first of which was released in 2007, consist of primers for young children (kindergarten and below) and English language training for kids and adults. 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.

Good-Feel at a Glance

Good-Feel is a Japanese studio founded in 2005 that has built a steady presence on PlayPile with ten titles as a developer and two as a publisher. Their catalog spans from 2008 to 2024, showing a clear shift in focus over the last two decades. The company began by creating educational software for the Nintendo DS and DSi, targeting young children and adults in Japan. They only released one game during the 2000s before expanding their operations significantly in the following ten years. The 2010s became the most productive era for Good-Feel, with seven games released during that period. This decade saw them transition from educational software to mainstream console gaming, starting with Wario Land: Shake It! on the Wii in 2008. They have since worked primarily on Nintendo platforms, including four titles for the Wii U and four for the Nintendo Switch. Their portfolio also includes two games on PC and one on the Nintendo 3DS. The studio shows a strong preference for platformers, with seven games in this category, alongside five adventure titles and two puzzle games. Quality trends for Good-Feel appear consistent across their rated works. They hold an average IGDB rating of 76.2 out of 100 based on seven evaluated titles. Their output is mostly solid rather than impressive, with one great title scoring above 80 and six titles falling in the good range between 60 and 79. They have no titles rated as mixed or poor. Their highest-rated game is Bakeru from 2023, which achieved a score of 80.9. Yoshi's Crafted World followed closely with 78.3, while Kirby's Epic Yarn earned 77.7 in 2010. Recent activity shows they are still active, releasing Princess Peach: Showtime! in March 2024 and Bakeru in November 2023. However, their output has slowed compared to the 2010s, with only two games released so far in the 2020s. While their early educational focus was limited to Japan, their later work involves major Nintendo franchises like Yoshi, Kirby, and Wario. Good-Feel delivers reliable entries for platform fans but does not frequently break new ground outside of established IP.
