Absolutely fantastic series buddy! Not enough people are aware of Nintendo's partnerships.

Thanks, great to hear you enjoyed the video! It took a lot of research and time to make this one, but it was a lot of fun learning so much about Good-Feel and their approach to game development.
I hope you'll keep an eye out for future instalments of this series and other future videos :)

Great video.
Goodfeel is one of those developpers where I don't know what I want them to do next.
Warioland Shake-it was great, and heavens know Warioland/world could use some love as a series.
On the other hand I could also see Epic Yarn becoming like its own series based on Prince fluff, or perhaps even with Prince Fluff crossing over into different series each time.
But then again Wooly Worlds was such an amazing Yoshi game, and the upcoming one seems very promising so far and Yoshi could definitly use having a somewhat "fixed" company to take care of him.
And all that isn't even considering leaving them unchained and letting them make either their first own real IP, or to see their unique take on other series.

Really happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I have to admit, I'm also in two minds as to where I would like to see Good-Feel go in the future. As much as a fan of 2D action platformers as I am, I feel it might be time for them to push themselves with a new type of game. I'd love to see them take on a 3D Platformer, their worlds are already so lush and vibrant that it seems like the next logical step to add another dimension into the mix.
As for which franchise/IP to go with, that's a very difficult question. I think they're doing well with Yoshi currently but I think Wario or Kirby are also well suited to their development ethos.
I'm sure we'll see more of Yoshi at E3 this year and im sure it's release is much sooner than we realise. I think they've had enough time with yoshi for now, I'd love to see them venture out and create their own worlds really

Epic Yarn is my favorite Kirby game even to this day. Nice job!

Yeah, it has such a unique vibe to it that no other Kirby game has matched since I think. I've recently been playing through Star Allies on the Switch and find myself losing motivation to play it which is a feeling I never had with Epic Yarn!

I loved your video! I found it in my recommended and I have to say your analysis of the topics you cover are in extreme depth, however it is easy to follow along. Keep the good work up!

Really happy to hear you have been enjoying the videos! I've been working really hard to provide the most informative but accessible content I can so it's nice to hear you say just that. I plan to continue making new videos every week so be sure to keep an eye out for future ones :)

I’d really like to see Good-Feel get to work with the Donkey Kong franchise. A Corduroy Congo would be awesome.

This is the first episode in a new series I'm making where I explore the newer developers Nintendo has been working with to increase their output for new consoles.
This episode focuses upon Good-Feel: developers of Kirby's epic yarn, WarioLand Shake it (/The shake dimension), Yoshi's Woolly World and the upcoming Yoshi Switch. They therefore have a lot of heritage on the Wii and Wii U line of systems so thought people here might be interested to learn more about them!
I hope you enjoy the video :)
