Good-Feel has been confirmed as the developer of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book just days before the game reaches stores, ending Nintendo's silence on the studio behind it.
The reveal fits a long-running partnership: the Japanese developer has worked closely with Nintendo since 2008's Wario Land: Shake It! and has handled the modern Yoshi series.
Its previous Nintendo projects include Yoshi's Woolly World, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World on 3DS, and Yoshi's Crafted World, with Kirby's Epic Yarn seen as an early template for that style.
The confirmation lands alongside early critical reaction, with one review giving Mysterious Book a 6/10 while praising hidden-creature discovery but criticizing repetitive structure and limited challenge.
