Nintendo has a history of being unusually tight-lipped about disclosing the names of actors, developers, and directors behind its games until after their official release. This tradition of sorts also includes its upcoming Peach-centric action-adventure romp, Princess Peach: Showtime, which releases on the Nintendo Switch on March 22.
But, after rolling the credits on Princess Peach: Showtime, IGN has confirmed that Goemon designer Etsunobu Ebisu is credited as its producer and director and Good-Feel served as the game's developer.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Ebisu's involvement in Princess Peach: Showtime marks the first time in over 25 years that he's directed a video game. The last game Ebisu directed was 1997's Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the Nintendo 64. Aside from serving as the director for a bulk of the Goemon series, Ebisu also worked as a programmer and game designer for Konami on Castlevania and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness before becoming the CEO of Good-Feel in 2005. Good-Feel was the developer behind Nintendo games like Kirby's Epic Yarn, Yoshi's Wooly World, and Wario Land: Shake It, to name a few.
