Nintendo is renowned for maintaining an air of mystery around the creative forces behind its games, and the recent release of "Princess Peach: Showtime" is no exception. The title, which launched for the Nintendo Switch on March 22, has finally revealed its developer and director after gamers completed the game. Etsunobu Ebisu of Good-Feel is credited as the producer and director of "Princess Peach: Showtime," marking his first directorial role since 1997's "Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon." Good-Feel, known for titles like "Kirby’s Epic Yarn" and "Yoshi’s Wooly World," developed this latest Nintendo game. Despite the pedigree of Ebisu and the developer, Nintendo chose to withhold this information until after the game's release, continuing their trend of secrecy as seen with the undisclosed Mario voice actor and developers of the "Super Mario RPG" remake.

Who directed "Princess Peach: Showtime" for the Nintendo Switch?

The director of "Princess Peach: Showtime" is Etsunobu Ebisu, who also serves as the producer. Good-Feel was the developer behind the game.

Background Information: "Princess Peach: Showtime" is an action-adventure game with a theatrical theme, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. The game expands on Nintendo's vast array of family-friendly titles and showcases Nintendo's iconic character Princess Peach in a starring role. Etsunobu Ebisu, who directed the 90s classic "Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon," brings a wealth of experience to the game's development. Good-Feel is lauded for creating memorable, aesthetically rich titles that often utilize unique art styles, such as the crafted worlds seen in "Yoshi's Wooly World" and the fabric-centered "Kirby's Epic Yarn." "Princess Peach: Showtime" continues the trend of Nintendo's investment in games that feature lead characters other than the usual protagonist, Mario, offering players new narratives and experiences within the beloved Nintendo universe.
