Nintendo has released a free demo for Princess Peach: Showtime! and in addition to giving us our first hands-on experience with the upcoming adventure, it also appears to contain some important information about Showtime’s as-yet-unreleased developer.
According to the dataminer @LuigiBloodGood-Feel was on the development site for this one, after its development codename was found in the demo files.
Luigiblood states that the codename PJ037 attached to the demo follows the same naming conventions as those found on Yoshi’s Crafted World (PJ033) and Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn (PJ040) — both from Good-Feel.
The data expert further suggests that the numbers on these codes could suggest that Good-Feel has been running on Showtime since 2019, which is between the codenames of the two titles mentioned above.
Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed for now. Based on Nintendo’s previous projects, we’d imagine we’ll have to wait until Princess Peach: Showtime! was released on March 22 before we know the developer for sure. Still, Good-Feel makes a lot of sense.
You can try the game for yourself right now in the new free demo version at Change eShop. And for a reminder of what we thought of Showtime when we started with it last month, be sure to check out our review below.
