Nintendo EAD

Nintendo EAD was formed from Nintendo R&D4 as well as parts of Nintendo R&D2 and Nintendo R&D3. EAD stands for Entertainment Analysis and Development.

Nintendo EAD was created to be Nintendo's "Dream Team" of developers and focused their attention on the Super Nintendo. They continued their already popular Mario and Zelda franchises while creating the new Star Fox and F-Zero.

This trend continued with the Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube. New franchises created during this era include Pikmin and Animal Crossing.

In 2005, Satoru Iwata decided to merge Nintendo R&D1, Nintendo R&D2, and Nintendo SP&D into EAD. Along with that, Nintendo EAD was divided into Software Development Groups. Currently, no one knows exactly how many Software Development Groups there are.
