Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development

Jump to: navigation, search

Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development (or EAD; formerly Research & Development Team 4) is the largest division inside Nintendo. Famed developers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka serve as heads of the EAD studios and are credited in each game released from EAD, with varying degrees of involvement. EAD is best-known for its work on games in the Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin, Star Fox and F-Zero franchises.

In 1997, Miyamoto explained that twenty to thirty employees were devoted to each EAD title during the course of its development.[1] He also disclosed the existence of a programming group within the division called SRD, a group of about two-hundred employees with proficiency in hardware development.[1]

In 2004 Nintendo underwent a corporate restructuring, in which Nintendo Research & Development 1 and Nintendo Research & Development 2 were merged under the EAD banner.[2] Nintendo EAD is itself split into five separate teams who work concurrently on different projects. [3]
