Its creation coincided with Nintendo's entry into the video games industry, and the original R&D1 was headed by [[Gunpei Yokoi]]. The developer has created several notable Nintendo series such as [[Metroid]], [[Ice Climber]], [[Kid Icarus]], and [[Wario Land series|Wario Land]]. Nintendo R&D1 established a close relationship with hardware developer [[Intelligent Systems]], and initially worked together on a couple of projects. There was previous misconception that Nintendo R&D1 members left to work at Intelligent Systems, but that is false. The development team has gradually been reduced with a couple of senior members retiring or joining other Nintendo affiliated companies like Creatures, most notably Hirokazu Tanaka and Hirofumi Matsuoka. R&D1 developed the hugely successful [[Game Boy line]], which was released in 1989. They developed some of the line's most popular games, such as ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', and created the character of [[Wario]]. [[Team Shikamaru]] was a small club within Nintendo R&D1 that was composed of [[Makoto Kano (video game designer)|Makoto Kano]], [[Yoshio Sakamoto]], and Toru Osawa. The group was responsible for designing characters and coming up with scripts for several games including [[Metroid]], [[Kid Icarus]], [[Famicom Detective Club]], [[Trade & Battle: Card Hero]], and several others. After Yokoi's resignation in 1996, the group was led by Takehiro Izushi. In 2005, [[Satoru Iwata]] restructured the Nintendo R&D1 team. Many of the staff members can be found reassigned to the [[Nintendo SPD]] team.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=GameStats|url=http://www.gamestats.com/objects/640/640501.html|title=Nintendo R&D1|accessdate=2007-03-23}}</ref> == Games developed == ===Arcade=== *[[Computer Othello]] *[[Donkey Kong (video game)|Donkey Kong]] *[[Donkey Kong 3]] *[[Donkey Kong Jr. (arcade game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]] *[[Head On N]] *[[Heli Fire]] *[[Ice Climber|Vs.
