Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development Division[lower-alpha 1], commonly abbreviated as Nintendo EPD, is the largest division within the Japanese video game company Nintendo. The division focuses on developing and producing video games, mobile apps, and other related entertainment software for the company. EPD was created after a merger of the company's former Entertainment Analysis & Development (EAD) and Software Planning & Development (SPD) divisions in September 2015.
History[]
The division was created on September 16, 2015 after the consolidation of two of Nintendo's former software divisions, Entertainment Analysis & Development (EAD) and Software Planning & Development (SPD), as part of a company-wide organizational restructure that took place under Nintendo's then newly appointed president, Tatsumi Kimishima.[1][2][3]
The division assumed both of its predecessors' roles, focusing on the development of games and software for Nintendo platforms and mobile devices; it also manages and licenses the company's various intellectual properties, alongside producing and supervising development for contracted studios. Shinya Takahashi serves as the general manager of the division, with Katsuya Eguchi, Eiji Aonuma, Hisashi Nogami, and Yoshiaki Koizumi serving as deputy general managers, and Yoshio Sakamoto and Takashi Tezuka acting as executive officers. While the others were in such positions since the division's formation, Aonuma and Nogami were promoted in 2019.[3][4]
