Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development Division,[a] 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 merging their 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.[2][3][4]

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 external studios. Shinya Takahashi, former general manager of Nintendo SPD,[5] serves as the general manager of the division, with Yoshiaki Koizumi, Katsuya Eguchi, Eiji Aonuma, and Hisashi Nogami serving as deputy general managers, and, Kensuke Tanabe, Yoshio Sakamoto and Takashi Tezuka acting as senior officers. While the others were in such positions since the division's formation, Aonuma, Tanabe and Nogami were promoted into higher positions within the division in 2019.[4][6] By 2023, Takayuki Shimamura was named deputy general manager while Aonuma had been promoted to senior officer.[7][8]

Structure

The division works similarly to its two predecessors before the merger and is divided in many groups. It has ten production groups responsible for development or production of games, each of them having their own managers, producers, project leads and overall staff working on specific series and focus, while in the overall division, the general manager, deputy general managers and senior officers oversee different aspects in those production groups in general. The known groups in the department so far are:
