commonly abbreviated as Nintendo SPD, was a Japanese research, planning and development division housed inside the Nintendo Development Center in Kyoto, Japan. The division had two departments: ''Software Planning & Development Department'', which primarily co-produced games with external developers; and ''Software Development & Design Department'', which primarily developed experimental and system software.
