Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development, commonly abbreviated Nintendo EAD and formerly Nintendo Research & Development No.4 Department, was the largest software development division inside the Japanese video game company Nintendo. It grew out of the earlier Creative Department, a team of designers with art backgrounds, to which Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka originally belonged; both later managed its studios and were credited on every game the division made. EAD was best known for work on the Donkey Kong, Mario, The Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Wii series. After a company restructuring following the death of president Satoru Iwata, it merged with the Software Planning & Development division in September 2015 and became Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development.
