Originally a small group of friends who shared the desire to create games, HAL Labs has now grown to a respectable size. Among the small group who created HAL Labs was Satoru Iwata, the current president of Nintendo of Japan. HAL is now similar to Intelligent Systems in that they are a branch of Nintendo and create video games only for Nintendo.
