Iwasaki Electronics Co., Ltd. (岩崎技研工業株式会社; Iwasaki Giken Kogyo Co., Ltd.; formerly Iwasaki Engineering Co., Ltd.) was a Japanese research & development company known for its early ties to Nintendo.[1] [2] Founded sometime in the 1960s or 70s, Hiroji Iwasaki was the company's president. [3]
Their first contract was to reverse-engineer the code of Donkey Kong following Nintendo's dispute with the game's developer, Ikegami Tsushinki.[4]
Iwasaki later provided programming support for several first-party NES titles including Devil World and Soccer. Former employees of Iwasaki then started Intelligent Systems in 1983, which is a second-party of Nintendo.[5] [6]
Iwasaki was once the parent company of HAL Laboratory.[7]
