History

Intelligent Systems was born from Nintendo's R&D1 project in late 1986, headed by Gunpei Yokoi. Gunpei Yokoi was in charge of Intelligent Systems until 1996, when he left to start his own company. As inventor of the Gameboy and many other Nintendo innovations, Gunpei Yokoi had a strong influence on Intelligent Systems and the platforms for which it developed.
