Nintendo Network Service Development (or NSD) was formerly known as Nintendo Special Planning & Development. The development team originates from Nintendo R&D2 and was mainly responsible for ports and inhouse development for low profile hardware like the Pokémon Mini and the Super Famicom Satellaview service. Most of the software developed by this group has remained domestic having hardly ever seen release outside of Japan. The original General Manager, Satoshi Yamato, produced all of the software which included inhouse software for the GBA, and the e-Reader.[1]

Current General Manager, Masaru Shimomura describes the group as a small creative unit that has a hardware and a software team working jointly together to create innovative products.[2]
