Hal Laboratory
Top 30 Developers of all time. June/July 2013
Tokyo, Japan
between their early work on the MsX to their more well-known
nEs and game boy games (adventures of lolo, Kirby’s
dreaM land), hal laboratory was probably Japan’s best third-
party development studio in the late ’80s to the early ’90s. We
think that nintendo buying hal in 1992 was probably one of
the best decisions they’ve ever made: not only did hal go on
to make eartHbound and super sMasH bros., they also hired
a “genius programmer” straight out of college named satoru
iwata, who would eventually go on to succeed hiroshi yamauchi
as president of nintendo.
