Nintendo Technology Development Division,[a] commonly abbreviated as Nintendo TDD, formerly named as Nintendo Platform Technology Development (Nintendo PTD), is the hardware development division within the Japanese video game company Nintendo. The division was created in September 2015 after the merger of Nintendo's Integrated Research & Development and System Development divisions.[1][2]

History

See also: History of Nintendo Integrated Research & Development and History of Nintendo System Development

The Nintendo Technology Development division was created on September 16, 2015, as part of a company-wide organizational restructure that took place under Nintendo's then newly appointed president, Tatsumi Kimishima. The division was created after the merger of two Nintendo's divisions, the Integrated Research & Development (IRD), which specialized in hardware development, and System Development (SDD), which specialized in operating system development and its development environment and network services.[2]

The new division assumed both of its predecessors' roles. Ko Shiota, formerly Deputy General Manager of the IRD division, serves as the General Manager, while Takeshi Shimada, formerly Deputy General Manager of the Software Environment Development Department of the SDD division, serves the same role.[2]

The division was responsible for the development of the company's hybrid game console, the Nintendo Switch.[3]

On April 27, 2017, following the retirement of general manager and long-time Nintendo hardware developer Genyo Takeda, Ko Shiota was appointed as his successor.[4]

On April 13, 2018, Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development general manager Shinya Takahashi revealed that Nintendo was working on a new hardware video game system.[5] On January 16, 2025 the new console was revealed to be called the Nintendo Switch 2, releasing on June 5, 2025.

By 2023, the division's name was shortened to Nintendo Technology Development.[6]
