We worked until midnight or later every night, and that group of friends is what became the company known as HAL today." It was this enthusiast passion that allowed HAL to grow from a basement club to the bastion of quality family gaming that it is today.Īlthough the company was made up of hardcore enthusiasts, it wasn't video games that HAL first developed. As Iwata recalls in an interview, "We became friends, formed a club, and soon rented an apartment in the Akihabara district of Tokyo where we began designing our own games. The company was originally started by a department store manager and a group of enthusiast employees, now-famous industry icons Satoru Iwata and Masahito Tanimura among them. Satoru Iwata, former president of Nintendo and ex-HAL employee Their name is a reference to the HAL 9000 computer in from the famous science fiction novel (and film) 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I haven’t really felt like I’ve been doing anything right lately, and I thought if maybe I can at least win one….” I guess I just wanted to have confidence in myself. It’s not even my real wish, that was just, well, wishful thinking.” “B-but you don’t have to worry about my 'wish’. ![]() I, ahh, didn’t think anybody would be listening…” Now he felt bad for accidentally dragging someone else down with him. Then again, how else did he find out his 'wish’, anyways?

Again!” Oof.
