'''Nintendo European Research & Development (NERD)''' is a Nintendo subsidiary that develops software technology for [[Nintendo]] platforms. 

==Actimagine==
'''Actimagine''' was founded in March [[2003]] in Paris, France by businessman [[Andre Pagnac]] and engineers [[Eric Bécourt]], [[Alexandre Delattre]], [[Laurent Hiriart]], [[Jérôme Larrieu]], and [[Sylvain Quendez]]. 

They developed a video codec named [[Mobiclip]] to address the battery life and technical requirements of the [[Game Boy Advance]] and later was expanded to support the [[Nintendo DS]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Wii]] platforms, as well as on [[mobile phone]]s. As Mobiclip provided high-quality video with low power consumption, it was utilized by many video game developers, phone manufacturers, and film studios.

On October 11, [[2006]], [[Adobe]] acquired Actimagine's [[Flash]] rendering engine optimized for mobile devices. 

==Mobiclip==
In [[2008]], Actimagine was renamed '''Mobiclip'''. On October 21, 2008, Mobiclip launched the first application that delivered live television on the [[iPhone]]. 

==Nintendo European Research & Development==
On February 13, [[2012]], Nintendo acquired Mobiclip and it was renamed Nintendo European Research & Development.

In [[2017]], the United States branch was merged with [[Nintendo Technology Development]].
