Nintendo European Research & Development (NERD) is a Nintendo subsidiary that develops software technology for Nintendo platforms.
It was founded as Actimagine in March 2003, was renamed Mobiclip in 2008, and was purchased by Nintendo and was renamed Nintendo European Research & Development in October 2011.
History
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 phones. 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.
In 2008, Actimagine was renamed Mobiclip. On October 21, 2008, Mobiclip launched the first application that delivered live television on the iPhone.
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.
