Nintendo Research & Development 1 (often abbreviated as Nintendo R&D1) was Nintendo's first internal development team. Its founding actually predates Nintendo's entry in the video game market, it being created in 1970 to focus on the manufacturing of toy guns and other products[1]. It was managed by Gunpei Yokoi for most of its existence.

In 2003, R&D1 and its sister division R&D 2 were phased out as part of a corporate restructuring. Most of the staff were folded into Nintendo EAD or the newly-created Nintendo Software Planning & Development Group #1.
