Nintendo EAD Tokyo (Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development Tokyo) is a recently formed video game development studio at Nintendo. EAD Tokyo is headed by Yoshiaki Koizumi and Takao Shimizu and is the first in-house Nintendo development studio to be located outside of the Nintendo headquarters in Kyoto.
Their first release was Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, a platform game in which players control Donkey Kong via a pair of conga drum controllers (a tarukonga). Beating the drums causes DK to move and jump, while the sound of clapping triggers DK to clap his hands and stun enemies.
It has been reported by IGN, that Nintendo EAD Tokyo is developing the newly announced Wii title, Super Mario Galaxy.
The studio is under the guidance of Nintendo's game guru Shigeru Miyamoto.
