Iwasaki Giken

In the chapter about the conflict between Nintendo and Ikegami, Akagi notes that Nintendo had gained enough technical knowledge to proceeed with the complete development of games on their own, with Donkey Kong Jr. being Nintendo's first game entirely developed in-house. But Ikegami sues because they suspect Nintendo of having disassembled the original Donkey Kong in the development of Junior, thereby including code by Ikegami in their new program, which seems to be accepted by both Akagi and the court. But at the end of the chapter, he mentions that the disassembly and redevelopment of Donkey Kong was carried out at Nintendo's subcontractor Iwasaki Giken (岩崎技研工業) in Kyoto. This could be another track to investigate. --Idrougge 16:29, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
