Their next collaboration came in the form of ''[[Kirby's Dreamland]]'' in 1992. The game sold well enough that HAL was allowed to develop an NES version, ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. |
Since they had come into some money, HAL decided to expand into a bigger building. Unfortunately, they had overestimated how well their games would sell and soon found themselves with a debt of 5 million yen. With all other choices exhausted, they turned to Nintendo. Nintendo agreed to fund them, on the condition that they develop only for Nintendo. Nintendo also appointed Satoru Iwata president of HAL. His success with HAL would later be a factor in him becoming president of Nintendo. | Since they had come into some money, HAL decided to expand into a bigger building.

Though the game was never finished, elements of it were found int other games they developed, including ''[[Pokemon Snap]]''. |
− | Another | + | Another early game they worked on was a 3D version of ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]''. The game had a playable demo at [[Space World 1995]]. The game eventually became ''[[Kirby's AirRide]]'', which didn't see release until the [[Gamecube]]. |
− | + | Another long delayed project is ''Earthbound 64'' The game in this form was cancelled. In 2000, HAL stopped production on the game, but elements of ''Earthbound 64'' can be found in ''[[Mother 3]]'' for the [[Gameboy Advance]]. | |
− | + | Though HAL didn't develop a lot of games for the Nintendo 64, they did create ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. It is one of the most popular games for the system. They also made the only Kirby game for the Nintendo 64: ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. | |
− | + | Around this time, Warpstar, Inc. was founded. The company is jointly owned by Nintendo and HAL. It handles copyright and merchandising for the Kirby series. | |
+ | |||
+ | During the [[Gamecube]] era, HAL released ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which is currently their bestselling game. Less popular was ''[[Kirby's AirRide]]''. Also in development was ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', but it's doubtful that it will ever be released on the Gamecube. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the [[Gameboy Advance]], HAL released two Kirby games. They also tried to create two other games, but neither of them made. On the hardware side of things, HAL is responsible for the GBA's [[eReader]] accessory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | About this time, [[Kirby]] creator, Masahiro Sakurai left HAL to form his own company, Sora Ltd. Currently, he is working on ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the DS, HAL has made two new Kirby games as well as ''[[Pokemon Ranger]]''. | ||
