R&D 2 was one of Nintendo's original development groups. Headed by engineer Masayuki Uemura, R&D 2 original only made peripherals. After a decade with the company, they began to produce software titles. Their games were not very successful. When the Gameboy Color came out, they were put in charge of porting old games to the system. They continued to port games for the Gameboy Advance.
In 2004, Taniguchi replaced Uemura as the head of R&D 2. With the DS, they resumed creating original titles.
Like R&D 1, R&D 2 was absorbed by Nintendo EAD in 2005.
