HAL Laboratory (also known as HAL Labs) is a Japanese subsidiary of Nintendo that was originally formed a small group of friends who shared the desire to create video games, but has now grown to a respectable size. Among the assembly who created HAL Laboratory is Satoru Iwata, the current president of Nintendo of Japan. HAL Laboratory's overall status is similar to Intelligent Systems, in that they are both a branch of Nintendo, and both create video games only for Nintendo. Among their many creations are the Kirby series and Super Smash Bros. series.

HAL Laboratory are not to be confused with HAL Corporation, a company that split apart from HAL Laboratory after a financial crisis. The result was that HAL Laboratory became a branch of Nintendo and HAL Corporation eventually closed in 2002. HAL Corporation worked on various games such as HAL Wrestling and Eggerland for Windows computers.
