      these Activision-published GBC games—X-Men: Mutant Wars and Blade—are widely attributed to HAL Laboratory but HAL outsourced dev't to a short-lived studio of ex-Technos devs called Avit, so these games reek of Double Dragon/Kunio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECG6d24bbmY …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Cvi5Sv8IM …

      The one thing I always found odd is that the HAL credited for those two is referred to as HAL Corporation rather than HAL Laboratory, so one would think it's not the same HAL, but the other games I can find that HAL Corp were involved with were Eggerland titles, so [cont.]

      that makes things a bit confusing, even moreso since said Eggerland titles credit both companies, and neither these nor those GBC titles are on HAL Labs' website, so it's probably just a separate HAL or maybe an offshoot of them. Who knows.pic.twitter.com/x82vIGDT7H

      I did look into it at one point and don't quite remember the conclusion I came to, iirc it was an affiliated company by somebody who'd left HAL Labs & ended up returning once Iwata left for Nintendo, but don't quote me on that

      GDRI Retweeted Master of Puppets Among The Disease

      HAL Corporation was run by the first president of HAL Laboratory, Mikio Ikeda. They seemed more involved with non-game software and peripherals like HAL Labs used to make. https://twitter.com/Arc_Hound/status/1039602651053416454 … Avit is still around, but Avit-Niigata closed a few years ago.

      The late Satoru Iwata (at age 23) with HAL Laboratory's first president Mitsuhiro Ikeda. At the time the company was mainly known for their trackball peripherals. From MSX Magazine #0 (published November 1983), as part of their coverage on software developers. pic.twitter.com/m8f4b7nZPk

      I might also add that AVIT were behind some of the 3DS Kunio-kun games (starting with Kunio-kun Special), even though their website only list games they did up to 2010. Incidentally, Moqeqe Sekimoto (Downtown series's co-creator) was the game designer for those Marvel GBC games.

      Avit-Niigata did the 3DS games.
