Head On and Monkey Magic were the only other two original developed video games by Nintendo R&D at this point, but they were both derivative works based on other arcade titles. Most studios start out with derivatives, and then start their own original productions. This was their first fully original title. 2601:8C2:8080:1BC0:3422:9112:76AE:B4EE ( talk) 16:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC) reply
