2.1 Software Planning & Development Department.

In September 2015, Nintendo SPD merged with Nintendo's other software development division, Entertainment Analysis & Development (EAD), becoming Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development. Both SPD and SDD departments were divided into four separate groups, which worked concurrently on different projects. The group had the task of independently developing innovative games, assisting other development teams on projects, and managing overseas production of first-party franchises. The division was created during a corporate restructuring in September 2003, with the abolition of the Nintendo R&D1 and Nintendo R&D2 departments. The division had two departments: Software Planning & Development Department, which primarily co-produced games with external developers and Software Development & Design Department, which primarily developed experimental and system software. An excerpt reads: 'In one mini-game, players assume a third-person perspective to fire pellet guns at an oversized tank and passing blimps-the sequence is accompanied by constant projectile fire and realistic explosions.Nintendo Software Planning & Development Division, commonly abbreviated as Nintendo SPD, was a Japanese research, planning and development division housed inside the Nintendo Development Center in Kyoto, Japan.

Notes from the ESRB suggest that Scope Shot is partially responsible for Kirby's Return to Dream LandвЂ™s E10+ rating.

The Battle Clash series also allows the player to charge a shot. Like Scope Shot, these games are comprised entirely of battles against screen-filling robot bosses, with varied attacks, weak points, and many different targets on their bodies that can be destroyed piece by piece.

Scope Shot has strong similarities to Intelligent Systems's Battle Clash video game series on SNES, which utilized the Super Scope.

The sub-game's name, Scope Shot, may be a reference to the SNES Super Scope (Nintendo Scope in Europe and Australia) accessory.

More infrequently, UFO will also appear, giving a greater amount of points when shot. She does not attack, and each time the player can defeat herВ with one shot to receive 800В bonus points. Multiple times perВ stage, Kabula will appearВ in the background.

To counteract this, the robot will move more erratically to try to make its weak spot harder to hit. Once this areaВ is shot once (even with a normal powered shot), the robot will explode. When the robot's health reaches zero,В an orange, glowing weak spot will be revealed. The internal framework cannot be damaged by the Scope Shot, as the shots merely bounce off and make a metallic sound. When sections of a robot's exterior armorВ are hit enough times, they fall apart to reveal the internal framework.В This is largely cosmetic, however, since the robot is only destroyed once its health is completely depleted.

All shots have travel time and do not immediately hit their targets when fired. A charged shot has the same strength as five normal shots. Players can charge their shots by holding down the A button for a brief moment before releasing it. The robots in this sub-game resemble mechanical versions of characters from prior games in the Kirby series. While doing this, the player must shoot down the robot's attacksВ to prevent Kirby and his friends from being stunned. In Scope Shot, the player's objective is to destroy a robot in fewer than 120 seconds by aiming the Wii Remote at the screen and shooting at the vulnerable pieces of its body.
