The origins of the company can be traced back to March 1989 with the creation of '''Ape Inc'''. Ape was founded by [[Shigesato Itoi]] with funding and assistance Hiroshi Yamauchi, [[Nintendo]]'s president at the time. Yamauchi was impressed with the skills of Itoi and wanted to support his endeavers. Other key staff members include Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka, who would later become the CEO, and Tsunekazu Ishihara, who would later become the CEO of {{iw|bulbapedia|The Pokémon Company}}. Their first game released was the 1989 adventure RPG ''Mother'' for the Famicom, localized later as ''{{iw|wikibound|EarthBound Beginnings}}''. They also developed two {{iw|wikipedia|Monopoly|board game}} games and several installments in the {{iw|wikipedia|Picross}} franchise. They immediately went to work on a sequel to ''Mother'' called ''Mother 2'', titled ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' outside of Japan. Development became rocky on this title, resulting in Satoru Iwata and [[HAL Laboratory]] stepping in for assistance. The game released in 1994, and the company disbanded immediately after. | ||
