Sega R&D #6 was made the eighth research and development lab within Sega following a restructuring around 1988. It was focused on bringing action games and sports games to the Mega Drive which would appeal to both Japanese and American audiences, in response to the console's popularity in the United States.[1] Most notably, it was responsible for the Mega Drive version of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, and its developers would continue to work on its sequels QuackShot and World of Illusion.
As with most internal studios at the time, R&D #8 was not publicly credited for its efforts. The only game to reference "R&D 6" is 1989's Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf. Due to a large number of overlapping developers with confirmed games, other likely games developed by R&D 6 include The Revenge of Shinobi, ESWAT: City Under Siege, Streets of Rage and Pro Yakyuu Super League '91.
