Wow he didn’t last too long.

Good. Reggie was a charismatic leader that pushed against Nintendo Japan to be more consumer friendly. This man did nothing and had zero presence. I wonder what he was even doing there.

Lost_My_Mind,

But his name was Bowser! You know…like the Nintendo character!

Yeah, past the first week of funny headlines I never thought of him again.

Devon Pritchard will take on the role. She currently serves as the Executive Vice President of Revenue, Marketing and Consumer Experience.

Profitability. That’s not reassuring.

inclementimmigrant,

Nope. Not at all.

tahoe,

Unsurprising, but still disappointing

Oh no someone with business and management experience takes on a business management role in a business that runs solely to acquire money. Nintendo‘s pricing policies are already maxed for profitability, anyway.

Good. Bowser knows his jig is up. Let’s see if Pritchard pulls a Reggie sometime soon.

Not likely at all, this restructuring was made to give NCL more control over NoA, Pritchard is there to run the ship, the new CEO of NoA, Story Shibata, is the one you should be looking at.

Never heard of him, but I’d like to research what he’s up to, especially since, based upon what you’re saying… something seems wrong in your eyes. I had some hope, also knowing that likely things would stay the same.

I’m not sure if they’re concerned with Saturo Shibata directly, it’s just that under Reggie, Nintendo of America pushed hard for stuff like free Wii Sports and cheaper prices (which worked great, making the Wii a huge success), while the Nintendo Japan was of the opinion that nothing should ever be given away for free.

Under Bowser, Nintendo of America fell in line behind Japan. Culminating in stuff like the welcome tour for the Nintendo Switch 2, something that is just a tech demo of the device you just spent $400+ on, costing $10.

Having Saturo Shibata as CEO, it seems this will get worse, not better, since Nintendo Japan is excerting more control over NoA.

Point of order: Wii Sports was not free. The price of the game was added to the price of the Wii, but since you couldn't get a Wii without Wii Sports, people just assumed that was the base price.

There really should be another Iwata-type guy, and not Shibita-type, to be fair.

His… legal name was Bowser?

magic_lobster_party,

Yes

Just wait until you hear what they did to Gary Bowser.

Pritchard will take on the role.

About time! What, did she get stuck in an airduct on the way there?

reshuffle6655, (edited ) do games w Doug Bowser Retiring From Nintendo, Successor Announced

Pritchard (bowsers successor) holds a doctorate of law from Gonzaga and a bachelors in biological sciences from Kansas state…Id speculate that Satoru Shibata will do more of the actual management given his continuing role as managing executive officer and corporate director at Nintendo co Ltd, his previous roles as president of Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Australia, and this new position at NOA concurrent with his NCL duties, but it’s really funny if unsurprising to me that Nintendo chose a fucking lawyer as their Chief operations officer.

I guess Mario or Luigi jumped on his head twice already. Bowser knew the gig was up, and got out while he could

Welcome to the club, did that ever since they had diarrhea all over my childhood.

Going private? Sounds good, less pressure from shareholders… Selling to the Saudis? Hell no! Good thing I was already boycotting them anyway

SkyezOpen,

Now introducing face ID tech that will immediately brick the computer if a woman attempts to play a driving game.

supersquirrel,

Sounds like something Stephen Miller would try to implement.

ThinkBeforeYouPost,

You mean totally normal, “sexual matador”, Stephen Miller, whose wife (who is definitely not a foreign agent or beard) said inspires her every morning with his anti-left rants?

MajorasTerribleFate,

I love the one response I saw, “wouldn’t that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?” Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don’t paint Stephen Miller in the lights he’d rather be seen publicly.

PacMan,

Jokes on them I’m already wear a burka over my butthole. My call me brown eye girl

FuckFascism,

criss_cross,

They probably want EA for the sports games so they can keep sports washing their atrocities away.

    The US doesn’t chop up journalists with a saw just yet.

    No it just gives bombs to Israel so it can murder them.

    ChapulinColorado,

    I suppose that’s true. The country is not well liked in Latin America either due to all the meddling they’ve done (which was not properly covered in US history classes).

    Eyck_of_denesle,

    As far as the world knows they bomb the journalists house killing the whole bloodline.
