Nintendo har allerede leveret sin del af overskrifterne i 2019, men nu har de endnu en stor en af slagsen.
Reggie Fils-Aime, der er præsident af Nintendo Of America, har annonceret, at han trækker sig fra posten, og den 15. april vil være hans sidste dag i jobbet. Præsident af Nintendo Co. Shuntaro Furukawa udtaler om sin meget vellidte amerikanske kollega:
"I really appreciate everything Reggie has done for Nintendo. Inside and outside our company, Reggie is known as an exceptional leader. We are grateful that he is leaving the business in good shape with strong momentum. While we will miss him and we wish him the very best in his retirement, we are also pleased to have such an able successor ready to step into that role".
Men hvem er denne efterfølger så? Ja, det er manden, hvis efternavn tvinger spiljournalister verden over til at lave "sjove" overskrifter, Doug Bowser, der indtil nu har været Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Reggie Fils-Aime udtaler om sin afsked med Nintendo:
"Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever. It's a part that is filled with gratitude - for the incredibly talented people I've worked with, for the opportunity to represent such a wonderful brand, and most of all, to feel like a member of the world's most positive and enduring gamer community. As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humor, this is not 'game over' for me, but instead 'leveling up' to more time with my wife, family and friends."
