Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime to Retire: Doug Bowser Named New President | ResetEra

End of an era. His body is ready to rest.

   After more than 15 notable years at Nintendo of America, and nearly 13 as its President and COO, Reggie Fils-Aime will retire. His last day with Nintendo will be April 15. Doug Bowser, NOA's current Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, will then succeed Reggie as President of Nintendo of America.

 "I really appreciate everything Reggie has done for Nintendo," said Shuntaro Furukawa, President of Nintendo Co., Ltd. "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. Doug Bowser and the rest of the team will ensure a seamless transition and continued momentum for Nintendo."  Click to expand...  https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190221005804/en/

Mario is just an intern trying to work his way up to face big boss Bowser.

i never really liked him.   i mean, a hype-man's gotta hype... 

..but he so often pushed ridiculous stances while obviously not genuinely believing them as he was saying them.  spencer has always been better at selling shame as if it were gold.

This account is still dead, but I had to tweet about the retirement of a big gaming industry legend that was just announced. One that was Ready to Kick Ass, Take Names and Revolutionise the industry

End of PS Vita production was officially announced Tuesday. Goodbye, old friend.
