[Elwiwi]

We won ?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

 

[SliperyHippo]

While I get that it's easy to blame the "EA guy" who's last name is literally the flagship villain of the company he represents for all of the anti-consumerist policies from Nintendo- I think it's actually a trend that predates him and will also outlive his career at Nintendo.

Whatever you think of the guy, you gotta admit that his shirt is pretty cool

What is the point of NOA besides persecuting people. No talent whatsoever in there.

What Jeff said on the title of the forum.

Congratulations to him I guess

 

[TruxtonTatsujin]

jk nothing will change.

I have to imagine the US arm of PR has a workload that's greater than the entire output of other studios. There are surely bad people there, but come now.

 

[CaptainToad]

Yeah, unless you get some new Japanese leadership, nothing is changing. Maybe the new guy will be able to put a tiny amount of pressure on Nintendo Japan to be be a bit more transparent and less-bad, but seems unlikely.

 

[Tonberry]

I wonder who his successor will be.

 

[TruxtonTatsujin]

I wonder who his successor will be.

"He will be succeeded by Devon Pritchard, a nearly a 20-year veteran of the video game industry and long-time Nintendo exec. Most recently, Pritchard served as executive vice president of revenue, marketing and consumer experience at Nintendo of America, overseeing many aspects of the Switch 2 launch this spring. Pritchard will also join the Nintendo of America board of directors and become an executive officer at Japan-based parent company Nintendo."

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking too.

It most definitely will... The Lawyers of Nintendo will only get worse unless they get put in their place by something like the Palworld Lawsuit, until they get a bloody nose on the legal fronts they'll keep this trend going until the joke of them being a law firm that also makes games becomes truth.

 

[WallachiaResident98]

Good riddance.

 

[Zerpina]

I wonder who his successor will be.

Someone named Daisy or Peach, I'm sure. Though it would be absolutely hilarious if the next person to take his place was named Luigi or Mario.

Also about Bowser retiring...
Eh... I honestly didn't know who the guy was till I opened the thread.
I don't keep up with Nintendo or Sega or Microsoft related stuff, for that matter

I genuinely cannot remember seeing him in public outside of his original announcement and one appearance at the opening of Nintendo Land. Guy contributed nothing compared to what Reggie was able to accomplish.

It seems like Nintendo is infamous for filing lawsuits. Like the one they lost with Galoob just because of Game Genie. I just find Nintendo to be too touchy. I've played a weeks worth of Palworld and yeah, it somewhat reminded me of Pokemon but at the same time I saw very few similar things. Even the Pal sphere doesn't really resemble a pokeball other than what it's function is.

Is this real? If so, then YEEEESSSSS!!!!! He has done nothing but deliberately try to destroy Nintendo’s reputation.
