Next up, Dennis Kirby
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.
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.
I think he definitely left his EA mark on the company.
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.
Nope. Not at all.
Unsurprising, but still disappointing
His... legal name was Bowser?
Yes
Just wait until you hear what they did to Gary Bowser.
So long, Gary Bowser!
Gary Bowser
...Ah, copy protection circumvention and apparent IP infringement by the parents. Heinous. /s
I hope it's Birdo Toad
Gannon brain-masters? Ridley deedeedee-king? Elizabeth m.¹ dos?
¹full middle name 'Mew'
Welcome to the team John Gannondorf-King-Of-The-Gerudo
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.
Wow he didn't last too long.
I guess Mario or Luigi jumped on his head twice already. Bowser knew the gig was up, and got out while he could
The next CEO:
I'm certain it'll be someone's uncle! Seems everyone has one what works there.
I was hoping the next CEO would be something like Walt Wario or something.
Pritchard will take on the role.
About time! What, did she get stuck in an airduct on the way there?
OK, so which of the Koopalings is next in line? My money’s on Ludwig!
Given my general distain for modern Nintendo, I’d have no qualms in using AI to generate a Succession parody using the Koopa Kids, if only I knew how… 😅
If they want a CEO with some balls, they'd choose Lemmy.
