why not hire someone with some experience with the market?
I expect Iwata to get ill from all of the stress. No way can someone work so hard.
This is a great day to join the 3DS masterrace! I found a brand new 3DS XL on craigslist for $125 an hour ago! Hopefully, Iwata tries to bring some of dem NOE deals over here.
This is either the best move or the worst move.
Also people expecting him to resign must be furious.
Iwata: Resign as CEO? How about I become CEO of NoA in addition? (laughs)
Nope but something happened and now NoE is awesome, so keep him.Did anyone even know who he was before Nintendo Directs started?
Yea well with Iwata at ceo doesnt it seem more likely that there will be less constraints? This is the good news I believe
Iwata is going to take on a whole long list of jobs that it'll take half of Nintendo's E3 conference just rattle them off when they invite him on to the stage.
where before kimishima oversaw every decision and reported it to iwata.

who else could qualify? they hire another pepsi exec? they got two products to sell. NoA doesn't need complicated leadership. they don't need someone big with their name on the line trying to shake things up. they don't need anyone who can be outside hired mid-management.
i think his first move should be to buy monster games and rename them ead northfield. then he should close retro, buy canada, and rename next-level games retro studios (he could do it because he'd own canada).
Dunno, maybe someone like Jason Rubin or a Mark Cerney kinda guy? at least someone who is willing to live in North America. I really don't understand the thinking here. shrug.
Edit, it will probably save them some money though, maybe thats it.
Maybe it'll mean NoA stops sucking so much.
Maybe.

One of the VPs here in RWC moved on to Redmond. There's been a bit of shuffling going on, though none of it terribly useful imo. The problem with NOA isn't upper management, it's the middle management.

Um, no that's really not accurate. You're telling me that the problem is with Dan Adelman and Bill Trinen?
Lets not be silly here.
Sounds to me like Kimishima was doing NoA no favors, but he was good at certain things, so they threw him at the corporate admin department at NCL to save face and keep him at Nintendo.
As I understand it, the CEO does strategy planning and policy while a COO handles the day-to-day and reports to the CEO.
So with all this in mind, doesn't this mean they shuffled out Reggie's superior.
Starting to look more and more like this Kimishima fellow holds equal blame as to the state of NoA.
Maybe it'll mean NoA stops sucking so much.
Maybe.
I think you are wrong..NoA consists of 6 people in a treehouse. And Reggie ate all the Pizza. Again. Classic Reggie.There is more to NOA than simply Treehouse.
