I thought power was Ganon Whiffledorf's department.

 

[donkey show]

A glimpse into the future of Reggie/Bowser meetings.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Doug Bowser the perfect name. Also lolz at the tail spin firing

 

[Gilbals]

Ok.

 

[rpmurphy]

On a related note, reports of random employee kidnapping at Nintendo has jumped 20%.

 

[Neiteio]

Wonder who took over for Doug Bowser at EA

Maybe Burt Ganondorf

If my Ganondorf joke gets sandbagged, I'm audibly sandbagging yours!

[sixteen-bit]

What's in a name

 

[Storm Kyleis]

EA

They sell games before they even work. Must be one hell of a Sales & Marketing team.

 

[LiK]

"Hi, I'd like to speak to Mr. Bowser."

 

[Aostia]

what an incredible coincidence...btw, not a bad pedigree at all.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Put someone from germany on the german FIFA cover...they will love it...

 

[ScriptedReality]

Yo I swear I thought this was a gag topic lol.

 

[Hot Coldman]

"Hi, I'd like to speak to Mr. Bowser."

"Did someone page the king of awesome?"

 

[ramparter]

Nintendo Access: 199$/year. Can play every nes game (up to 10 times per title).

 

[-Horizon-]

EA's unprecedented partnership

And there it is

 

[Drencrom]

This is too perfect

 

[Crayolan]

 

[Falk]

 

[rjc571]

Since he's from EA, I think it's safe to assume he's a stuffy, humorless jerkwad and that he's going to fire every single employee who riffs on his name, starting with the guy who wrote the press release.

 

[DedValve]

Guys, the Bowser in the Mario games may be a bit of a jerk, but he's not EA evil

C'mon now

Idk how many franchises has bowser ruined back at EA?


Maxis ;_;

 

[KingSnake]

It seems to be a very good signing. I hope he knows how to sell good games too.

 

[Gintoki]

2016 will be Year of Bowser

 

[Zero²]

*Bill Trinen gently lowers Iwata to the ground. Iwata is wearing a pink princess dress, and Trinen is dressed like a plumber. Together, they watch Doug Bowser's castle crumble.*

TRINEN: "That guy was crazy. Why'd you hire him?"

IWATA: "Please understand."

TRINEN: "So can I have my job back?"

IWATA: "I'll talk to Weggie."

LOL
Damn with this last name it's just too perfect for him to be working at Nintendo xD

 

[ChaosZeroX]

The fact that his last name is Bowser is awesome lol

 

[Leflus]

Bowser's Inside Man Story.

 

[emb]

Doug Bowser (no relation to the King Koopa and Mario’s longtime nemesis) will oversee a variety of sales-related functions, including Sales, In-store Merchandising, Retail Strategy and Retail Marketing.

Maybe this guy will try to fix the amiibo situation.

 

[Lunar15]

I feel bad for the other guy who applied. Probably had a great resume, just didn't have a last name Nintendo thought was cool.

Cheer up, Robert Falcon. You'll get a job somewhere.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Keep your friends close...etc

 

[Square2015]

I'd like to see his reaction to WiiU NPD data each month

 

[Hot Coldman]

Maybe this guy will try to fix the amiibo situation.

...GWAHARHAR

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I have to assume they saw his name in the pile of resumes and just said "Throw the rest away, we've got a winner".

 

[Ettie]

Dude was a VP at EA with a BA in communications?

 

[Majine]

Was the other guy called Waluigi?

This discrimination needs to stop.

 

[KingSnake]

Maybe this guy will try to fix the amiibo situation.

Bowser, Bowser amiibo everywhere.

 

[SliceSabre]

Neoptism!

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Hopefully if he's ever fired, it'll mean they can spin him around by his ass and throw him out the door.

 

[Illucio]

Who else agrees he only got the job because of his last name? (I'm already expecting a ton of jokes from here on out.)

Actually considering his job at EA I actually think he might do a good job with Nintendo. Nintendo of Japan makes the big big decisions, but America just helps make deals here in America, advertising, and so on. Emphasis on Marketing and Sales. Which is something Nintendo of America was in dire need of as of late.

So now can someone photoshop or make a image of Bowser with glasses on working a desk job?
edit: Someone beat me to it and it's beautiful.

 

[thisisvlad]

Wonder if his inroads with EA will help manage a better relationship with them.

 

[Kriken]

Maybe this guy will try to fix the amiibo situation.

But we have plenty of Bowser amiibo already

 

[Drencrom]

Oh my god, is this from another Pinocchio film?

 

[Waylon Drums]

wouldn't have pegged bowser as a doug

no wonder he goes by his last name

He's obviously a Francis.

 

[Hyperfludd]

Bet he'll get tired of jokes within the first day on the job.

On the bright side, having someone new look over the Nintendo World Store is cool, their events and such have gotten pretty stale and smaller over the years. Hopefully that place will be worth visiting more than a few times for someone living in NY!

 

[BiggNife]

Few people know this was actually foretold in "Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up," a PC educational game that was basically a coloring book explaining common jobs. And yes, it actually exists. http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros._&_Friends:_When_I_Grow_Up

 

[Lijik]

wall to wall Bowser amiibos confirmed

 

[akidnamededdy]

His job is/was marketing related, no? Not too farfetched.

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Any pics of him?
