Doug Bowser is leaving Nintendo at the end of the year, next NoA president is Devon Pritchardhttps://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250925384737/en/Doug-Bowser-Bids-Farewell-to-the-Mushroom-Kingdom
So long.
>>721666053GOOD
so long gay bowser
>>721666053So long, gay Bowser.
>>721666106Gay Bowser
What do Nintendo presidents even do, Japanese or American? Seems like they're just glorified marketing leads with no particular expertise or knowledge of the market.
>>721666053What did this nigga even do?
at least american runs nintendo of americasega has zero trust in america that the head guy is japanese plant
>>721666053>switch 2 was such a disaster they’re kicking bowser outGoodbye and good riddance!

>>721666252>>721666259CEOs are there to increase shareholder value. They sign off on other people's ideas, and if enough of those fail to meet expectations the CEO gets replaced with someone else.They produce no actual value, and are essentially human parasites.
>>721666365She appears in the credits of both Punch-Out Wii and Metroid Prime Remastered, both as "special thanks".
>>721666252>>721666259Pretty much just lead of operations stateside, otherwise he has little to no impact on anything else like the actual games. Save for shit like the poor handling the negative press with the switch 2 it’s funny how everyone’s quick to blame him when he likely has nothing to do with what’s going on
>>721666365Mommy's here to save gaming
>>721666259he was named bowser
On this topic and since it’s mentioned in the article, why are Nintendo’s press releases password locked? https://press.nintendo.com/How do you get an in to obtain press material? Where is the press material even used?
>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464Switch 2 confirmed for Wii U 2.0. Pack it up, boys.
>>721666365why does she look like she wants to rape and then eat me
>>721666365It's over.
>>721666259He Doug'd.
>>721666442Where have you been the last two years?

>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464>went to law school>doesn't practice law
>>721666365its so fucking over
Bowser's reign is ending...
>>721666850Miyamoto is an industrial engineer.
>>721666365>>721666403gummy-ass smile. pass on this biatch at least the old fogie was named BOWSER. no one gonna be as good as reggie thofukkin nintendo playin it safe is boring shite.
>>721666850She probably failed the BAR
>>721666053Not the only change either. Who is Satoru Shibata?
>>721666365Gums McGillicuddy over here
>>721666914He engineered some great games in the industry.
>>721666559You left the thread where you got caught lying earlier today, no balls
>>721666954Former president of Nintendo of Europe, during the Wii/Wii U days.
>>721666914He's also a chink bastard who sucks at video games. Coincidence?What the fuck even is an industrial engineer? Does he engineer entire industries? I thought you had to be Jewish to do that.
>>721666259This particular guy? Nothing at all except assume the position to the penny pinching Jap execs. A big reason Reggie even was able to do anything was not just because he fielded ideas, but because Iwata was at the helm at the time and actually wanted to do shit with the company. You can bet your ass we'll never see shit like that again.
>>721666365Why does Nintendo want to lose? There is literally no competition anymore and they are actively trying to find a way to lose somehow.
>>721666853>its so fucking overNa the japs will further put this bitch on a leash
>>721666365I thought Devon was a boys name
>>721666053>pritchard
>>721666954Oh so it's not the woman who will be the CEO, instead it's the guy that got us Xenoblade. Good
>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464
>>721667004Did Japan send him to NoA to keep a tight leash on them?
>>721666365>/v/ acting like it's the end of the world and we'll get more censored games or bad localizations when we had EXACTLY that during Reggie's era, as well as Kimishima's
>>721666053I know the switch 2 didn‘t have the impact they‘d have hoped for but i didn‘t think it would flop like this..
It’s Literally Over for Nintendo
>>721666986Not him but it’s clear he’s right. Look at xenoblade 3’s censorship.
can furukawa retire and be replaced next? worst nintendo president of all time
>>721667214Who knows, but he's fluent in English and used to running western branches so it's a safe pick.
>>721666053GUYS THE SWITCH 2 IS DOING ABSOLUTELY FINE BEHIND THE SCENES SHUT UP YOU DICK MUNCHERS

>>721666986I too can vague post.
>>721666365>>721666403same energy
i thought that last name was pitchford for a minute but its not false alarm
>>721666954>Shibata has appeared at several presentations including the Nintendo Show, the Nintendo DS event in Paris, the Nintendo of Europe Wii event in September 2006, the European Nintendo 3DS press conference in Amsterdam in January 2011, and at Gamescom 2011. He has also promoted several games through interaction with celebrities, such as playing Wii Sports tennis with Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski, and singing "Call Me Maybe" for Carly Rae Jepsen. He has also gained attention for various other actions, including a fashion show for New Style Boutique and cosplaying as Phoenix Wright.
>>721666252>What do Nintendo presidents even doLiterally just a face.
>>721666053Nintendo is going to be fucking retards no matter whos in charge of the American branch. I dont see why you guys care
>>721666365FUCK GO BACK
so what's the over/under on Furukawa's remaining tenure
>>721667420he seems fucking based
>>721667228It’s going from bad to even worse. I’d say that’s worthy of the response
>>721667256>longtime nintendo executive>2021damn geoff
>>721667356NoE was way better than NoA in the Wii era, they localized and published Xenoblade, The Last Story Pandora's Tower, Disaster Day of Crisis, Project Zero 2 Wii Edition... NoA didn't want to touch any of those with a ten-foot pole, only gave Xenoblade a limited release after a big outcry.
>>721667447until he retires/dies
>>721667256I thought it was but not anymore >>721666954
>>721667424>J-just look the other way, it's always been bad!Not fooling anyone.
Trust women.
>>721666365kek nintendo is going to go from bad to worseits fucking over for this dog shit company
>>721667447What does a branch puppet stepping down have to do with the president of the company
>>721667292>Xenoblade 3 censorshipYou faggots have been saying this shit for 3 years now and all its ever amounted to is “there aren’t as many designs that look like Pyra and Mythra” (when that could be applied to every other entry in the Xeno series).Fuck off
>>721667420>>721667480He was at the Milan Games Week in 2015, some friends and I had our new copies of Triforce Heroes (not the greatest game, but that's what they were putting out at the time) signed by him.
>>721667638>>721666954
>>721666365>>721666403>>721667362Isn't it interesting how so many successful people don't tend to smile with their eyes? Really makes you think
>>721667004Oh, so the guy who oversaw the Wii getting Xenoblade, the Last Story and Pandora's Tower without needing to make the Operation Rainfall thing. Also the one who oversaw the Wii getting Disaster Day of Crisis. Actually not bad.Does this mean Devon basically does fuck all then? She's President of NOA, but what would that entail?
>>721667319>Bowser abruptly quitting right before they get their numbers in for Q3
>>721666053>>721666365>>721667145Meet your new NoA CEO, the assigned Nipponese tard wrangler

>>721666403bitch has dolphin teeth
>>721666053What did this dude even do?
What kind of name is "Doug", anyway? It looks and sounds so fucking stupid(Captcha: VTD0G)
>>721667658We went from “there aren’t as many designs that look like Pyra and Mythra” to “there are NO designs that look like Pyra and Mythra.” It absolutely was censored
>>721666053Feels like he hasn't even been in power that long.
>>721667801>he doesn't Doug
>>721667712It means NOA fucked up big time, Nintendo Japan probably got the memo back in 2024 what Doug was doing blocking games and now they're watching over NOA themselves. Commies truly are a problem here.
DOUG WALKER IS LEAVING NINTENDO??
>>721667319>>721667741>THE CONSOLE ISN'T DOING WELL BELIEVE MEsure thing anon
>>721667768NOA basically just exists for localization and marketing. They don’t do a whole lot.I don’t even think they have much influence over Next Level or Retro
>>721667801well what's YOUR name nerd
>>721667745Damn. I remember watching European Directs with him. He got old
>>721667712"We're totally a diverse company, look the president is a woman!"That's what Devon is for. Shibata is actually the one calling the shots.
>>721666954lol of course everyone is going to ignore this post
>>721667631Of course she has the time to do this shit. There's no actual products to manage at Xbox.
>>721667356That guy was smart enough to bring Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandora's Tower to EU while Reggie thought that these games were not worth it. Mutts on /v/ BEGGED for him to release that shit in the US.
>>721667885Reggie is the reason we started getting dragon quest localized again
>>721666365
>>721666365That face is giving me "the force is female" energy
>>721667913Well, at least he's still alive unlike his almost-namesake.
>>721666053Thank fucking god, so long gay bowser. Furukawa next hopefully. Now, who is he getting replaced wit->>721666365It's over. Unless she gives me a job at NoA :^)
>Cries about Bowser for months>Bowser steps down>Cries about Bowser stepping downMentally illness
>>721667658LmaoI’m never going to stop talking about the factual censorship. Die mad lefty faggot.
>>721667745>>721667420This might actually be a good move. This is the ray of light in the darkness. Imagine if Devon was going to be President and CEO.
>>721667952People have literally been remarking about Shibita and how he facilitated weeb games coming out in Europe during the Wii, asshole.
>>721667897>t. Doug
>>721667874They shot down his idea to license Mario credit cards.
>>721667228Something like webm related would have NEVER gotten by under Reggie.
>>721666053I read Pritchard as Pitchford and my heart skipped a beat
>>721668149A Mario... CREDIT CARD???
>>721667824kek it wasn't censored, it's just XC3 was trying to be more of a serious war story, for better or worse, and the designs reflected that. the characters have literally zero sex drive due to the setting and i'm not even sure if you actually know the setting and back story since most of the people complaining about this tend to have not even played the game. not to mention fanservice still fucking exists in the game
>>721668032I don't see anyone upset about Bowser stepping down. I only see people hoping he was fired and "retire" is just what they're calling it for PR.
>>721668192Lol at people acting like Reggie was their friend when he almost blocked Xenoblade from releasing in America
>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464It's so over it never even began.
>>721666365The plushie looks like it's screaming for his life lmfao
>>721666365dei hire incoming
>>721666365>woman>with psycho eyesit's even more over
>>721668234>It wasn't censored, there was a LORE reason for—Not reading further, you disingenuous freak. For
>>721667884Who knows how well its doing but a President leaving this early (even if he was kind of old) is not a great sign.
>>721668237>people hoping he was firedHe never did anything, so I don't know what this changes. NoA has zero input on Nintendo's operations
>>721666954Nevermind we're relatively back.
>>721667745He already looks so done with her shit
>>721666053>Doug "EA(((kike)))" Bowser is going to be fucking gone from NoAABOUT FUCKING TIME. He was such a shit choice to lead the American branch of Nintendo. Good riddance to that faggot.
>>721667824XB3 literally has bikini outfits when 2's swimsuits are all one pieces. XB1 and XBX had bikini outfits, so why is XB2 so censored?
>>721666910He had no real power anyway.That slimy fuck Furukawa is the source of all of Nintendo's problems in recent years. Just what you'd expect from a former chair of The Pokemon Company.
>>721666252Reggie convinced the nips to sell the consoles with at least one game.
>>721666053>marketing guy as the next NoA presidentIt's gonna be somehow more soulless than this bald fuck
>>721667086>competitionNo one buys their big new release for Switch. You understand? It will always be for PC or whatever their most powerful console is. The Switch will always be weak.Nintendo has always and will always be a companion system for their first-party titles and in the Switch's case, bringing poorly-performing games on the go.
>people acting as if this lady is a new hire when she’s been at the company since 2006I don’t understand why you guys are freaking out. Doug was brought in from fucking EA and there was way less doomposting
It's fine everyone. While she will be President, Satoru Shibata will be CEO of NoA. I quite liked him as President of NoE, and I think he has his heart in the right place. Happy Gaming.
>>721668385>Had a stroke trying to cope
>>721668297>>721666954
>>721668471He knows he's going to have a metric shit ton of cunt wrangling in store as soon as he reads his first email as NoA CEO.
>>721668535I hope he's the one that represents NOA if the ever gets back in the Directs again. It would be horrible looking at Devon.
>>721666365>>721666403Check out her social media, Nintendo has made a horrible mistake picking this chick I wonder is this is because of that sexual harassment claim against Bowser, It never went anywhere and the alleged victim refuses to speak to the press
>>721668517my man the switch sold 150 million units and almost two billion in software. nobody cares about power
>>721667256I like how it looks like Bowser died
>>721667824You can outfit your party to look like cheap whores in X DE and make Cross look like Pyra and Mythra albeit
>>721668689no need to worry, she's ranked below Shibata
>>721666053Looking back, this whole picture situation was so cringe. Reeks so hard of trying to ape the charisma Reggie naturally had by the play on name and tying the bros up. And everybody here and on Reddit being like "oh noooo look out!" and playing into it, trying to hype him up as the next charisma guy. And then nothing, he's just a soulless suit with zero personality. Utter corpo worship cringe.
>>721666053Good riddance, faggot.
>>721668519>>people acting as if this captain is a new hire when he's been head of security for 5 years
>>721668689>>721666954
>>721667712NoA is pretty much just a publishing, localization and marketing arm. Probably also the ones making deals with western third parties.Could mean translations get even more pozzed. And some games might get bigger or smaller marketing budgets.
>>721668762Yeah I love Reggie's charaisma of blocking anything too Japanese from release in America
>>721667952We know Xbots and Snoys are going to ignore this the same way they keep calling Deadlock woke despite Valve dropping SBI reworking the game from the ground up to get rid of the inclusivity.
Nintendo already has a lifetime ban from my money after the Yuzu takedown.
>>721668785I have no fucking idea who you’re referring to
>>721668413It was the fastest-selling console ever in the US during its launch month. Do you think they'd sack the president less than three months later when all signs indicate the Switch 2 is still doing well and despite Reggie holding on throughout the entire Wii U era?
Could be worse, could be that Cammie lady from the Wii days
>>721667606>Fuck-You-Kawa>Thanking a faggot for something he never fucking didFurukawa next, for Christ's sakes, PLEASE. the man is obviously an EUkike that was the former chair of Pokémon.
>>721668234
>>721666365>WomanIt's fucking over, I'm already missing bowser
>>721666365Ew.>>721667745Wait, is this our guy, /v/?
>>721667339>OH NOOO A WHITE PERSON SMILING!! IT'S SO LE SINISTER AND EBIIIL!!! This is what decades of Hollywood propaganda does to people
>>721668762>Reeks so hard of trying to ape the charisma Reggie naturally had by the play on name and tying the bros upI agree with this. I didn't think Reggie was perfect, but he definitively had charisma. Bowser has been nothing but a downgrade in every aspect compared to Reggie in my view.
>>721668604They haven't done separate Directs in over ten years. It's still going to be Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi for everyone as always.
I miss Reggie and Iwata bros
>>721668831you never bought their products anyway tranny, why would they care about you?
>>721668413it's not a sign of anything yet really, at least not with the information we have
>>721669046Even if there were problems, Nintendo still felt like Nintendo then. Now it feels soulless.
>>721666365These replies are really embarrassing.
>>721666365Pikmin 5, with a better logo
>>721669046Iwata was too good for this world
>>721666365we're never going to beat the allegations of pikmin being a forced executive's pet franchise, are we :(
>>721669136Tendies on cope control
>>721668832The captain of the Costa Concordia when it crashed in 2012 (the biggest maritime disaster since the Titanic).
>>721668707What are you a shareholder? Sales are irrelevant to the quality of the system.A gamer would care about how well a system plays games, and the Switch will always be the worst choice for that.
>>721667026Fuck me I miss Iwata so much man.
test
>>721669212Irrelevant. What matters is that it keeps getting games.
>>721669161Fellating Wii U because you are mad Switch 2 didn't fail is probably the most pathetic thing I've seen
>>721666313>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464Give it to me straight how much of a greedy jew she is? Did she worked for EA like Bowser?
>>721669046>I miss the guy who constantly blocked random games from releasing in the US and had the worst cases of censorship Nintendo has ever done, and the guy who shit out constant soulless new super mario bros releases and forced developers to lock content behind AmiibosLets please stop Iwata-era revisionism.
>>721666365What the flying fuck am I looking at
>>721669260the games in question:
>>721669046I do too anon.
>>721669334WHAT REVISIONISM? I JUST ENJOYED THEM PRESENTING AND CONNECTING WITH PLAYERS FOR FUCK SAKE
>>721668073Compare the (you's) to these posts >>721666365 >>721666403 to this >>721666954 faggot
>>721669230I think the head of security getting promoted to captain after 5 years is a little bit different from a businesswoman working her way to CEO (within the same company) over the course of 19
>>721669161>Even if there were problemsUnderstatement of the century. If this was the Wii U launch, we'd be going on four months with no exclusives since two shitty ones at launch and we'd still be waiting five more months until the first few. I don't want to go back to that and I don't care if the executives back then were better at pretending to be your friend.
>>721666053He was infuriated that Nintendo was going to do nothing about the Department of Homeland Security using the Pokemon Theme without their permission to promote deporting illegal immigrants. https://x.com/DHSgov/status/1970251208322621530Because of that, he quit.
>>721669421so you're just whining that you didn't get the (You)s you wanted.
>>721667026Yeah, I remember what Reggie did: gratuitous censorship and refusing to bring Xenoblade to the west. Those were the times...
>>721669213anon as things are going the switch 2 is the fastest selling console on the country and already the best selling console of the year there. when the wii-u was absolutely tanking they don't remove the president. why would they in this case?
>>721669480She's not the CEO.
>>721669238>and the Switch will always be the worst choice for that.and yet it outsold other almost every other system ever. the point here is to show how nobody really cares about what you're talking about
>>721669046Let's not pretend Iwata and Reggie's era was the golden age. Sure, the Wii was a success, we got Uprising and better deals like Nintendo Selects or free games with MK8 but let's not forget Treehouse post 2012, Wii U's 2015 - 2016 drought and Operation Rainfall happened through their era.
>>721669529Maybe software sales are shit because people aren’t gonna spend $80 on a fucking Kirby game. Outside of you cultists I mean.
>>721668497Marketing is practically all NOA does.
>>721669319>>721666954
>>721669319>Bowser did absolutely nothing the entire time he was the president of NoA>What a fucking EA jew he was!
>>721669606President, whatever, point stands
>>721666252Reginald did a lot to keep good Japanese Wii and DS games from coming out in the West. Other than that, who knows?
>>721669334This, I honestly dropped Nintendo when these two took over, I came back with the Switch when it was clear that Reggie's power was weighing and Iwata was on his death bed. Reggie was just a good marketing guy.
*sees Switch 2 sales for current quarter**compares them to the previous quarter*>Actually, right now is the perfect time for me to retire>Yes, the head of NoA, who oversaw the super successful Switch 2 launch, really should retire right now!
>>721668481>That slimy fuck Furukawa is the source of all of Nintendo's problems in recent years.God, I fucking HOPE he's next on the fucking chopping block. He's a Pokéfag and a former EUkike bean-counter.
>>721668826>reworking the game from the ground up to get rid of the inclusivity.why are you lying like this?
>>721669689Kirby isn't $80. Why can't you even stop yourself for 1 single second from lying?
>>721668859Yeah, during its launch month. We're well past that point and we know July was down 75% from that month. We don't know the August data but seeing as the system had been readily available and that its really popular to hate on Nintendo now, August and September could be really bad months. A president of Nintendo's biggest market leaving before the new console is even 6 months old is a red flag, at a minimum
>>721669787I guess outselling the competition year to date in 2 months wasn't good enough
>>721669787He oversaw nothing. He had no influence in the company
>>721669503Not even my post just showing you how retards here will happily slurp misinformation like a bukkake jav actress
>>721669514tfw no Disaster Day of Crisis
>>721669787>b-b-but muh 6 gorillion
>>721666365How over is it?
>>721666053Good, he can get fucked. He hasn't done a single good thing for them.
>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464It's so over.>>721666954>>721667745We're so back, bros.Phew, something almost happened.
>>721667314>that imageIt's always struck me as wild that the two presidents of Nintendo were both named Satoru and shared such a similar family name as well. Not to mention Doug Bowser, how's that not questioned more? It's too cartoonishly apt, it's just not normal. Some strange Onmyō naming magick fuckery going on over there in that Kyōto building...
>>721669828What lie, characters were ugly at first now it has semon demons
>>721669875>July was down 75% from that monthlol what? Surely you have a source for that. Also a CEO leaving right after overseeing a new product launch is indeed the perfect time if he was already planning to and said launch went smoothly.
>>721666365>>721666403Soulless kike smile
>>721666053I bet NoA and part of NoJ must be on fire behind closed doors if they're making Bowser's retirement public in spite of Switch 2 sales.
>>721669952He was credited for the launch advertising campaign for the Switch 1
>>721669689if that was the case you'd see Furukawa being chopped, not bowser
>>721666365>>721666403>nintendo's new american ceo looks like an autisticits like pottery
>>7216698756 million (fastest of all time) is for June and July. 2 months.If you can't even count to 2 I don't think there's much to discuss.

>>721670108Not the CEO.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/devon-pritchard-a970a21aaIT'S OVERFEMALES ARE DUMB & USELESS
>>721669875>>721669930
>>721669859https://a.co/d/3f9JK0uMy bad, I forgot how literal you tendies are when it comes to defending your friends. $79
>>721666053What did he even do?
>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464deleting my nintendo account as I type this holy shit
>>721670203same shit
>>721670342have a funny name and pop out of nowhere to defend scummy practices once or twice a year
>>721666252NoA presidents are all marketing exes, NoA is just a glorified marketing branch.Real power is in their Japanese office.
>>721666365>>721666403It's so fucking over...
>>721669662It doesn't matter how much it sells.It's worse for playing games.It's like comparing a Honda to a Bentley. Yes, Honda sells more. But which would you rather drive?
>>721666053Sayanora, your wretchedfulness.>>721666954Sony has a co-CEO chair too. Why is this becoming the norm?>>721666716You're a bitch.
>tendies simultaneously claiming that Bowser's departure from NoA means nothing while Shibata taking over as CEO is also going to be good
>le epic reactions>pseuds pretending they know how businesses work>faggots thinking anything ever happensYep, it's an engagement farming thread.Poor broke Hiro :(
>>721670447In his defense he pulled a Don Mattrick but tendies flocked to defend their friends. Twice in fact. Two separate executives pulled a Mattrick. They aren’t cultists btw.
>>721670057>Surely you have a source for that.You can look up Circana's data on the US but it sold 1.6 million in June and reached 2 million in July (just barely made it). So if you do the math, that's 400K or 75% drop. Keep in mind, 1.1 million of that was just the launch so that should tell you how front loaded this thing was. >Also a CEO leaving right after overseeing a new product launch is indeed the perfect time if he was already planning to and said launch went smoothly.Reggie left more than two years after the Switch launched. He also left on April 15th where Doug is leaving on a Quarter end (actually the next quarter end after the 30th of this month). It sounds more like a decision from on high. For reference, Jim Ryan of PlayStation left on a quarter end too and many people seem to think it was related to the Activision Blizzard merger and his live service push that wasn't going well.
>>721670663>Why is this becoming the norm?Tard wranglers is my guess.
>>721670685Considering Shibata is the one guy who actually listened to fans and brought over the project rainfall games, yes Shibata is an improvement.
>>721670270Im so glad the Switch 2 can outsell a 5 year old system in its 2nd month on the market. What a successful system
>>721670864An improvement to what? I thought everything is just dandy with Bowser! ...you see what I'm getting at?
>>721670726You need to stop using logic on a fanbase that is full of cultists who believe Nintendo to be their friend.
We will never have people like reggie and iwata in charge againThe video game industry got too big for the worst It's now the new Hollywood
>>721666106homosexual koopa
>>721669495>infringing on our property is ok when the government does it>better keep bullying Pocketpair just because
>>721666365>>721671132
>>721671098Good, Reggie was terrible.
>>721671098This is a hard truth, but it's something nobody wants to accept.
>>721666365>why are you dumb gaijins hiring women to be ceos
>>721666403>>721666365christ...
>>721668993Because psycho cunts who look like her are the ones *writing* the Hollywood propaganda.
>>721666053REGGIE IS COMING BACK LET'S GO
>>721671098>>721671314>it's something nobody wants to accept.I did. Which is why I've quit Nintendo about midway through the Switch.
>>721670349>>721666954
>>721670589so what's the point here? more people would rather have a switch, as you can see how many people bought one
Roblox
>>721671597>2 CEO’sSo is she just a figurehead while satoru’s running the show, or is it reversed? I still don’t get it
>>721666365The first female president at Nintendo, that is great news!
>>721670726>You can look up Circana's data on the UScircana doesn't show sales numbers anymore>>721671007samefag
>>721666947I know a few people that did tooit ain't easy
>>721671647What's your point? Do you care about playing games at all? Because all you seem to care about are sales figures. Maybe /biz/ is more your speed.
>>721671739Hopefully the former.
>>721671742Seeeeeething lol
>>721668776Switch 2 feels like the Switch pro like how the ps5 is the ps4 pro pro
>>721669495This is fucking based.Trump's a sleazy rapist shyster, but this admin has produced some absolute gold.
>>721671739as far as I'm aware CEO is a higher position
>>721669334Yeah but he was funny tho
>>721671739>>721671820I'd argue it'll probably be a case of Pritchard running the show for the most part and Shibata being there to the yank the chain if she goes full retard.Shibata's probably acting more as an intermediary between the board and NoJ, while Pritchard's the new face of the company to address their consumers.
>>721671802>What's your point?that power doesn't matter. in no point I've said anything about the system being better or worse for two sales, I'm stating that even if it's the weakest one it's still the one that is desired the most
>>721666252They rape kids.
>>721666954>satoru shibata
>>721671739The woman is the president of NoA, the jap is the CEO of NoA. He's also hosted some PAL region directs years ago so hopefully he will come back for those.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzM4JComHT0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-9rugKCbA4
>>721669334>revisionism.It's not revisionism. Everyone loved Reggie in the day because they liked the character he presented at E3 shows. Few people knew or cared what actual effect he had on the business.
>>721672115>I like the way Atawi thinks!
>>721671875anon circana literally doesn't disclose sale numbers anymore. they haven't for a long time, even when it was still NPD
>>721666053Fired just like Jim Ryan.
>>721669334Those games were miles better than wonder
>>721672085But what would you rather play games on? a top of the line gaming pc? or a Switch 2?
>>721666365Her first and only games console was almost certainly the Wii, maybe played some brain age on the DS
>>721666464HEY LIL DONNIE
>>721672302a switch 2 (or anything portable really) since I like portability
>>721672364And you got about 2 hours of that portability before you have to go home and put it on charge.
>>721667745well, is he the one who stops being scummy and also is going to settle the lawsuit?
>>721672115>>721672198
>>721669685>>721669168>>721669161>>721669239>>721669334>>721669417>>721669494>>721669784Yeah but all hiccups aside, however major, the thing that truly does set him apart is that by all accounts Iwata was genuinely an all-around great person. Which is such a rarity especially for the very top of multimillion corporations. That bit is not rose-tinted glasses revisionism. Not only because of his reportedly incredible game-saving skills or le I'm a gamer thing which could be dismissed as a scripted speech gimmick, or even his insight (I highly recommend everyone watch the previously unreleased video interview only recently published on YouTube, in which he unironically predicts the current state and woes of game development, and Nintendo's answer to it, with uncanny clarity), but also in his personal interactions and most notably in the way he played his professional role within the company, like establishing more direct listening to employees and perhaps most famously, taking full responsibility for the underperforming, and instead of firing other people, slashing his salary in half (we're talking about an industry where CEOs regularly fail upward and just move to another company to earn even more). Not to be taken for granted, at all. It's just evident he actually cared on a human level.
>>721671896Get used to it. Tech advancement in the game dev sector has completely plateaued. The only significant development in the past 10 years has been the widespread adoption of SSDs. Nvidia tried to pull the wool over peoples' eyes with dogshit like fake resolutions and raytracing, but then fake AI fooled enough normies that they don't even have to pretend graphics cards are getting better anymore.
>>721666850so? one of my best friends mastered in Psychiatry and she never used it.
>>721667702It takes a physically painful amount of effort to even replicate this kind of smile with zero emotion in the eyes. There's seriously something wrong with people who smile like that. And I'M the one with autism here, so it's not that.
>>721672308Fucking kek, now I'm thinking of pic related from Adventure Time Distant Lands but with her/Perlman swapped with the left while Trump is Finn and Vance is Jake.
>>721666853that wand just looks like a dildo
So long gay Bowser
>>721666252largely yes that is what they arereggie is directly responsible for xenoblade chronicles being painfully british, NoE picked it up because NoA (reggie) is a retard who thought it was too JRPG-y
>>721672093That's trump actually
>>721670043
SO LONG GAY DOUGLATHcan we give furukawa the boot while we're at it
>>721666403I thought this guy got shot or something
>>721666259>reggie says he’s leaving and Doug’s replacing him>Doug says Reggie was great, and that he’s a gamer too just like the rest of us>Comes on one (1) Nintendo direct in 2019 to do the obvious bowser joke while reminding us he’s president>disappears until 2025>switch 2 pricing fiasco happens>he does the whole corpo “yknow games are pretty cheap” speech except with some pizazz>instead he says the analyze replayability, quality, etc. to price a game>leaves
>>721666403>>721666365Is that a...woman?!?!?!? AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYDADY NINTENDO NOOOOOO
>>721673089Kek very apt, very apt
>>721666053tell me the pros of this situation
>>721673259You haven't seen the last of it.
>>721671896the difference is that the switch 2 has games
>>721673041and bill clinton
>>721666365she's gonna destroy nintendo from the inside out is she. there's gonna be censorships galore.
>>721673404Nah, he just fucked of age whores.
>>721671742>circana doesn't show sales numbers anymoreThey don't but you can look up any new outlet and see they've given us Switch sales >https://gamingbolt.com/nintendo-switch-2-breaks-launch-month-sales-records-in-the-us-with-1-6-million-units-sold
>>721673515he's also on Epstein's list
>>721667174Actually made me kek
>>721670043don't forget there is also a mayor bowser in washington
>>721673732The Koopa Kabal...
why a female? DEI for hire?
>>721673041Even Biden didn't want the list released, Amerikek.
>>721667745He's the guy that launched the Hotel Dusk and Another Code sequels in Europe when NOA didn't want to. We're gonna be fine.
>>721666252wonder who the european version is. I remember that Russian president was some Indian.
>>721666442you can't censor what was never there, expect more sanitized slop in the future
>>721666954we are so fucking back https://youtu.be/MI-9smisEhY
>>721666954>>721667004Oh nice. He used to host our Directs back in the day.>>721672115I vaguely recall Iwata talking with him on some Direct and they made a joke about being the two Satorus.
>>721666053SO LONG GAY BOWSER
>>721666365It's over
>>721672575The same with a laptop? The fuck you on about.
>>721672672>(I highly recommend everyone watch the previously unreleased video interview only recently published on YouTube, in which he unironically predicts the current state and woes of game development, and Nintendo's answer to it, with uncanny clarity)Link to this?
>>721673029>That's just mingin'...I think this was for the best.
>>721666954Satoru Shibata has been the NoE CEO for the longest time. This is good. He made sure we got Layton vs Wright and Xenoblade 2/3 localized
overall this could be the right move. I'm pretty sure Doug is taking the fall for going with the Greedy EA strategy for Switch 2 and that now backfiring evidently when looking at sales.Let's be real. If Nintendo had the same launch but with Switch 1 esque pricing, people wouldn't start making all those "Nintendo sucks now" videos. More of /v/ would've liked them too.Just a bit worrying the primary CEO is a femoid but it's not always the same as pushing for feminism and Collective Shout style policies.
>>721674291After you've done your 2 hours of mobile gaming and now you have to sit down and wait for your system to charge. You still have that same dogshit performance in docked mode, while every other system vastly outperforms yours.
>>721674838>wait for it to charge
What are the extremely high chances the Xbox CEO becomes Nintendo’s CEO because everyone knows children love ghoulsVGAYP
>>721675050Extremely low, Xbox won't exist in a decade
>>721666053Gay Bowser is the first Nintendo President to get fired this quickly from Nintendo. Its funny. No other Nintendo President has done this before.
>>721674390Here!!https://youtu.be/e5CgnTYm-ew?si=Zkr3jYVaB7uxRqyQ
>>721671739She, Bowser before her, and Reggie before him were all the NoA Chief Operating Officers, the COOs, while the NoA CEO has been some Japanese dude that stays in the background and I can't be arsed to look up. This isn't any sort of restructuring of how they've operated for the past 30 years, it's just new people in the same old positions.
The only thing I want is to Aonuma and Fujibayashi to get the boot and hand over the Zelda franchise to Koizumi before he retires.
>>721673029He was right, xenoblade is a 1-2 mil seller, not a major release
>>721674527>IT'S MINGING IT'S FOOKIN MINGINGmy favorite shulk line unironically
>>721672115He never left :')
>>721669230>the biggest maritime disaster since the Titanic>Costa Concordia>ConcordSony sisters... we can't stop losing...
>>721666365>>721666365>>721666403>>721666464ngl, I think she is kind of cute
>>721666053>Mario Cart Worlds underperformeded>Donki Kong Bananaz floppeded>Bowser leavedIts not going well for Nintendo...
>>721677320mama mia pizzeria....
>>721677814>>721677320Ah yes, Nintendoom since 1889
>>721666365Hope you're all ready for even more niggers in your Nintendo games now.
>>721672307Her only games were the best ones? Locking in for kino. I've had enough of the dog shit that began in 2017. Wii 3 here we come!
>>721678676>>721666954
So long gay boswer Yeah people said it already but it’s funny
>>721666053>next NoA president is Devon PritchardDO NORT REDEEM SAAR
>>721677320Why are Snoys so infantile?
>>721666053Wow that was a whole lot of nothingWho is this new retard
I'd much rather have a woman who's been with the company for 2+ decades than an industry plant who previously led fucking EA be the NoA president not gonna lie lads
>>721666252Reggie was a MASSIVE PR Crutch for Nintendo during some of its darkest years. It turns out having someone who is connected with the product who can sell a product on its merits instead of a suit bean counter who doesn't know dick about what his company even makes can work wonders if restoring consumer confidence after you have a Pii-U or a 3DS level disaster. Both of which Reggie sailed and came out making Nintendo look better than it went into it.
>>721666365>>721666403>Treehouse goilet oh it's so over
Unless this leads to improved localization or less censorship, it is irrelevant news to me.
>>721679229so what you are saying is nintendo needs their own vtuber to win people overi said this as a joke but as i was typing i realized it would honestly work
>>721667004Inazumabros...What other games were localized first in Europe without passing through America? This could mean more Japanese games leaving Japan
>>721679760>Nintendo creates it's own Vtuber>Also reinforces their draconian laws on posting gameplay to Youtube so literally no one but themselves can monetize itwould be kino tbqhwyfam
>>721670254ip grabber
the twitter troons are very excited about his woman replacement. nintendobros gonna be eating good real soon KEK
>>721681145There is also a jap now to tard wrangler her. It unironically should be better now
>>721666252In the best case scenario they manage managers. In the worst case they buy monogram hand towels, shit in their private bathrooms, and trade business cards with other executives.
>>721669751He is the one who signs off on the transgender presenter for their directs. He is the guy who signs off on hiring a muslim kid to play mario in the english dub.
>>721666053>even the evil guy is leaving KEK
>>721671897All of the governments tweets are archived forever to.Years down the line someone's gonna find that shit and wonder what happened.
>>721666365>>721666403it's so fuck over Nintendo fans
>>721679760They have oneit's Korone
>>721676230Pretty sure the last NoA CEO is Kimishima
The real Q is, why is he stepping down?Backlash over the game cards?Switch 2 sales slowing down?
>>721682091The theory is that there's a sexual harassment lawsuit happening behind the scenes that names him directly.
No sticky? This is…video games!!
>>721682091switch 2 is a disaster, despite all the "fastest selling!" bullshit. this is just typical marketing, they do it with all the triple A slop games too. you later hear how the entire studio got shut down despite all the shills saying how great the sales were.
>>721667292>>721668041>>721667824You dipshits have never even touched any XB game let alone 2 or 3. XB3 still had a lot of fanservice, even it wasn't as overt, which by the way XB2's fanservice is very exaggerated, Pyra and Mythra's outfits aren't even that revealed, at no more than other JRPG characters>>72167654Oh fuck off. Just because it doesn't sell as well as a Mario or Pokemon doesn't mean they aren't major Nintendo releases. Most Nintendo franchises can't break those numbers, it does as well as Metroid and Pikmin do.
>>721681145>someone is president>another is ceohow does this even make sense
>>721682156fucking Peach she wasn't supposed to say anything!
>>721682302She is the puppet of the japanese guy. Hope you understand now.
>>721682302She is a quota hire that is a figurehead and will do press tours. He is the one who makes the final decisions.
>>721666282Reminder: the guy in the picture is against Israel, despite being Jewish himself. I have never been disappointed by anyone in my life
>>721682302CEO is the head of the company
>>721682013Thats SEGAs bitch.
>got rid of BowserFinally>only to be replaced with this >>721666365Fuck
>>721683472She was on the company longer than Browser and there is a jap to tard wrangler her. I honestly don't think it can be worse than a bald guy from EA.
>>721683561>there is a jap to tard wrangler herThis little detail is important. Cautiously optimistic now.
>>721683615It's this guy apparently
>>721683745wtf based
>>721671098>Nintendo does shady shit before iwata and reggie>Retards: ....>Nintendo does shady shit during iwata and reggie>Retards: ....>Nintendo does shady shit after iwata dies and reggie leaves>Retards: NOOOOO THE MAGIC IS GONE THEY'D NEVER BE PULLING THIS SHIT UNDER BASED REGGIE AND IWATA
>>721682301Tl;dr
>>721682091Sales I think. Circana comes out next week and its a month away from the quarter end. If American sales are bad, it's easy to say "We got rid of the other guy and will do a new "Strategic initiative" everything will be OK." The fact that they are promoting the girl but also having a tard wrangler kind of reminds me of what happened when Jim Ryan got let go after the GAAS and ABK merger fuck ups.
>>721666053so long gay Bowser
>>721688376So this is basically a soft confirmation that the switch 2 isn’t doing well. Can’t say i’m surprised, but why not do the same jap-side since they’re the main guys handling operations
>>721667339Kathleen Kennedy evil.
eric won
>>721688376>>721689549I'm sorry but you're out of luck on that one >>721669930
>>721687778You have to remember that the Before and a good portion of the During were before the internet became the enshittified ocean of retards it is now.>inb4 erm well it was bad then tooYou know damn well it's worse now.
>>721689549Realistically, it's probably doing fine, just not to the ever-increasing standards that shareholders hold sales figures to. It's selling like crack in Japan, but that's because Sony completely gambled away their presence there and Xbox has never moved the needle there. The west is very much a different story; to what degree isn't entirely certain yet, but the absurd stock a lot of stores still have is pretty damning.
Bowser handled things pretty well to be fair. Just don’t let him speak anything stupid in public
honestly one of the most boring Nintendo CEOs by far. absolutely no charisma.
>>721689549>third parties finally take a Nintendo platform seriously after collectively leaving shit tons of money on the table with the outrageously successful previous one>some big devs are even pushing for day-and-date releases for new games, or ASAP if they can't manage it>Nintendo inadvertently rugpulls them with a platform that struggles after launchThis would be the funniest goddamn karma for both Nintendo and third parties.
>>721677313>>721666365Mommy!
>>721666053KWAB
>>721668481>Just what you'd expect from a former chair of The Pokemon Company.Are you retarded? He's been at Nintendo since 1994. All the did at TPC was be an outside director for Nintendo
>>721666053And in his place, Kathleen Kenedy a la Nintendont will take his place LMAO
>>721666365switchpoopbros...it's over...
>>721674954Yeah, you have to play it in docked mode while you wait for it to charge before you can play it portably again.The biggest problem of the Switch (as well as the Steam Deck and other handhelds of this nature) Is that it's portability is ultimately pointless for both its very short battery life as well its bulkiness. You need a peripheral case to travel with it, while a DS or PSP you could just put in your pocket.The idea of the Switch is neat, but its hybrid system status severely compromises its potential on both ends.
SO LONG GAY BOSWER!
>>721668471Pray tell, what did NoA do to get this ire?
