How will this effect Nintendo as a whole? Clearly there will be better communication between Japan and NoA, but what will this mean?


It could quite possibly may make things worse considering the different outlooks the Japanese have in regards to buisness compared to Americans. 

Read the article. It's a Japanese person replacing a Japanese person. Reggie remains reggie.

Worse as in not moving - stagnant. Not inciting positive change could make things worse as there will still be that cultural barrier with no apparent changes on the way.

You have no understanding of American and Japanese business by making such a remark. Keep the juvenile snidey comments to yourself please and keep this thread mature, k?

Considering the differences in the business cultures between the two markets and how the Wii U is grossly underperforming, how on earth can more-of-the-same be a good move?


then tell me how more of the same will be good for the other consoles? every console has more of the same. it was always like that, there are new and old franchises every generation. better graphics, etc. the difference between Nintendo and Xbox, PS is more of the "same" still sells better then every sony ip. Typical Mazty comment.


This isn't about other consoles so lets not digress okay? Keep the fallacious arguments to yourself ;) I think fallacious arguments seem to be your forte if I remeber correctly...

you would love that to be true

Not even sure why you comment in Nintendo threads considering it is pretty obvious you don't like Nintendo.

I have no bias with regard to gaming companies

I'm not entirely sure what this entails, but hopefully we never see an Operation Rainfall situation again.

I don't quite understand how Iwata becoming NoA CEO translates to more localizations.


NoA seemed like they had a problem with the Operation Rainfall games with even NoE doing all the work and releasing them in EU. So I assume if Iwata's around, there should be a bigger effort to bring localized games than just leaving dumb NoA people to their own decisions. He even said that they're going to bring key Japanese titles to the West, and Nintendo is the one publishing Bravely Default over here.

True. Operation Rainfall really did its job. Proud to have supported it. (Though I only did grab Xenoblade. I should really get Last story sometime.)

It really did not have the effect you think it did.

Guy can hope. Though I do believe that without the campaign the games would not have sold nearly as much.

I guess, but you can't really tell with how little each sold in the first place (I would like to believe Xenoblade sold nearly 400k in NA, but that's not true).
