Well I'm convinced.

Something tells me that his first decision as President of Nintendo is to order a huge celebration Party.

About time they chose a new CEO. Wish him the best of lucks.

He probably wont stop at one, and the parties will probably get worse and worse.

He was involved in Metroid Prime? Interesting...

- Starting September 16, Kimishima’s role as Nintendo Co. Ltd.’s representative director is effective.

- He is the company’s former Managing Director and current Nintendo Human Resources head

- Nintendo of America’s president from 2002 to 2006

- he worked at Sanwa Bank in Japan for nearly three decades

- He was also the Chief Financial Officer of the Pokemon Company

- the president of the company’s US arm

- The official statement lists Nintendo exec Shigeru Miyamoto as a “Creative Fellow,” while fellow exec Genyo Takeda is a “Technology Fellow.” Both remain senior managing directors as well as representative directors at the company.

I take that's your feedback of the party series, isn't it? :P

He currently lives in the US. Interesting. I guess it makes sense with him having been CEO of Nintendo of America for about ten years. Maybe he has a good understanding of the Western market. Best of luck to him.
