Keiner kann ihn bremsen, keiner macht ihm was vor. Immer der richtige Schuss, immer zur richtigen Zeit. Superfussball, Fairer Fussball. Er ist unser Torschützenkönig und Held.

I hope this guy will lead Nintendo in the right direction! From his track record it looks like he worked on some pretty important games. Also him living in America is a big plus for us western fans. Who knows, maybe he will finally fix the YouTube copyright BS that has been going on for the past couple of years. I really hope he will do great! Get your meme face on Kimishima, you have work to do!!



Two months is a long, but respectful wait for this announcement.

It's interesting to see the changes to the hierarchical structure and the new roles - particularly those advisory roles of Takeda and Miyamoto - and how that all works. Even more interesting will be how this new structure will influence how Nintendo moves forward.



Good luck to him.

I hope he can help lead Nintendo towards a good future.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

More business centered then Iwata, it will be interesting to see how he leads the company.

Interesting, would have figured they would go for someone younger. Hopefully being a former head of NoA gives him a better understanding of Western trends that he can apply as CEO.

He was involved in Metroid Prime? Interesting...


He was the President of NoA at the time, pre-Reggie, so he got credited as that. Well he is a suit so this could go either way.

So you're sayin' that we're gonna be getting a true Mario Party 9 for the NX? I'm in.



I'm now filled with determination.

hmm, his wikipedia profile says he likes golf so in his new big obligations and possible straining office hours I expect his golf yearn to turn into an obsession that translates into machinegun Mario Golf releases.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Reggie should've gotten the job. The Cranky Kong announcement still gives me chills till this day. A true leader
