I dunno, I think it's a good move. Nintendo have to make changes, if they keep going the way they are then they'll be irrelevant in 5 or so years.

Too late Nintendo

We are in a point where everything Nintendo does seems bad to people.
Chill out man, everything´s ok.

Well, who knows exactly why Nintendo's marketing has been so poor for the last several years? Perhaps Scott Moffitt's hands were tied by Nintendo higher-ups. Maybe he wasn't very good at this particular job. Hopefully this works out, and we see some kind of media presence from Nintendo in the future. It can only get better. I legit cannot remember the last time I saw a TV spot from Nintendo. It's all Sony, Sony, Sony, with a bit of MS up here in my part of Canadaland.

Sounds like a good just as long as the person(s) replacing him are a lot better at that job.

Can't help but agree. With the first sentence at least. I wouldn't say everything's ok, but they're not at a point of losing everything. Why are people still making a big deal of non-video game related Nintendo products like orchastrated concerts related to their franchises, like the Vans products, the theme parks, amiibo, etc.? Because Nintendo still has a presence in the popular culture as their IPs are still recognized world wide. They'll have to re-group and continue building the course of their plan to expand and create a new ecosystem that will allow their core business to grow again. If this is a move to revamp the structure of their business (which is related to marketing), more power to them.

Dont often agree with you... but in this I think your right.

Why? Their Wii U marketing was absolute garbage anyway. Whoever was in charge of that, deserves to leave the goddamn company for good.

I lol'd, you still should have came in with all guns blazing though! It's your right as a person with hands to hold guns in them!!

@OP though, I mean the guy is hardly doing a stellar job right now or for the past number of years, dishing out his duties to more heads could be a great thing especially if he has truly just pumped all his ideas into the Wii-U and they got that system absolutely nowhere. Also yeah other companies have done this practice before Nintendo isn't a pioneer in everything to the point that they're the only company who has ever restructured a position like that.
