Pritchard (bowsers successor) holds a doctorate of law from Gonzaga and a bachelors in biological sciences from Kansas state…Id speculate that Satoru Shibata will do more of the actual management given his continuing role as managing executive officer and corporate director at Nintendo co Ltd, his previous roles as president of Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Australia, and this new position at NOA concurrent with his NCL duties, but it’s really funny if unsurprising to me that Nintendo chose a fucking lawyer as their Chief operations officer.

You joke, but

Shigeru Miyamoto stated that “Kirby” was chosen partly in honor of American lawyer John Kirby, who defended Nintendo in the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. case

OK, so which of the Koopalings is next in line? My money’s on Ludwig!

Given my general distain for modern Nintendo, I’d have no qualms in using AI to generate a Succession parody using the Koopa Kids, if only I knew how… 😅

If they want a CEO with some balls, they’d choose Lemmy.

Good. Bowser knows his jig is up. Let’s see if Pritchard pulls a Reggie sometime soon.

Not likely at all, this restructuring was made to give NCL more control over NoA, Pritchard is there to run the ship, the new CEO of NoA, Satoru Shibata, is the one you should be looking at.

Never heard of him, but I’d like to research what he’s up to, especially since, based upon what you’re saying… something seems wrong in your eyes. I had some hope, also knowing that likely things would stay the same.

I guess Mario or Luigi jumped on his head twice already. Bowser knew the gig was up, and got out while he could

I was hoping the next CEO would be something like Walt Wario or something.

Devon Pritchard will take on the role. She currently serves as the Executive Vice President of Revenue, Marketing and Consumer Experience.

Profitability. That’s not reassuring.

Oh no someone with business and management experience takes on a business management role in a business that runs solely to acquire money. Nintendo‘s pricing policies are already maxed for profitability, anyway.
