Posted January 11, 2006 After providing us with more information than the rest of the Nintendo PR team together Jim Merrick did not only move away from NoE. 12 years providing support for the big N was enough for him. He now will spend more time on other interests. Source: GameInformer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 11, 2006 The whole Zelda TP revmote support did sound very convincing. If they wouldn't do it, everyone would at least wish for it somehow... I read NGC magazine for years and always liked them and their information was always trustfull so I still believe what they say is true! If it's related to Merrick leaving is another question... perhaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine he signed an NDA to try and prevent that sort of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2006 An NDA wouldn't work now. Yes it would, it's a legally binding document that you will not reveal company secrets to a competitor, even if you leave your current employer and go work elsewhere. You're probably thinking more along the lines of NDA's that games companies get beta testers to sign, whilst still legally binding, they're not quite as harsh as the punisments meted out for a corporate NDA.

Posted January 11, 2006 Even if he would not have signed a NDA I guess it would not help his career to spoil what Nintendo is up to. I mean other companys will surely notice and I doubt they want a PR guy which is too "talky"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2006 Hmm...very suprising i have to admit, personally i didnt like the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2006 I liked Jim Merrick. He was cool, always very open and did a decent job i believe. I'd be a shame to see him leave. I hope he's not involved with leaking the Zelda TP secrets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
