Reggie promoted to president

[James McGeachie]

Of Nintendo of America that is! Unfortunately he's not taking Iwata's place as president of the whole company yet, but I still think this is cool. Since he's came to Nintendo he's changed a lot of things with their marketing and he just has a way of making everything sound like a million times more awesome than it actually is. Let's hope this doesn't mean he'll be doing less interviews and stuff now though.

He'd previously helped turn the fortunes of Vh1 around, so Nintendo brought him in for a similar purpose.

I always thought Reggie looked a little intimidating. Creepy. But he's a great man, I just don't understand all the obsessive Reggie Fans... But none-the-less he is a good man for Nintendo, and his promotion is just great! Lets hope he kicks more ass and takes more names now!

Your not too far away from the truth. Actually his name is Galen Tyrol and he served aboard the Battlestar Galactica when the 12 Colonies were attacked. And as you may recall they headed for Earth and now we know they made it.

Here's a picture what he looked like in his uniform in his young years:

 

 

 

 

Really cool, that Reggie is made President. I have no solid reason but I think he deserves that promotion judging by his outstanding speeches at E³ and everywhere else.

Does anyone know who the other guy was? George Harrison?

 

Nintendo of America today announced that former president Tatsumi Kimishima will be taking on a new role as chairman of the board and chief executive officer, clearing up a significant promotion for the subsidiary's charismatic spokesperson, Reggie Fils-Aime. The former executive vice president of sales and marketing becomes the president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America effectively immediately, the company announced in an official release on Thursday.

 

In addition, NOA's Mike Fukada was promoted was promoted from senior vice president of Business Development to executive vice president of Business development.

 

As president of NOA, Fils-Aime will lead the company's daily operations and continue to manage the company's sales and marketing division as it plans for the launch of the Wii console.

 

"Around the world, Nintendo DS has been steadily drawing more people in the video game category," said Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co. Ltd. "With the upcoming introduction of Wii, along with the strength of this new leadership team and strong executives already in place, Nintendo will continue to dramatically change the way consumers of all ages interact with their video game console on a daily basis."

 

With today's promotion, Reggie now has the executive power to take millions of more names while simultaneously kicking asses.

Reggie is great for Nintendo, I'm sure he'll do a good job. If he doesn't.. then what are we gonna do? He is powerful and we are weak.
