Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime will retire and Doug Bowser has been named as the new President.
Nintendo officially announced the transition this afternoon. After 15 years at Nintendo of America, almost 13 of which were as president and COO, Fils-Aime will retire on April 15. Nintendo of America’s current SVP of sales and marketing, Doug Bowser, will then succeed Reggie as president.
“Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever,” said Fils-Aime. “It’s a part that is filled with gratitude – for the incredibly talented people I’ve worked with, for the opportunity to represent such a wonderful brand, and most of all, to feel like a member of the world’s most positive and enduring gamer community. As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humor, this is not ‘game over’ for me, but instead ‘leveling up’ to more time with my wife, family and friends.”
