Sorry for your loss- from what I'd read, he was one of that rare breed of corporate heads who actually did care about his employees.
Yeah, I read that too. When the company was in trouble he allegedly cut his salary in half - not once but twice. He also seemed to genuinely love games.
Did you know that he wrote a new program code or something for Pokemon Gold/Silver himself so the Kanto region could fit on the Game Boy cart?
Tatsumi Kimishima has been named as the new Nintendo President. He was previously the president of Nintendo of America and President of The Pokémon Company.
A much better option than Genyo Takeda, who believed the Wii was too powerful of a console... Interesting that they've moved to a "proper" business man, rather than game developer, though.
It will be interesting to see how this changes the development of NX. Kimishima predicted that the Wii U would flop and was against the console from early development.
So this means we could see the NX pushed out faster or delayed, depending on Kimishima's opinion on it.
