I wonder if this means the end of the WarioWare games.

They might be joining Wario Land in limbo.

Probably not considering they still sell well. Being a director is just being a steward, someone will always take up the reins

I'm not Sony or Microsoft fanboy if that is what you're accusing me of but that's like saying a punch in the gut is better than a kick in the groin. Losing their NoA CEO, losing creatives, stock prices freefalling. You can point out a company having a hard time without making it a competition or console war thing.

Losing a CEO, people leaving the company, and a drop in stock price are all normal things. You came across as a Sony/MS fanboy due to the vagueness of your last post.

In your last post you don't explain what the bad news is. That's the kind of behavior that I often see in trolls online.

Especially when all of those just have pretty mundane explanations. Bowser retired probably because his tenure, which included the pandemic, was pretty hectic, Abe just decided he wanted to be a teacher of game design which is admirable, and the stock price is due to stupid investors lighting their hair on fire over everything, hence why Nintendo is doing a stock buyback to correct that. Altogether the past year has been immensely successful for them
