Hopefully he doesn't drive handhelds to the ground in favor of F2P money pits on phones, only a specific niche of the Nintendo fanbase wants those, the rest don't and want their full, priced, 1st party and 3rd party experiences on Nintendo handhelds. Also he needs to bring parties in with the NX.

While Mr. Kimishima-san has been primarily been involved in the world of banking and managerial matters, he seems to understand that running a gaming company is more than just going by numbers.

However, I wouldn't expect him to stay as CEO for that long- he's only been asked to be available for one year.

I'm not gonna say that Kimishima is gonna do something wrong, but things aren't looking pretty for the future of Nintendo Confused . But he could also surpass my expectations and be a good president. Let's hope Nintendo continues to be an excellent gaming company Smile

Excellent gaming companies don't put out systems like the Virtual Boy, The Gamecube and the WiiU Wink

Indeed; a little too late to suddenly be missing him and trying to act like they weren't a bunch of caustic critics during his tenure.


They're were caustic critics postmortem.
