Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima’s birthday is today. He is now 66 years old.
Kimishima’s time with Nintendo began in 2000, when he became the Pokémon Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In 2001, he was appointed the President of Pokémon USA Inc. He succeeded Hiroshi Yamauchi as Nintendo of America President in 2002 and was promoted to Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in 2006. The Nintendo of America President position was succeeded by Reggie Fils-Amie. Another promotion came about in April of 2013 when Kimishima became the Managing Director of Nintendo Co., Ltd and his Nintendo of America CEO position would be succeeded to Satoru Iwata as an additional role. When Iwata passed away in 2015, Kimishima would succeed him as President of Nintendo.
We wish Tatsumi Kimishima a very happy birthday!
Happy Birthday Chief!
3 day’s behind mine!

-||I destroyed an Xbox in your honour my Lord||-
original, 360 or one?
-||I don’t see the difference||-
i gave my friend my original xbox a couple years ago because he said he was going to turn it into a lynux computer, i guess he’s still working on it lol
As people walk down the street, their heads turn and watch this mysterious man who refers to himself as Nintendo Commander stomping on a square shaped box with a big green X on it. People are puzzled, shocked, and afraid that this man might need help. They run away quickly and try to pretend it never happened.
-||Man? I’m not a filthy human, you must have had that dream again boy||-
I’m sorry! Don’t stomp on me with your cybernetic leg!

Happy Birthday. Hopefully, he will lead Nintendo into a great direction. Looking forward to what happens.
also prince died :(
I know. And Chyna if you watched wrestling in the 90s. Sad.
i heard about that too, it’s a crazy world we live in
Oh right! So many feels from Prince being gone that I totally forgot about Poor Chyna passing away… yesterday? I found out about both deaths today.
God rest Prince.
Happy birthday. Bring good tidings with the NX.
So it’s 2016 and Kimishima turns 66 years old…
Anyone else getting a bad vive from this?
Yeah… But hey, if he has a passion for gaming and like what he does, he can do it as long as he wants!
I wasn’t talking about his age…
Hear me out.
What if…
What IF…
The NX is a codename for Nintendo Cross?
And I’m not making allusions to potential crossplay, or similar things.
Isn’t “NX” itself already the codename? A codename of a codename? You just blew my mind.
i for one welcome our new dark lord kimishima

lol Not to be a stickler but the pentagram is wrong. The satanic pentagram’s top triangles should be longer than the others, not the same size. That’s how you tell the difference between a real satanic worshiper & a fucking wannabe poser bitch.
kimishima transcends satanism
But there in lies another question. Which Satanism are we talking about here? The one that worships the actual Devil by carrying out human & animal sacrifices in his name or the atheistic Satanism that only uses Satan as a means to piss off religious people?
Oh & uses Satan as an allegory for the self & one’s own wants & desires.
ssf1991… I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me, but Kimishima didn’t succeeded the late Yamauchi as the President of Nintendo of America. He was evidently succeeded MINORU ARAKAWA. I hope if that info is accurate and corrected.
You’re right. Yamauchi was the president of all of Nintendo, not just NoA.
So while we get to celebrate the birthday of one person we’re aware of because of his celebrity status, as being the CEO of Nintendo guarantees of you, we also get to mourn the death of another person. I don’t know what I should be feeling! Mixed emotions be damned! D: R.I.P. Prince! T_T
Wait. Kimishima was in charge of NoA before Reggie!? That explains why before Reggie, NoA was awesome. Yep. I have even more faith in Kimishima now.
To be fair and honest, NoA was great up until 2010 or so, Reggie being there for at least 9 years by this point if my math and understanding are correct. Reggie USED to be cool, and we have him to thank for “My body is ready,” but now… He isn’t the same anymore, like something has… possessed him.
Erm, 9 years total, 4-5 years before things started going to shit, with him in the highest seat.
-||Not “something”, it’s called Xbot infection and must be cured||-
If it’s incurable… *cocks shotgun* It’s time to put Ol’ Yeller down.
Long life for him and many more years.
who care about his birthday, today is the Queen (of UK and common wealth) Elisabeth II’s birthday she is 90 years old and still kicking! She really does look like 90 I swear.
