Satoru Shibata Stepping Down As President Of Nintendo Europe And Moving To NCL Board Of Directors

What’s going on here
What’s up with the Nintendo presidents both stepping down suddenly?
||Our grand design will be even grander now…||
I wonder who would be the next president of Nintendo of Europe?
Very interesting news nonetheless. I’ve never heard of Shibata before, but am interested in hearing from both him and Nintendo on the change. I figured Kimishima was going to be treated as an interim president, but did not expect this change so soon, for better or worse. I guess we’ll see what happens!
Wow, what a sudden move.
:o
I wonder if there are any similar plans for NOA (Reggie)…
… :/
Doesn’t look like it so far. So we’re still stuck with Reggie. :/
This is a shame. Shibata doesn’t make many appearances but I really like him.
