Congratz
I wish he could get Banjo-Kazooie back , then I can leave Microsoft who never worked on B-K games but instead slacked.
Congrats Kimishima. Your Apprentice will continue your legacy.
Love Kimi, wrote him in for US President. Hope he is pulling the strings behind the scenes with this new pres.
Tatsumi Kimishima Should have been the permanent president because during the Switch’s first year he was getting things done and was humble about it as he was talking about how Nintendo must do better and improve. Nintendo should seriously reconsider keep him as president!
You know who will never be on that list? EA’s Andrew Wilson, Blake Jorgensen and Activision’s Eric Hirshberg. They are the worst people to ever be involved in the gaming industry and literally ruining gaming for everyone!
I’d like to nominate the asshat in charge of AT&T in the last decade that should never be considered a top ten CEO. Then again, it’s probably most of the board at AT&T that are asshats & not just the one guy in charge. Same for EA and most of their board members. Greedy asshats.
Give the new guy a chance…
I look forward to Furukawa-san taking the reins . Kimishima did an amazing job after Iwata-san passed away. He would be proud
Congratulations Tatsumi Kimishima, your hard work has made you reach the top 10 CEO’s.
Not surprised AT&T is not on this list. They suck.
Oh wait. This is Japan, not the US. Still. Fuck AT&T.
What phone company do you prefer?
Before AT&T bought them, it was Bellsouth. Been stuck with them ever since. Of course, they were fine til they bought DirecTV & started forcing a data limit if you didn’t get the satellite+internet bundle.
wow, never even heard of Bellsouth.
Well they were only in a few states, after all. As their name implies, said few states were southern states; mostly in the southeast so I guess you could say they were Bellsoutheast. lol
lol, i see.
This list is so full of BS, the moment I saw the CEO of Cambell soup. Some CEO that should be on that list would be Salesforce and Tmobile
