NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime is retiring

[Sweetley]

Reggie Fils-Aime, better known as the President of Nintendo Of America, is retiring. Various sources
are reporting this online. His replacement will be Doug Bowser (yes, that's the guys real name).

Nintendo posted a statement to this on Twitter:

To be honest, I'm sad about these news. Nintendo without Reggie seems so... Weird?

Guess that's the end of a era. And my body wasn't ready for this...

His body was ready for this.

So long Reggie. Now there will be memes about this.

sad to see Reggie go, since he was always such a treasure

between Iwata's unfortunate passing a few years back, and now this, it really feels like we've lost some notable pillars for the company


though on the other hand, congrats to Bowser for finally conquering Mario

also shout out to the person on staff who changed the banner in his honor

This brings a tear to my eye. You're a star and we'll miss you, Reggie.

He betrayed us by letting Bowser take over. /s

I hope Reggie enjoys his retirement. He's most certainly earned it at this point. I hope Doug Bowser can bring the same enthusiasm.

I just realized something...

Reggie has now enough time to go back and play Animal Crossing New Leaf on his Nintendo 3DS

Sorry not sorry

My body was not Reggie for this announcement. </3

I'm sad to see him leave - like LambaDelta said above, he was one of the pillars of the company and one of the many reasons I love Nintendo. I'm happy for him though, and wish him all the best in his retirement! Finally, after many years, he has time to go back and play Animal Crossing: New Leaf on his Nintendo 3DS.

Will be interesting to see how Doug Bowser steers the company.

Sad to see him go. Hopefully Doug Bowser can bring to the table something good.

That was from when he first came onboard with Nintendo, his first day on the job.

 

[Mink777]

His body was ready to.

(Idc if I copied someone. I didn't look at other replies so don't hate.)

Hope he will show us his AC Switch town.

Maybe he will do a YouTube Let's Play.

It's sad to see Reggie go, but I'm hopeful to see what Bowser brings to us!

On that note, no one can tell me that Bowser didn't overthrow Reggie. I mean, it's in character, right?

 

[Snowesque]

Awh, I will miss him. He is such a cool and down to earth guy. If he is picking Bowser (It is always going to be silly saying that.) to be his successor though, then that guy must be as cool if not cooler.
