Nintendo president Satoru Iwata will become the new acting Nintendo of America CEO. He will absorb these new responsibilities into his current role.
Iwata is replacing Tatsumi Kimishima, who will now assume the role of general manager within parent company Nintendo Co. Ltd. Meanwhile Reggie Fils-Aime – the president, COO and public face of the company in North America – will remain in his current position.
So what's the reason for the shake-up? Nintendo is saying that it's part of an effort to enhance its "organisational agility" and streamline its international business.
Poor Reggie
