Okay, hope he has a happy retirement. Coming off the Switch, he must be rolling in money from bonuses.

Devon Pritchard? Did they even try to find someone with a Nintendo based name?
Sir_Encerwal
It is amazing how bad the Covid years warped my perception of time. I was thinking to myself that he has only been there a few years before confirming that it was indeed, 6, since 2019.
TheGreatBenjie
Didn’t he only recently replace Reggie and he’s already retiring?
Toon_Lucario
Hope the next person does better with consumer relations

Does anyone know of her past in the company? Has she always just been a suit?
biscuitsalsa
Still is so funny that they had a Bowser running Nintendo
weallfloatdownhere7
And to think they barely took advantage of the meme potential of his name

I’m pretty disappointed that we don’t have a Doug Bowser Jr taking over here
COHERENCE_CROQUETTE
What a nothingburger of a CEO. He had one shot, one opportunity, and he completely fumbled his name. He’ll be remembered as a footnote, like “Hey, remember that really short period in which the actual CEO of actual Nintendo of America was literally called Bowser? And he did nothing at all!”
ShiftyShaymin
Met him when he was still VP of Sales and Marketing in Vegas. Sweetest dude, actually chatted with me for a while. Gave a big hug at the end.

So long boss bowser

“He will be succeeded by Devon Pritchard, a 19-year veteran of the video game industry and long-standing member of the NOA leadership team.”
Misread this at first and thought they had hired a 19-year old to take his place. Was thinking “Damn, *that’s* a bold move”
Jad3nCkast
Ok… but where is bowser jr?
IFGarrett
Hopefully, the company will stop being so damn greedy, but probably not.

What do I do now
Ansemmy
Wow, anyways.

Remember when everyone thought this guy was gonna ruin Nintendo cause he used to work for EA
Spooky_Blob
Now to see if the new one will make things better
PoshDemon
Bro I feel like he was only CEO for like a year

I wish he was as present as Reggie. I feel like we barely knew him
stabzmcgee
Don’t think this dude did anything good

Hope the new guy has more presence. I think you’d be forgiven for not realizing it’s been 7 years with Doug when he’s hardly been seen the same way Reggie has

Bring Reggie back.

Missed opportunity to bring back king Reggie.

Satoru Shibata is going to be NOA’s CEO, too. Which is interesting.
woppatown
We want Reggie back.
Kadexe
Not a lot to say about Bowser. We’d make jokes about his name, but this guy had so little publicity that we barely know what kind of leader he was.

So long King Bowser!

I miss Reggie😢
MukimukiMaster
Let’s hope the nasty practices he brought with him from EA aslo end with his departure.

Where’s Steve Koopa-Kid when you need him?

Wow this is pretty surprising. Hope Devon does a gold job. Rooting for her!
DXbreakitdown
Couldn’t find a Jonathan Kong or a Victoria Kirby or a Kenneth Megaman to replace him?

Doug Bowser had a difficult hill to climb following in the footsteps of Reggie. He always came across passionate, if even a bit disingenuous in his interviews. All the best with retirement Bowser!

So long gay bowser! But for real though I hope this lady is more presenting then Doug, I feel like we barely seen him when he was Nintendo present you know?

Don’t let the door hit ya Dougie

I’m out of the loop, but was he responsible for the price hikes and all the lawsuits?
edit: Bowser publicly justified and communicated the hikes as value-driven, but ultimate responsibility lies with Nintendo’s board and CEO Shuntaro Furukawa
