Goodbye Reggie.

After 15 years of service Reggie Fils-Aime is retiring from Nintendo of America & his position as President and COO.

“Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever. It’s a part that is filled with gratitude–for the incredibly talented people I’ve worked with, for the opportunity to represent such a wonderful brand, and most of all, to feel like a member of the world’s most positive and enduring gamer community. As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humour, this is not ‘game over’ for me, but instead ‘levelling up’ to more time with my wife, family and friends.”

Fils-Aime will be replaced by Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Doug Bowser who has been with Nintendo for the past 4 years.
