Anybody optimistic for Nintendo now that they have a new president?
The xbots seem happy with their new direction and boss, do you think it'll be the same with Kimishima? Will there be any significant changes?
no mario
Yeah!

You need to comment on the post anon
Xbot reporting in
Phil saved the Xbone and brought a breath of life into everything
I hope Kimishima makes people understand as well
No. Kimishima is only a temporary president and he already stated he's continuing Iwata's faulty plans.
>>319260425
Not really. Nintendo is still an overly old-fashioned company, who refuse to see that the games climate has changed. Kimishima seems to be no different.
A new president is not what's going to save Nintendo. A radical restructuring might.

I need to see more of what he does before I can make any judgment.
If it's a return to the Yakuza days of no funny business, just cranking out top tier games with a friendly scoop of modern friendliness to third parties I think he has a good shot

He just did an interview time magazine
>I feel that I have a firm understanding of this company. I know how it operates. I know there are strings that can be leveraged, and that there are areas where improvement is required, and all this creates a great sense of responsibility. I feel responsible for every employee. I feel responsible for every shareholder. Perhaps most importantly I feel responsible for every single gamer.
It could be PR bullshit, but it sounds very hopeful

Iwata would say something similar, I think.
Nintendo's in good hands.

>Enter Kimishima, the plan’s silent executor. “He began doing what he does, persuasively working behind the scenes to align global Nintendo organizations,” recalls Fils-Aimé, explaining how Kimishima orchestrated complex interactions between president Iwata, the company CFO, its head of manufacturing and “other key folks” at Nintendo corporate to fix the problems. As a result, the Wii returned to shelves in sufficient numbers to deliver record-breaking holiday sales in the Americas in 2008 and 2009. For its fiscal year ending March 2010 alone, which included most of 2009, the company’s net sales exceeded $15 billion.
>“That is the way Mr. Kimishima works. He’s low profile, but very high efficiency,” says Fils-Aime. “And that’s what was recognized when in 2013 he was promoted to managing director for Nintendo globally and moved back to Japan.” Kimishima’s recollection of the story includes a telling moment where he says Iwata himself had significant doubts. “At one point even Mr. Iwata was saying, you know, he sort of whispered to me, ‘Mr. Kimishima, that’s impossible, that’s not a realistic goal.’ And I said ‘No, I think it is.’ And that’s again, saying it and repeating it and getting everyone onboard, that’s sort of the style that I adopted.'”
>>319262970
this guy said very similar things
you'll be okay nintendo fans
>>319263109
what a fucking boss
>>319260425
Iwata's set the plans in motion for the next couple of years. Hiroshima's real job is make sure sonyggers know their place.

You're right, sorry about that.

Not if they keep up their new policy of showing features they won't deliver. I've already vowed never to buy another nintendo game past FAST RACING NEO
>>319260425
please understand

He's saying the right things. Seems to have a nice grasp of the company.
Actions speak louder than words, of course.

>I've already vowed never to buy another nintendo game past FAST RACING NEO
That's not a Nintendo game though.
It's made by like, three Germans.
>>319263232
>As we speak Phil+Kimishima are discussing Master Chief in Smash
>>319262423
>the games climate has changed
Yeah. Let's usher in the modern gaming of doritos and dew while paying to play online!
>>319267817
>showing features they won't deliver
Did they ever actually show the breast slider in the west?
Amusing if they did.
>>319269509
Europe has fucking garbage tastes
Im from the UK im sorry
You know its bad when you have to play on the Xbone to escape the Dewritos and CoD
>>319269509
Yknow, Fifas bigger over here down to the fact that Football is actually bigger over here than America. Thats probably why it sells more. Not that in defending the game.
Could be wrong, but isnt America the place that obsesses over Call Of Duty? Plus, with its Doritos and Mountain Dew mlg shiz, i wouldnt call our taste the shittest
>>319269691
They are the best sellers in America too m8.

Funny thing is that in the same interview he said the reason he was skeptical about the WiiU was because the Wii sold 100m units so he thought it couldn't logically reach it.
He didn't see a problem with the hardware, name, or anything else, but the fact that it would be hard to live up to a success to the Wii.
>>319269656
If I recall, it was during E3
>>319268502
I'm guessing he means another game on a nintendo console

>>319272598
Oh, just Playstation existing at all due to that failed plan with Nintendo years ago. Nothing recent.
>>319272598
He thinks that Ninty and MS are buddies because he believed an April Fools article that said Reggie tried to buy back Banjo.
