Topic: Nintendo To Reorganize Board, Branch Presidents Taking Larger Role

[supermario2k]

I was watching an episode of a show called Halt and Catch Fire where the engineers were pitching a game for sale to different companies. They had a meeting with a company that was clearly supposed to be Nintendo. In the episode they had the "American" executives in a closet office tucked away out of sight of the Japanese executives. The old boy from Texas who had dealt with Japanese companies before saw through this and went straight in to talk to the Japanese boys and got his game sold. I imagine that is how the real NOA operates sometimes, the "American" executives are really just the janitor walking around in a suit.

2DS was a purely Western joint for a while, they could have called that whatever they wanted. I actually like it myself but I don't speak for everyone.

NOA also barred the petite New 3DS entry to the US apart from a few willy nilly bundles here and there. I think the issues lie with the decisions that were made rather than not having the power to make decisions at all.

I think the 2DS is a logical name, but I don't know if NOA actually picked it.  Also, I'm unsure if not having the ~new~ 3DS was NOA's idea because the reason that they gave made so little actual sense.

I think it's time for a woman president.

For a Nintendo branch, I mean.

If its a women president it can't be Yamauchi's wife, or be taking an ungodly amount of money from Sony.
