Hmph. Reggie takes another name.

I didn't know you could leave the Jedi Council.

Meh, seems like she was just a random executive. I don't think most people have even heard of her and her resignation won't mean much.

Reggie has apparently digested Kaigler into the Force.

OK, somebody photoshop her head onto Obi-Wan Kenobi pronto.

HAI GUYZ

Incidentally, the first footage I have of her is she playing The Force Unleashed (or trying to).

I wonder who will take over the IGN 'Nintendo Minute' answers then. They should badger Reggie again.

I hope she does well wherever she goes, but is there a reason we should really care about this?  At this point, I'm considering every public figure in Nintendo of America to just be a figurehead since they just follow whatever lead Nintendo of Japan sets.

This is particularly sad, but terribly true.

I think they can also veto bringing a title to the US, though, but that's about it.

Treehouse is nice, but they don't do original development, do they?  I think the Treehouse needs a PR person so we hear more from them.

Yea, we need another rep that says 'wait til E3'

I'll send my resume now.

"We're working on it"

Kaplan left?

"We haven't announced anything yet. The way we at Nintendo do things is, you know, when we have a personnel announcement to make, we will make it."

I read that Cassamassina had dinner with Kaplan and she said she is planning to return to Video Games.

She is. And she even started her own company to make them but she has to wait a certain amount of time because of a "No Competition Clause" she signed when she went to work for Nintendo. It was an agreement that upon her departure she had to wait a certain amount of time before entering the same field as a competitor.

I saw her at the last E3 meeting with other companies.

tsk... tsk..  and she tried so hard to never let Super Mario Kart come to V.C.  ...
