Nintendo gets a new president
Tatsumi Kimishima will retire in June and will be succeeded by Shuntaro Furukawa. He’s 46 years old and speaks fluent English. A quote from Furukawa “We will develop the company to its fullest. I will balance Nintendo’s traditions: originality and flexibility.”“I grew up playing the Famicom and come from that generation. Now as a member of management with Super Mario’s creator Shigeru Miyamoto, I have a lot of respect for him. On the other hand, with this new job that can’t just be it, so I expect to say what needs to be said to run the company.”
