Where have you been for the last two E3s? Wii U had such little focus this year it's obvious the company is done with it.
Honestly, this is a very conservative move. It is also a very logical move considering how good his resume is here.
He lead Pokemon Company which till now still maintain one if not the strongest gaming IP staying strong.
He also hold NoA during Gamecube and Gameboy Advance era which shows how good he is as America at that time is the biggest market for both GBA and Gamecube.
He also stays longer in America which can help on communicating to the worldwide market and bringing Nintendo into more world wide market rather than being too focused on Japan.
He also had long experience working in Sanwa Bank which would allow him to more conscious on taking business moves.
The only thing i really hope won't happen is him forcing himself to do Direct here. Direct should be done by people who are actually really close to gaming development team. I would not want to see him doing something he is not suited at all as his face here is.......sadly kinda like Yamauchi which of course looks kinda like yakuza lol.

I'm super excited for Nintendo. What a great choice! I don't think there is an advantage to Nintendo hiring youth for a CEO. Nintendo needs experience and wisdom right now instead of energy and excitement. Kimishima's experience with Pokemon is very important. I think experience with the Pokemon franchise business model is perfect for Nintendo's future. Nintendo's choice points that Nintendo is more interested with casual gamers and Nintendo fans than hardcore games.

Meanwhile, at Activision.
Eric Hirshberg: So everyone, we received a call of Kimishima, right now, he asked us to publish all of our games, including Star Wars: Battlefront on the Wii U
Staff team: Nah, just ignore him, we aren't going to work with them.
Eric Hirshberg: It's true, it's not like Ninjas were crossing on our houses right now

Wow, people sure love to make assumptions about people they know nothing about, where have I seen that happen before....? Is it hard for people to be happy?
It's just change that is hard to cope with. I'm sure everyone will be over it soon.

Just a heads up, Tatsumi Kimishima's president position wasn't the only thing announced. Shigeru Miyamoto is now Creative Fellow and Genyo Takeda is now Technology Fellow. This is quite logical as Miyamoto created quite a few iconic Nintendo IPs, while Takeda was one of the reasons why the Wii sold so well Stateside.

Wait, did i read that right "Miyamoto is now Creative Fellow", dude, i respect Miyamoto, his work is amazing and it changed the perceptive of how many gamers should be right now, but, amazing as he is, if he has the same mentality he had with Sticker Star, by changing completely the game into a linear mess, with a plot out straight from a New Super Mario Bros game, then we have problems, and Splatoon was a remarkable hit on the Wii U, and that's one of the few games developed by EAD where Miyamoto was silent this time.
So, his influence is good, the way how he creates things is pretty phenomenal, but i'm worried about anything he can do the poor Paper Mario, he is now handled by Alpha Dream (Paper Jam), so i have confidence that they will do a great job.
So... Yakuza 6 for NX?yes the yakuza is taking over nintendo and gonna whip their asses back into shape!
I'm curious to see what he'll bring to the table. Considering he's worked in the NA side of things, he isn't the worst choice for a promotion. However, since nearly nobody knows of him, we'll all have to see what comes of Iwata's successor and where he decides to take the company. I really do hope it's in a better direction though, Nintendo has really been dropping the ball as of late.
Besides, he'll probably have better English skills since he has worked here, so there's less of a language barrier between the business end of things and the fans.

I'm surprised that he was actually NoA president for FOUR years before Reggie. Then again, it was the early 2000's and I think more people were focused on the games and NOT who the CEO/President/whoever was in charge of Nintendo at the time.
