Nintendo adds ex-Gearbox, Disney Infinity EP John Vignocchi to its developer and publisher relations team

A few days after announcing that he’s leaving Gearbox, John Vignocchi has reveled that he is joining Nintendo of America.

Vignocchi was the executive producer of Disney Infinity, the toys-to-life franchise that launched in 2013 and was then unceremoniously dumped by Disney in 2016. Vignocchi joined Gearbox in October 2018 to work on a new franchise, but he has left that post after just seven months for this opportunity to work at Nintendo.
