Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is retiring

One of the faces of Nintendo is stepping down and leaving some Honda-sized shoes to fill. Reggie Fils-Aime announced that he is leaving his position as president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America. His last day is April 15, so tax day will be extra sad this year.

“Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever,” Fils-Aime said. “It’s a part that is filled with gratitude — for the incredibly talented people I’ve worked with, for the opportunity to represent such a wonderful brand, and most of all, to feel like a member of the world’s most positive and enduring gamer community. As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humor, this is not ‘game over’ for me, but instead ‘leveling up’ to more time with my wife, family, and friends.”
