Rogue Games is announcing that Reggie Fils-Aimé, the former (and beloved) president of Nintendo of America, is joining the indie game publisher as a strategic adviser.

The Los Angeles-based company publishes mobile and PC games from small or mid-size indie game developers, but it is moving into the console market, and that’s why it needs advice from an expert like Fils-Aimé, who retired from Nintendo after 15 years in April 2019. As the new consoles come this fall from Sony and Microsoft, Rogue Games is expanding to console and PC gaming platforms from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.
