Why is it that Nintendo chose someone who looks like a yakuza boss as a president for a children’s toy company? Can’t they choose someone who looks at least approachable like Iwata or Reggie?

Cause he knows how to get shit done. He doesn't need to be approachable.

He's a president, not a PR man. It's not his job to look approachable.

Iwata was nice and approachable, and he got us the four shittiest products Nintendo has ever made. Kimishima is putting Nintendo back on track.

Nintendo has been Yakuza since its Hanafuda days.

Kids are the target market of Nintendo’s console, the president is the FACE of Nintendo, PR skills and approachability is a must if you are the head figure of a company.

he's saving the company. Reggie is beta scum who follows orders

Reggie, Bill, and Miyamoto are plenty good enough for that. Nintendo has enough PR guys, at least for the west.

The Switch was planned out by Iwata before his death. It is not something Kimishima put together in two years' time. He's following plans made by Iwata.

Bullshit. Name another toy company where the president is the FACE of the company.

Iwata and Reggie looked approachable because of good marketing and internet memes.

>yakuza boss
He does not look like that to me.

>Japanese corporation
>Not run by Yakuza

At least they are honest

You WILL understand, motherfucker

This.

Valve

Lies.


See this guy? He saved Nintendo while not being a fucking yakuza

Found a picture of Nintendo's next president

How many kids who have played Mario do you think keep a record of what Nintendo presidents look like?

Yep, and he had a year and a half to fine-tune everything about it including the marketing. Under Iwata the Switch may have been marketed as more kiddy shit and may not have done as well as it's doing now.

>He saved Nintendo while not being a fucking yakuza
>not being a fucking yakuza
That's debatable. Probably didn't have direct ties, but this old man motherfucker had a lot of power in Kyoto. He was literally, at one time, the 13th richest person in Japan.

Now they just need to bring back Howard Lincoln for NoA and we're gold

>not being a fucking yakuza
Haha ok

>the president is the FACE of Nintendo
Well, not anymore. Looks like Koizumi is doing that for NoJ now.

Memes aside there were credible rumors floating around that the Yamauchi family had a hand in Kyoto Yakuza groups.

he looks like a japanese brick top

That’s just rumors

>Kids are the target market of Nintendo’s console
OH HO HO LADDIE

They know Iwata and Miyamoto though
