"One of Nintendo's most recognizable names is stepping down. Today the company announced that the aptly named Doug Bowser, who took over as president of Nintendo of America from Reggie Fils-Aimé in 2019, will be retiring. He'll stay on until the end of the year - December 31st, to be precise - and will be replaced by Devon Pritchard, who currently serves as executive vice president of NoA."
""One of my earliest video game experiences was playing the arcade version of Donkey Kong," Bowser said in a statement. "Since that time, all things Nintendo have continued to be a passion for both me and my family. Leading Nintendo of America has been the honor of a lifetime, and I am proud of what our team has accomplished in both business results and the experiences we've created for consumers.""
Doug Bowser will retire as president of Nintendo of America on December 31 after six years in the role. He previously led sales and marketing and oversaw a dramatic expansion that included theme parks, feature films, and the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. Devon Pritchard, executive vice president of NoA and with the company since 2006, will replace Bowser. Satoru Shibata will be added as CEO of Nintendo's American arm while continuing as managing executive officer and corporate director at headquarters in Kyoto. Bowser described Nintendo as a lifelong passion and expressed pride in the team's business results and consumer experiences.
