Time Exclusive: "Nintendo’s New President on the Icon’s Future" (Summary)

[The DanMan]

Just saw this article: http://time.com/4129171/nintendo-tatsumi-kimishima/

The actual new info doesn't come in until halfway through. From my read-through, Kimishima seems pretty confident in himself (“I feel that I have a firm understanding of this company,”). However, he admits that they've done a poor job of communicating about Miitomo, and notes that there's still challenges on the horizon.

As for NX, Kimishima assures us that Nintendo has learned from the Wii U, and that they're "not building the next version of Wii or Wii U,” and that “[NX] is something unique and different. It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal.” He also intends to personally see the company through beyond the NX launch (implying he expects he'll be re-elected as the President once his initial 1-year term has finished).

As the article closes, he shares something Yamauchi taught him during his time at the Pokemon Company:

"the importance of staying within one’s means. “Or ‘Don’t try to be too big for your boots,'” he says, laughing once again and adding, “I have tried to keep this in mind in the management of Nintendo"

All in all, there's not a lot of new stuff; just some interesting tidbits about Tatsumi Kimishima.

Glad to know deeper about this man's feedback, seems carefully honest whatever he does about. Pretty good in terms of forging and caring relationship business, and also admits that Nintendo needs to expand its own advertising in order to reach better communication with the entire world.
