News::Nintendo appoints Tatsumi Kimishima as president

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Earnings News Conference

After Satoru Iwata's passing, Nintendo has announced its new company president today -- and no, it's not the legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. Instead, the console maker has promoted Tatsumi Kimishima (above left), a name that's probably unfamiliar to most of the gaming populace. Until now he's been a managing director at Nintendo, overseeing the human resources division. Not the most exciting role, but since he joined the company in 2000 Kimishima has also been chief financial officer for the Pokemon Company, president of Pokemon USA, and president of Nintendo of America.
