Nintendo of America has announced that it has hired Doug Bowser as the new Vice President of Global Business Planning.
Yes, it’s not lost on anyone that he has the same name as Bowser, King Koopa and menace to the Mushroom Kingdom. In announcing Doug’s posting Nintendo of America even made fun of it themselves.
“Doug Bowser is an outstanding addition to our Nintendo team, as he brings a deep blend of both consumer package goods and video game sales experience,” said Moffitt. “I know he will work tirelessly with our internal and external partners to ensure the broad Nintendo product lineup of hardware, software and accessories are strongly represented throughout U.S. retail points of distribution.”
Doug will oversee sales, in-store marketing, retail strategy and retail marking. He’s in charge of making more money for Nintendo in stores essentially.
No doubt Doug is already counting the amount of Bowser jokes he’s going to get at work everyday.
Here’s a picture of the guy, as you can see he’s definitely not that Bowser.
See how much you did, or didn't play things.
