Nintendo of America today has reared it’s ugly head in the face of the ever approaching June deadline, with their Sales and Marketing team taking the biggest blow. According to various sources over the internet, approximately 90% of the Sales and Marketing staff of NoA have been reluctant and decided to not make the move to the new offices in San Francisco or New York, leaving three key executives to leave the company. Who you ask?

Well read on to find out. Three key executives will be leaving Nintendo of America, including Senior Director of PR, Beth Llewelyn; VP of Marketing and Corporate Affairs, Perrin Kaplan; and Senior VP of Marketing and Corporate Communications, George Harrison. Although these three have yet to depart from the company, it is assumed that they will stay with the company until the end of this year’s newly redesigned E3 event.

It’s worth noting that now Nintendo will have only two major key marketing executives, including Chairman and CEO, Tatsumi Kimishima and fan favourite President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime. Don’t rejoice yet though, as it is still unknown if these employees will be making the move either.

Nintendo have yet to release an official statement on the matter.
