The new Nintendo boss Bowser began working for Nintendo of America in 2015.

Following the news of Reggie Fils-Aime’s departure, Bowser gave a statement. “It has been my great fortune to work with and be mentored by Reggie for four years at Nintendo of America. And rest assured, we will continue to build on his work to evolve and expand our brand, furthering Nintendo’s global mission of creating smiles. There are millions more of those to come.” Fils-Aime’s departing words included the line, “Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever.”
