Good. Now maybe they can hire someone who will focus on getting games here earlier than six months after the rest of the world.

From the article I linked to in the news post:
The news comes just over a month after Nintendo announced that Merrick would be leaving NoE to return to his native US. He was set to take on a new position at Nintendo of America - but it appears this is no longer the case.
It pays to read the whole article and not just the select quotes we post.

Well maybe that's an important enough blurb that you should have posted it. Several people will be confused just like me.

Well, all I can say is that it pays to check the full article beforehand - that is, after all, why we link to them in the first place.

I'm sorry you were confused, though.

Why not Sony?
Microsoft's across the road. He could still catch the same bus to work.

Send us Reggie!

Nintendo are fucked in Europe, it'll be just like World War 2 again. He'll arrive 75% of the way through the war, impregnate all our women, get us hooked on coke blow some shit up and return home to make movies about it.
