Nintendo of America President and CEO Doug Bowser retires by the end of the year after more than a decade in management positions in the company.
Bowser, who became president in 2019, leaves on December 31, 2025. Under his management, the company launched the successful Nintendo Switch 2 system and expanded to many entertainment events, including films and theme parks.
“One of my earliest video playing experiences was to play the arcade version of Donkey Kong,” Bowser said of the question of his departure.
“Since that time, all things Nintendo has continued to be a passion for both me and my family. Leading Nintendo of America has been the credit for a lifetime, and I am proud of what our team has achieved in both business results and the experiences we have created for consumers.”
Bowser is successful by veteran Nintendo from America Executive Devon Prichard.
“Now it’s time for the next generation of leadership, and Devon’s Track Record speaks for itself,” Bowser explained.
“She is a unique leader, and her promotion is a testimony to her strong performance and strategic contribution to the company’s growth. I have full confidence that she will guide the company to even greater heights.”
Satoru Shibata, Nintendo Managing Executive Officer and Corporate Director, will also join the Nintendo of America as CEO while containing his other roles.
