Nintendo says no news on game streaming, would require a “very Nintendo approach”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
One of the more popular topics coming out of E3 is the idea of streaming games. Ubisoft’s CEO is on the record as having stated that he believes there will be one last console generation before streaming takes over. We’ve also seen both first and third-party companies explore that area in more recent years.
As for Nintendo, they’re taking a more conservative approach. While the Big N is aware of the talk surrounding streaming, nothing has been decided, according to Shinya Takahashi. The company would also “have to determine what is a very Nintendo approach to that if we were to ever do such a thing”.

Stephan Bole is Nintendo of Europe’s new president, Koji Miyake its new CEO
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Major management changes aren’t only happening at NCL, but at NoE today as well. As was previously announced, Satoru Shibata is retiring from his role as president of Nintendo of Europe today to join the company’s HQ back in Japan as part of its Board of Directors. Today, Shibata’s successors were finally announced.
Nintendo of Europe’s new president and COO is Stephan Bole. Between 2001 and 2015, Bole served as the managing director of Nintendo of France. He also was the senior managing director of corporate strategy (2009 – 2015) and senior managing director European subsidiaries and affiliates (2015 – 2018) for Nintendo of Europe.
Meanwhile, Koji Miyake is Nintendo of Europe’s new CEO. He previously served as the general manager of the human resources department at Nintendo in Japan. Both of them will be supported by new CFO Luciano Pereña (previously Nintendo of Spain) and CMO Laurent Fischer.
Stephan Bole had the following to say about Shibata’s departure and the new management structure:
“To say that Mr Shibata’s contributions have been instrumental to Nintendo’s European operations is an understatement. His efforts over the past 18 years have helped to bring Nintendo products to generations of players across Europe – and beyond. While he will be missed by many, I have full confidence that with our new structure we’ll be able to continue our mission of putting smiles on people’s faces through our unique gaming experiences.”
