TIME recently published an interview with Tatsumi Kimishima, the new president of Nintendo. Topics covered during the discussion included the NX, mobile, Wii U, how long he’ll be around, and more.

There was actually another piece about Kimishima accompanying the interview that went under the radar. The other TIME article went in-depth with history, covering his early career and leading up to the time when he joined Nintendo. There are also interesting quotes (including some from Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime) about how he helped out when Wii was facing shortages and the responsibility he feels towards gamers.

We’ve summarized TIME’s article below. I’d highly advise taking a look at the full article here as well.

Nintendo is gearing up to make an announcement very soon. Fans should keep an eye out for news sometime on Monday.

Damon Baker, Nintendo of America’s senior manager of licensing and marketing, shared a tease about what’s to come during Nintendo World Report’s podcast in support of Child’s Play. He said earlier today:

“Speaking of announcements, I wish I could tell you guys, but stay tuned for Monday. Monday there’s going to be something… something happening on Monday. It’s going to be big.”

Baker closed off his comments by stating: “Stay tuned, it’s going to be good.”

As far as what announcement is planned, it could be anything. Baker has been known for his involvement with indies so something in that area is one possibility. Maybe it’ll be news about the Smash Bros. presentation airing this month. Ultimately, we really don’t know!
