Simon Kemp takes over as NoE general manager
David Yarnton has finally been replaced (nooooo!) and Nintendo of Europe has a new general manager: Simon Kemp. Kemp does not come from a background of gaming companies, but instead worked in television and business marketing departments. Even still, he has the “Nintendo is the best” chit chat style down already:
“I’m extremely excited to be joining Nintendo UK at such a pivotal moment. With the launch of Wii U Nintendo is once again changing the way everyone will play games at home, it’s a fantastic time to be here. Nintendo UK also has an extremely talented team in place already and I am very much looking forward to leading & working with each and every one of them.” – Nintendo of Europe general manager Simon Kemp
I wonder how soon after they’re hired Nintendo teaches their employees the “changing the way everyone will play games” line…
