Famitsu is reporting that Takao Yamane has joined PlatinumGames. Although he’s not a name that immediately comes to mind when thinking of Nintendo, he spent nearly thirty years with the company.
Yamane started out as vice president of Nintendo France SARL, which he held for eight years. After that he spent over eighteen years as Nintendo of Europe’s managing director of sales planning and strategy. He closed out his run as general manager of the licensing department at Nintendo Co., Ltd.
