Remember the hilarity when Nintendo of America hired someone called Doug Bowser to be their Vice President of Sales last year? Ah, good times.
Joking aside, Doug has a pretty solid track record. As well as working at EA, he was previously employed by Procter & Gamble and has a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Utah.
Following the surprise departure of long-standing Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing Scott Moffitt from NOA last month, it would appear that Mr Bowser has been quietly promoted to the coveted position of Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Well, at least according to his LinkedIn profile.
With the Nintendo NX due to launch in March 2017, NOA will need a strong leader in place to make sure the marketing message hits home and that it drives strong sales. It's been decided that Bowser is that man.
Congratulations Doug, we wish you and your team of Koopa Kids the best of luck.

....Guess this means we're losing Mario sometime soon huh?
Bowser has always been a boss.
This could bode disaster for Jeanette Peach.
Cool, hopefully his son Bowser Jr. will follow his footsteps and work for Nintendo.
BOOOOOOWZZZZZAAAA
I hope the plaque on his office door says:
Bowser's Castle
(The princess is in another castle)
Loved the photo for this article. Lol
The joke possibilities with this are endless. But thats cool he got his degree from the U of U. I live right by it.
The House of Mario is having a horrible generation and Bowser is rising in its office ranks. Coincidence? I think not.
Expect NX to be a direct sequel to the Virtual Boy thanks to this guy.
I wish NoA had a fake position for King Bowser to fill. It would be kind of funny and they could have a lot of fun making up PR material with him.
@XCWarrior Mr. Bowser told higher ups at Nintendo that a new console is best revealed a month before launch therefore NX is not being announced until February 2017
@Raylax
Ha! That would be awesome!
Forget the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser has his sights set on something higher: Nintendomination! Much of the civilized gaming world is already in his grasp.
In other news, the amount of adds with Bowser in them is expected to increase, and the amount of adds with Mario in them is about to decrease.
LOL. XD
Bowzer will take down Mario soon or later.
Maybe there will be Bowzer games after Luigi's Mansion, Yoshi's Island, Super Princess Peach, Captain Toad and Wario Ware.
Lol: They probably chose him because of his name!
bowser ftw mario can screw off
For some incredible irony all we need now is for Nintendo Co. Ltd to hire someone with the surname Koopa.
Imagine someone with the name of Mario or Luigi joins the company now !
well Mario become CEO instead of Reggie?
I really want NoA to ake a joke about this in the next direct. They're sitting in a gold mine for jokes!
Well at least they'll get a castle out of it
@invictus4000 You mean as in... Wii U???? (I couldn't help myself)
@Capital70Q Haha! U of Wii U. Love it.
The Real 'Bowser's Inside Story.'
