It's a new era at Nintendo of America. Reggie has left the building and the appropriately-named Doug Bowser is now officially at the helm as the president. To celebrate his first day in this role, @thetruebowser shared a photo of his new office on Twitter.
We're not entirely sure what's going on, though, as it appears someone else has already taken charge:
In all seriousness, Doug Bowser has been shadowing Reggie since 2015, so we're sure he'll do a fantastic job. If you would like to find out more about the new president, be sure to check out our extensive feature about him.
And while you're here, feel free to welcome Bowser to his new role in the comments below.

The fact his first pic in the new office is not him having found the Master Sword is a severely missed opportunity.
Out with the old and in with the new. Not to say Reggie didn't do a great job, but I'm already looking forward to a fresh face. Although I'm waiting for E3 to see what kind of presence he brings to the show. Reggie has been one of the better company presidents when it comes to public interaction and I'm hoping Bowser keeps it up when it comes to transparency with the consumer.
Why is there all this indoor lava in the NOA office?
@Gravitron - The 2020 budget is looking to raise the entry for fire bars.
Bad news everyone... I just checked the jokes vault and we only have 2 to 3 weeks worth of "Bowser's running Nintendo" jokes left. I hope this guy can awkwardly monologue into a camera soon, or we'll have to start reusing the same Bowser jokes over and over again, until there's no more funny left in them.
HAIL, LORD BOWSER! Leader of the Koopa Kingdom and president of NOA!
Guess NoA needs to find some lava
So glad he's getting used to it!
More like Bowser Jr. is in charge from the picture. lol
They need a Bowsette reference in there somewhere.
That looks handmade. Props to the talented creator!
Welcome to your new office, Bowser. 😁
It's "bring your child to work" day
Can't wait to get to know this guy. He seems really cool. Hope he makes a cool entrance of some kind at e3.
The Nintendo of America building now has a new nickname: 8-8. Bowser's world/ stage.
@LaytonPuzzle27 It's probably Baby Bowser, seeing as the only other plushies in the photo are Bowser. It also ties in with promoting Yoshi's Crafted World because of the material it's made of.
Do you think Bowsette is his drag name?
@invictus4000
8-8 ?
Eight Eight (English) or Hachi Hachi (Japanese) ? 😆
Bowser becoming NOA President is truly a day to remember.
For a moment, I was going to make a comment about how he must have faced endless jokes about his name throughout most of his life, but, if he ended up working at Nintendo, he has to like it. There is no way you could go work for Nintendo with the name "Bowser" and not like the connection.
I really have to wonder what his thoughts were about a certain meme I happen to like though. XD
The fact he wasn’t named Mario Bowser is a missed opportunity.
Also it’s honestly very sad to see Reggie’s office all packed up and empty now... seeing those photos from before where it was loaded up and he was packing up and now it being empty is legit sad. The end of an era!
@ChromaticDracula I'm sure that guy exists but finding him in any search engine has gotta be impossible

Does Doug Bowser have a son, Bowser Jr.?
Completely unrelated from his name: that chair is a Herman Miller Mira and it is sure to be comfortable AF!
I still can't get over the fact a guy named Bowser is now running Nintendo of America. Hoping for the best for Doug and his new position.
It’s their house now! Congratulations! ... Bowser Jr, you silly thing! Don’t you go Scar on the king! I wonder what is upon us for the future of Nintendo!
Well, you know the drill guys.
Come on Bowser give us Mother 3!
Welcome to the Bowser era!
Such an adorable pic.
Btw, i just wonder.
Why do a lot of peoples really want Mother 3 for Nintendo Switch ?
That's GBA game long time ago without English version, right ?
Already like him more than Reggie.
That is Great, now he needs to do some fire ball videos
Bowser is a better father than letting his kid work stressful jobs right from the morning!
I will never get over the fact that his name is actually Bowser. Like, never. Not even when people are telling me the joke wore off seven years ago and he’s not the president anymore.
HE. IS. CALLED. BOWSER.
AND. HE’S. PRESIDENT. OF. NINTENDO.
OF. AMERICA.
They just need someone by the name of Koopa running the main gig from from Japan and the fiery turtle’s reign of terror shall truly be underway.
I love this picture. Good luck to Mr Bowser.
Also, i would love one of those knitted Bowser Jrs!
I have to ask. Did Nintendo hire him solely because his last name was affiliated with our favorite Koopa King?
I sure he'll do fine. Congratulations on the promotion
Hail the mighty Bowza 🤘🤘🤘
I really hope he uses the fortress and castle themes as background music when he works.
I have to admit he's growing on me. He seemed like an empty sales guy/exec, but his willingness to jump into the memes leaves me encouraged. If he can demonstrate through E3 that he's "with the fans" in the Reggie+Iwata+Miyamoto sense of the word, I think he'll be fine. If so that still leaves Furukawa as the only Nintendo exec I'm not so thrilled about. I really don't know how he squeaked by the board. He seems to have completely different objectives and priorities, and a very different culture, than the rest of Nintendo.
Heheh, their are people thinking the plush on the chair is Bowser and not Bowser Jr.
@IceEarthGuard That would be Baby Bowser from the Yoshi's Island series. Bowser Jr. has that mask and more teeth thing.
@YoshiAngemon I knew he had a mask, but I just thought this one didn't. Plus he did said in the tweet "Looks like someone beat me to the new office!" which really says it got to be Bowser Jr.
“What shall we do today Papa?”
Just like the real Bowser, the Doug version is setting up shop in one room of the castle and biding his time until the construction of his drawbridge and princess cell.
Doug looks mighty fine, lol.
