So, Nintendo has a new president. (can't provide a link as a guest, but the PDF is on the Nintendo IR website)
Outside of this news, here are the interesting things:
Takeda became "Technology Fellow", lost the mention of his title as General Manager of Integrated Research & Development Division.
Miyamoto became "Creative Fellow", lost the mention of his title as General Manager of Entertainment Analysis & Development Division.
Shinya Takahashi, General Manager of Software Planning & Development Division, lost this title and became General Manager of Entertainment Planning & Development Division.
Given the name, "EPD" could be the mix of SPD and EAD, which mean that Nintendo has now integrated the two software divisions into one, EPD.
If this theory is right, Takahashi is the new big boss of the software in Nintendo, following not only Iwata as the GM of SPD but also Miyamoto as the GM of EAD.
The big question here is what happened to IRD? (the hardware) Who succeeds Takeda?
