I consider myself very fortunate to have worked at Nintendo, which is a fantastic business, and I will really miss the video game industry. I’d want to express my gratitude to all of my colleagues, clients, agencies, friends, and foes with whom I’ve worked over the years, and I wish everyone good health and continued success.
Please wish me well in my new workplace, which will be my local golf club, where I plan to focus on lowering my playing handicap.” Be careful, everyone,’ and I hope to cross paths with you again sometime.
