Someone in Nintendo America’s HR department is delighted today. The company’s new Vice President of Sales is Bowser.
Alright, it’s not actually the fire-breathing lizard who’s been hassling Princess Peach and being beaten by Mario for decades. It’s a white guy in a suit called Doug Bowser.
Poor Doug used to work at Electronic Arts where his name was less chucklesome to colleagues. Now, even corporate is joking about in the press release about his new job:
Doug Bowser Brings Decades of Experience, Not Fire Breath, to New Role…
…effective today, Doug Bowser (no relation to the King Koopa and Mario’s longtime nemesis) will oversee a variety of sales-related functions, including Sales, In-store Merchandising, Retail Strategy and Retail Marketing.
We’re sure Doug is fully aware that kidnapping women and harassing janitorial staff is expressly forbidden in the Nintendo staff handbook.
