Doug Bowser

I just think that's in a great moment of transition transformation.

I was lucky enough to sit on a panel with, uh, what I called the Bowser, the scouser in me, which was Doug Bowser and Peter Moore, the Liverpudlian, uh, and myself, we're all ex executives from different platforms.

It was good to be on stage together because none of us have either an ax to grind or a boss to perform for.

And we could just say what was on our mind, our vision of the future.

Oh, no.

Even got Doug Bowser's attention with the open eyes emoji.

Whoa.

Oh, wow.

Very good.

He's still in it with the rest of us, which is fun.

Do you think Doug Bowser's playing this game tonight?

I don't know about tonight, but I think he'll be playing it eventually.

So yeah, we'll see.

Weezman says, have you seen Dean's upcoming GamesBeat panel with Sean Layden, Peter Moore, and Doug Bowser about AI and deals? What would you ask those three? What does deals mean, I wonder? Yeah,

but he's so good at putting together those panels.

Oh, God, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I've met Peter Moore at one of the other GamesBeat events that we did.

He got Doug Bowser.

That's good.

Good on him getting Doug

But I certainly don't think it's impossible either.

I mean, I mean, counterpoint, I can also bring up, you know, Doug Bowser and Reggie Fils-Aimé.

I mean, they both retired.

Reggie especially retired very early on when, you know, the company was seeing, you know, tremendous success.

You know that a lot of the teams in there have people who are veterans who really care about video games, the way video games are designed, the way that they innovate between titles, X, Y, and Z.

And there are people like Doug Bowser and other leads at Nintendo who obviously care about money.

You can tell by the way they release products and games and charts for different things and Nintendo and all, whatever.

I digress.

I love that he's just talking about all this stuff because you know, I've never heard of him or that branch of Nintendo before this week and now I'm like, "What's Bill got to say?"

Look, I knew about this branch of Nintendo and I mentioned how Doug Bowser kind of like planted a flag specifically in Brazil.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

We, we should shoot our shot and try to get Doug to come on the podcast.

I think we should.

So there's your Doug Bowser alert.

Um, so this is a game that's on Switch 2.

Oh, no.

They a- did you know Nintendo's, uh, new company president is literally, surname is Bowser?

Yes, it is Doug Bowser, isn't it?

Yeah.

He's the president and G- vice president and GM of Nintendo in Latin America.

And N- under Doug Bowser, uh, Nintendo really made a big push in South America and Latin America, and Spanish-speaking countries in general, and, uh, that continues post the Doug Bowser administration.

But interesting thing came up in an interview there.

Uh, I believe it was Universo Nintendo, uh, had the, had the interview.
