Nintendo recently reorganized their internal structure, forming a new Audit and Supervisory Committee and introducing a new Executive Officer system that includes Reggie Fils-Aime and Satoru Shibata. We understand a lot of news regarding corporate structure can be hard to understand, so we discussed this news on a recent episode of Nintendo Week, our Nintendo-themed podcast here at Gamnesia. Check out the discussion video above for our full thoughts, or keep reading below for a brief, brief summary.

Nintendo specifically hopes that this will help them adapt to a rapidly-changing games market, and the two regional Presidents’ promotions will likely help them keep a closer eye on the different countries in which they sell games. The Audit and Supervisory Committee, as Ben points out, should help them find and eliminate inefficiencies within the company, whether that means financial inefficiencies or hurdles in their everyday (or even long-term) operations. In all, it

should lead to a better Nintendo, even if we the fans can’t really tell what changes the new teams make. In particular, Alex hopes that this new structure will help Nintendo focus on incentivizing employees based on the products they make, rather than how long they’ve been with Nintendo.
