Nintendo has transferred Shigeyuki Takahashi - President of the firm's research arm Nintendo Research - to a new role, Executive VP, Special Assignments, based in the US.
From the beginning of November, Takahashi will report to Chairman and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima from the firm's new offices in California. His remit will be to conduct special research initiatives and provide perspective to the sales and marketing department.
