Kaplan did not give an explicit reason for her departure, saying only, "I finally will be leaving Nintendo at the end of the year. Until then, I am focused on getting a great transition team in place and handling all of my normal responsibilities as well." It had been speculated that the marketing exec trio -- now all officially on course to retire -- would leave Nintendo after plans to relocate the company's PR headquarters from Washington to San Francisco and New York were revealed in May. But this theory remains pure speculation. Think about it: there are plenty of other circumstances that could have prompted Kaplan's resignation ... well, actually, we can only think of one.

I find it a little strange that these bigwigs are leaving thier company when it's doing better than it ever has before. I just find it just a bit... odd...
I wonder if my cousin-inlaw knows one of these bigwigs, he works at Nintendo in Redmond. I remember his son about 3 years back had all these GBA games with "Not For Resale" stickers on them. I wonder where he got those...:D
I was gonna hit him up to get me a Wii because there were none to be found. But I got lucky and a friend found one for me.

And heh, I'm glad I'm not the only person who ever picked up a creepy flirty vibe between her and Matt Cassamassina in all their interviews. Especially in video interviews you could see it in the body language.
Its part 2 of the strategy he laid out originally
1. Kick ass, Wii & DS at top of charts, check
2. Take Names, he takes their work, grows larger and more powerful
I guess the "make games" part comes next?
