I don't know much about this guy, but the fact that he's been promoted from within, and has worked with the company behind Pokemon seems like it would be relevant experience. Hopefully this guy won't have the extreme tunnel vision other execs in the industry tend to have.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

Well he seems to realize that putting out the Wii U wasn't a very good move on Nintendo's part.
However it seems under him that Nintendo is about to make the same mistake with the NX.
I honestly think he should consider delaying the release and instead have the company focus on a powerhouse of a console that can compete with the next consoles by Microsoft and Sony and brings the third party publishers back.

It would mean the Wii U would have to be supported longer but seeing as just releasing a new console within a year would probably kill it and leave a lot of buyers rather angry as the console they spend money on is so quickly dropped it may be better.
