GameDaily Biz is reporting that Nintendo of America's Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison—rumored to be departing the company alongside NoA employees Perrin Kaplan and Beth Llewelyn—has announced his "early retirement" to employees today. Nintendo has yet to officially confirm the departure.

Harrison, a 15-year vet at Nintendo, was reportedly one of the employees who would opt out of relocating to the company's new California digs in an effort to be closer to Silicon Valley partners and Bay Area third-party publishers.
