Nintendo reports that the Wii is spurring some promotions within Nintendo. Fanboy idol Reginald "Reggie" Fils-Aime is the new president of Nintendo of America, with Tatsumi Kimishima moving on to a CEO and chairman-of-the-board position. Says current Nintendo president Satoru Iwata:

With the upcoming introduction of Wii, along with the strength of this new leadership team and strong executives already in place, Nintendo will continue to dramatically change the way consumers of all ages interact with their video game console on a daily basis.

The orc-like Fils-Aime has been with Nintendo a mere three years, and will continue to oversee his current sales and marketing divisions, as well as day-to-day Nintendo operations, with an iron fist. Many congratulations, Reginald. May you crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their wiimen. Eliza Gauger
