Nintendo's Big Switch: Q&A With President Tatsumi Kimishima

It’s been a year since Tatsumi Kimishima became president of Nintendo Co., taking over the reins from the late Satoru Iwata. A former banker, Kimishima is now overseeing one of the biggest shifts in the company's history.

Switch, a new console that the Kyoto-based company will start selling in March, will be at the center of an entertainment web that will include mobile gaming, theme parks and merchandising. The device has a tablet-like display unit that connects with a TV but can also be taken out and about. Kimishima sat down with Bloomberg News in his first interview since introducing Switch to talk about this and more.
