Wow…talk about a shocker. I’m posting up her entire ‘goodbye’ which comes in as an IGN Minute piece…
I know how your readers like me to reveal news and surprises in my Nintendo Minutes, and I’d say that today definitely qualifies as my latest surprise.
It’s a fact of life that job and family often pull us in opposite directions. As regular readers of this feature know, this has proved particularly challenging for me, as I’ve spent the last two years commuting almost constantly between San Francisco, Seattle, New York and my home in New England. It has been a fantastic adventure, but the time has come where I need to choose one over the other … and I have to choose my family.
So, as a result, this will be the final “Minute” that I spend with you all, and my last day with Nintendo of America.
During my time at Nintendo I have developed friendships with so many wonderful people, from my co-workers to people I have interacted with along the way, including reporters, bloggers and video game fans like all of you. Those memories simply can’t be replaced, and I will take them with me. What I leave behind is a great team that will continue to tell the story of Nintendo’s pipeline of wonderful products.
There are hundreds of people I hope I will run across again – and trust that I will. So instead of considering this “game over,” I look at my choice as really just finishing one level … and moving on to the next.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to answer your questions and talk so directly with Nintendo’s fans. For now, my “Minute” is up.
No word on who is going to be taking Denise’s spot at the moment, but I know that it will not be a position easily filled.
It’s no secret round these parts that I really loved Denise, as she was a very down-to-earth person. She helped us out such a great deal in so many ways. I wish the best to Denise, and I hope that some day we get to bump into each other once again. Thanks to all that sent this in.
