Kotaku announced that Nintendo is closing its branches in California and Toronto. About 100 employees were also dismissed.
In addition, according to Kotaku, the reason for the closure is that Nick Chavez, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, who announced that he would be joining Kentucky Fried Chicken, has resigned.
Devon Pritchard, Vice President of Commercial Affairs and Publisher Relations at Nintendo of America (NOA), will take over as interim head of Sales, Marketing and Communications following the departure of Nick Chavez.
