Granted his name is Doug Bowser but the only way this could have been more appropriate is if his wife was named Peach.

Better yet, he's having an affair with Mario the janitor's wife.

Well, his costume for the office x-mas party is already decided.

 

[DrownedAmmet]

That is the greatest thing that has ever happened

 

[Neverhoodian]

Well THAT name will be easy to remember. The jokes pretty much write themselves at this point.

Bowser previously worked at Electronic Arts. He joined the company in 2007 and most recently acted as the Vice President of Global Business Planning.

...This makes WAYYY too much sense out of context.

So I guess at this point Nintendo's sales strategies will involve Koopa invasions of all video game stores and abductions of blonde princesses. Go karting events at the VP's volcano castle will be scheduled on the weekends as a team building exercise for the Nintendo staff.

Huh. Does it count as low-hanging fruit if the fruit is already half-buried in the ground?

 

[LauriAJ]

The most awesome name of the year!

 

[FPLOON]

Does this mean Bowser would soon get his own video game like Peach did? If so, awesome... If not, then that just shows how much I know about VG VPs...

 

[CrystalShadow]

well, that's a bit more random than I would have expected...

I mean, at least wario beinv the face of nintendo's developer support program is just an amusing mascot choice...
This is just... Weird. XD

She'd probably live in another castle being stalked by a former employee of Bowser (an Italian plumber) and his brother, having to move every time they (the stalking plumber brothers) find her. Wait.... did I just figure out the truth behind Mario Brothers?
Meta....

At least he's true to his name and already made sure Mario and Luigi are not going to get in his way.

I bet he got the job because of his name. I mean, that's something to catch the eye.

Dude has quite the sense of humour. I like him already.

 

[Twintix]

Wait, Bowser is a legitimate name?! Or is it like that episode of The Simpsons where Homer changes his name to Max Powers?

...This is ridiculously awesome on so many levels. Oh my god, I can't stop grinning.

I haven't known of his existence for even 5 minutes and I already love this guy!

 

[TitanAura]

Doug Bowser: First order of business. I'm having my office installed with a fire pit and a hammer bridge.

 

[Aerosteam]

Haha! Really?! "Doug"? XD

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Well, now when their business practices get flak, they can just point their finger at Bowser.

 

[RJ 17]

I think the funniest part of this story is that he's the VP of Sales...it's just too perfect.

Office Worker: "As you can see by the chart, sales of the Wii U are in decline due to the lack of a new Zelda game."
Doug: "BWAAAAR!!!!" *incinerates the poor office worker with fire breath*

(note: the above lame joke was meant as nothing but a a lame joke and do not reflect actual sales numbers...of which I have no actual clue about )

 

[Scarim Coral]

I wonder how long til he become annoyed with the Mario/ Bowser names joke/ gags made against him or maybe never?

 

[thewatergamer]

Wait Bowser can be an actual name? Well I know what my kid is going to be called if I ever have one XD

Also maybe this could be a step in the right direction for Nintendo, sure he doesn't beat Mario very often but no denying, Bowser knows how to run things
