MODERATORS
I worked at Nintendo of America for 7 years. This is a cute story, but not close to reality at all.
My American bosses would have weekly meetings with Japan. Firstly, there weren't Americans on staff in our sister department at Nintendo Japan. Secondly, since everything is done through translators, meetings were limited to specific talking points. Questions were constantly raised in both directions, but results didnt happen because of a loud American. Results came on the Japanese Business schedule, which just takes forever no matter what, and you have to be able to prove your idea is a good business decision from the start.
But back to the main story, do you really think NINTENDO would allow an American in Japan to make business decisions?
Do you think they still would have named consoles, "Wii U" or "New 3DS" if so? We were so loud about those..
