She had no control over that. It's not like she pushed the cancel Project Hammer, M -Rated action RPG, and Mother 4 button herself.

I mean that part kind of relies on her presenting as female, no? So it seems by your own account it was partly about her gender.
Some of you need to seriously get over your dislike of this person. It was just a press conference--she didn't ruin your precious Nintendo, she didn't make the Wii go more towards a casual focus, she was just the one who took your immature, juvenile crap over it--get a life already and move on.
She was really REALLY miscast in the role she had at Nintendo.
Some people are saying 'it's not her fault Nintendo had software draughts', but there's a reason she left her role in such a relatively short space of time.
Her knowledge and understanding of the industry was practically zero.

Worst Nintendo presser, yeah, but nothing has ever or likely will ever top Sony 2006.
I think it's up there but still a giant enemy crab and RIIIIDGE RACER does not beat Nintendo execs live on stage pantomiming with their Wiimotes as if they were playing the Mario theme on Wii Music with the help of some drummer and his imaginary, um, drums.
To accurately portray life as an adult in the U.S.A they would need to arm the kids with 9mm handguns (or the bb gun equivalent I guess?) so I can see why they would want to avoid that.

Yeah, it's a good point that the lineup this year looks like God got up off his mighty throne and personally handed us the rest of 2018 compared to 2008.
The whole reason I posted this was because I couldn't believe the concept of Kidzania and I couldn't believe she had gotten involved but I'll be damned if it doesn't seem like a good fit. Hell, she's a Harvard grad.
In the vid description I believe I read that she's not just the VP of marketing but also like the head of the American branch so hopefully soon us US Era parents will get our shot at the city of the future.

Yes, continue thinking she was the boogeywoman and it wasn't because of the harassment and utter vile commentary she received from mouthbreathing neckbeards angry over a disappointing E3.
Damn, no wonder she moved on to dealing with kids, much more maturity there than message board gamers have. I
I'm sure that's true as well. People can be horrible.
It's also true that Nintendo weren't happy with her work.
Personality matters, just like Don Mattrick had a horrible stage presence as a man. Both genders have good and bad stage personalities. It's not because she is a woman, it's because she's lame to listen to. Unless you want smiles brought to you while listening to a story about your broken wrist anyways. More power to you if so.
If you consider cities like Tokyo, Bangkok, Seoul, Dubai, Istanbul, Busan, Doha and Abu Dhabi as located in developing nations, sure, your numbers hold up.
You could really see it in that e3 interview they did on the floor one year.
What a legend.
Wouldn't be surprised if they both slept together.
Cammie will always invoke Nintendo e3 2008 memories. she was the face of that show and it was really, really bad. you can say that being a woman led to some of the hate and I believe that to be true, but if it was mr. caffeine, joel mchale or any other random person, they would be remembered as the headmaster of that tragedy as well. I will remember her name in 50 years and the only thing I will be able to recall will be that Wii Music scene. that's her legacy.
I'm glad she's done well for herself, making a comeback after being seen as such a negative by the gaming community. she ended up being the posterchild of the Wii being a casual gimmick. it's more bad timing than anything.

Why does Edtropolis mean these things? Why have you done this to me?edit: Don't google edtropolis at work :|
Cammie is also on the Boards of Directors of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=131715&p=irol-governance
These are high grade jawbreakers, my man. Sharp lift off with a soft, crunchy landing...
We had something like this when I was a kid. Someone brought it up on my Facebook feed within the last few years but I can't remember what it was called, it was in Minneapolis.
I never had a beef with her personally - I agree her presentational style didn't fit Nintendo at all, but also a good 80% (probably more) of the flak directed at her has entirely to do with her being a woman. I thought she was cute in that "mom calls every video game a Nintendo" sort of way. My favorite is when she stumbled over King Hippo's name and landed on Big Eddie.
Oh man, I love me some Red Robin. Gonna have to stop and pour one out for Cammie.

She mentions that in the TEDx vid! I wish I had one in my area because the food looks super good!
Lol I don't remember the Big Eddie thing but if they ever make another Punch Out I need him in there.
I really liked the Wii. It's one of my favorite systems. It's just so weird! Between all the amazing light gun games and crazy exclusives I really enjoyed it. Konami's eShop exclusives, Wii Sports and Resort, Wii Fit. All were cool experiences. Hell, if I felt like hooking up my Wii U my family would still be playing Resort.
My kids and I had a blast with Umbrella Chronicles!
I've got real affection for those conferences and Cammie's part in them. They were so dreadful, but over the span of years they've grown charming and quaint to me. I couldn't imagine her in today's Nintendo, but in that time and place it really did seem like she belonged there.

Yeah. It's an attraction like a SeaWorld or Legoland or something, I guess.
Cynthia Gordon, Nintendo's current Vice President of Corporate Affairs who joined the company after Cammie left, is Perrin Kaplan friend, and occupies one of Perrin's old function.
Agreed.
It's a good thing no one in this thread is showing a complete lack of self-awareness by mocking her for thinking sexism played a part while simultaneously being sexist.
Oh.
I remember seeing a park like this featured on NHK World and thinking it looked really cool. I hope the UK gets one.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Which, strangely, is exactly how I felt about Nintendo's 2008 E3.
