Nintendo execs to leave Nintendo?

90% of Nintendo of America staff decide not to relocate and accept severance.

It's been rumoured by GameInformer that three of Nintendo's leading US executives will not be following the company when it relocates to either San Francisco or New York.

It's believed that 90% of Nintendo of America's Sales and Marketing department has decided to stay put, taking a severance and departing from the company. Game Informer sources indicate that included in the 90% are Senior Director of Public Relations Beth Llewelyn; Vice President, Marking and Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan; and Senior Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison.

It's thought that the executives will remain with the company until E3 finishes in July. Their departure would leave only Chairman and CEO Tatsumi Kimishima and President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime.

At this time there has been no official comment from Nintendo.
