According to GameSpot, former Nintendo Europe and Capcom Europe president Shigeru Ota has acquired a position at mobile games publisher Digital Bridges. Current NoE president Satoru Shibata became Ota's replacement in August 2000.

What makes this somewhat interesing, whether it's coincidence or not, is that former Nintendo Europe executive of sales and marketing, David Gosen also left to join Digital Bridges in June of this year.
