By way of MCV comes the news that Laurent Fischer now has the senior marketing job at Nintendo Europe previously occupied by Jim Merrick.

Fischer was previously marketing director at Nintendo France, where he oversaw the launch of Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Advance SP.

Along with the announcement, Nintendo Europe reconfirmed its intent to bring Revolution to market in that territory in 2006, contrary to recent speculation that it would not hit stores until 2007.
