Mr. Baker began his storied career with Nintendo in 2006, eventually serving as NoA’s head of third party relations. Fans and observers will recognize him best from Nindie-related broadcasts for the North American market, including the August 2018 Nindies broadcast for the Switch. It was through Damon’s efforts that the Switch third party situation marked a major improvement from its predecessor, Wii U.
We wish Damon Baker best of luck in the next step of his career. Stay tuned to oprainfall as this develops.
