About  Douglas Tronsgard

Tronsgard was the CEO of Next Level Games prior to Nintendo’s acquisition of the firm last year, supervising the creation of various Nintendo games like Mario Strikers Charged, Punch Out!!, and Luigi’s Mansion 3. Tronsgard expressed his gratitude to everyone who assisted him over his 20-year adventure in the video game industry in a statement released by VGC, with a particular shoutout to Nintendo for believing in him and Next Level Games.

After over 20 years in the Video Game Industry, I am happy to announce my retirement, I wanted to say ‘thank you’ to everyone who helped me on my journey to get here. A special thank you to Nintendo for believing in me and Next Level Games. It’s truly been my honour to be a part of NLG’s incredible history. I look forward to a new chapter in my life that should involve lots of travelling with my wife. :).

Following Tronsgard’s departure, Next Level Games will continue its work for Nintendo with Mario Strikers Battle League, which will be released later this year on the Nintendo Switch.

We wish Douglas Tronsgard the best of luck in his retirement and future undertakings.
