Nintendo’s Bill Trinen Competing in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U at Evo 2015
Over the years, the Evolution Championship Series has managed to garner the attention of a number of interesting personalities, from American Idol champion Taylor Hicks in 2013 to rumors of Jamie Lee Curtis and her son attending the event this year. These stories generally get some play and fizzle out, but a recent announcement by a notable Nintendo executive is sure to turn some heads.
According to a tweet sent out earlier this morning, Nintendo senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen will be making the trip to Las Vegas to compete at Evo 2015. And not in just any game either, but one he’s likely intimately familiar with: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He’s currently seeded into Pool D46 and conveniently has a bye in the first round.
Many of you may recognize Trinen (picture above) as the regular translator for Shigeru Miyamoto, but he also works at the Nintendo Treehouse on important localization projects and acts as a regular presenter during Nintendo Direct presentations.
But this isn’t the first time a foward-facing Nintendo figure has stepped up to publicly throw down in Smash. During the company’s World Championships event at E3 2015, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé answered the challenge of Liquid’s Juan “Hungrybox” Debiedma and participated in a special exhibition that saw the professional competitor walk away the victor.
Will Trinen have more success than Fils-Aimé? It obviously wouldn’t take much, but it should still be great to follow along and see how he fares at the largest fighting game tournament in the world.
Evo 2015 is scheduled for July 17-19 in Las Vegas, Nevada. More details can be found through the event’s official website.
