Chris Pranger, one of Nintendo localisation staff, has been fired because of Podcasts.

Chris Pranger, from Nintendo of America, was fired for appearing on the small podcast called Part Time Gamers.

On August 3rd, Part Time Gamers posted their interview with Pranger. Chris Pranger was speaking about the Nintendo Treehouse, where the company translates and localizes software from Japanese to other languages. Nintendo, like other Japanese video game companies, prohibits it's staff from speaking to the public about it's inner workings, unless given approval from their communications teams in both USA and Japan

Even though he defended the Wii U (Which has sold more than the Xbox One) and how passionate Masahiro Sakurai can be and that he didn't give away any releases of private information about Nintendo upcoming releases. He was sacked by Nintendo of America.

But most importantly, all the best Chris Pranger. Even though you do not work for the big N anymore, you can find or make a carrer someone else.
