| - Don James is an American video game executive and currently serves as the executive vice president of operations for Nintendo of America. As a key member of the team led by Howard Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa, James played a critical role in the reintroduction of home video game consoles in North America after the Video Game Crash of 1983, when the Nintendo Entertainment System spawned a late-1980s rebirth of video games. After the collapse of the home video game industry in 1983-84, retailers and press widely agreed that "video game consoles are dead, and the computer game industry is a niche market which mass market retailers should ignore." Arakawa, Lincoln and James coordinated the introduction of the NES while struggling to overcome that skepticism, and ultimately paved the way for Nintendo (and, to a lesser extent, Sega and Atari) to rebuild the multibillion-dollar industry during the last half of the decade. James joined Nintendo of America in August 1981, and his employment with the company has now spanned over 30 years. He has been responsible for manufacturing, product development, and design for both coin-op and home games such as Tin Star. James participated in organizing and creating the Interactive Digital Software Association (later renamed the Entertainment Software Association) and was a leader in the creation of the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show for the video game industry, the largest event of its kind in the world. He still sits on the advisory committee of the ESA. He also helped to create the Entertainment Software Rating Board rating system and currently sits on the Advisory Committee for the ESRB. The ratings system was designed in response to concerns from the United States Congress about violence and other content in video games that was inappropriate for younger players. James has been a key figure in Nintendo's conservative approach to such mature game content. James has been a member of the board of directors of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences since the inception of the organization. (en)

Comme un membre clef de l'équipe menée par Howard Lincoln et Minoru Arakawa, James a joué un rôle critique dans la réintroduction des consoles de jeux vidéo en Amérique du Nord après le krach du jeu vidéo de 1983, quand la Nintendo Entertainment System a engendré une renaissance du jeu vidéo à la fin des années 1980. Après l'écroulement d'Atari, d'Intellivision et de Colecovision en 1983 et 1984, la presse a reconnu que « les consoles de jeu vidéo étaient mortes et que l'industrie de jeu électronique était un marché de niche que les détaillants de grand public devraient ignorer ». Arakawa, Lincoln et James ont coordonné la nouvelle naissance des consoles qui a dû surmonter ce scepticisme, frayant la voie pour Sega, Sony et Microsoft pour reconstruire un multi-milliard de dollar d'industrie. James a rejoint Nintendo of America en août 1981 et son emploi avec la société a maintenant recouvert plus de 25 ans. Il a été responsable de la fabrication, du développement de produits et de la conception tant pour des jeux de borne d'arcade que pour des jeux de console. James a participé à l'organisation et la création de l' (a rebaptisé plus tard l'ESA), et fut un leader dans la création de l'exposition commerciale E3, le plus grand événement dans le monde pour l'industrie du jeu vidéo. Il est toujours assis au Comité Consultatif de l'ESA. Il a aussi aidé à créer l'ESRB, l'organisation d'évaluation des jeux vidéo, et y est actuellement assis au Comité Consultatif. Le système d'évaluations a été conçu en réponse aux soucis du Congrès Américain de la Violence à propos du contenu dans les jeux vidéo qui était inopportun pour des joueurs plus jeunes. James a été un personnage clef dans l'approche conservatrice de Nintendo face à de tels contenus de jeu mûr. James a également été un membre du conseil d'administration de l'Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences depuis le commencement de l'organisation.
