Bill Trinen is Senior Product Marketing Manager of Nintendo of America and long-term contributor to it's Treehouse localization team.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Trinen was interested in Japanese culture from a young age. He started studying Japanese in high school, majored in Japanese at Oregon university, and also lived in Tokyo's infamous Shibuya district while doing a year overseas at Aoyame Gakuin University. His work in translating bug reports for Ocarina of Time left Nintendo so impressed that they hired him as a full-time translator for Nintendo of America's Treehouse Division and also have him serve as Shigeru Miyamoto's English interpreter.
Like many other localizers in the gaming industry, Trinen enjoys taking certain creative liberties with and adding the occasional joke into the translation projects he heads. Which might have been nice and wholesome until Isabelle, during a Nintendo Treehouse Promo for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, announced she was just a puppy who liked life simple ... and Bill Trinen. This triggered a firestorm of butthurt from AC fans (i.e. furries in denial) who saw their dreams of Isabelle as their waifu shattered with extreme prejudice.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Bill Trinen only appeared in 8chanmania X, where he formed a tag team with Isabelle. The lovey-dovey couple did away with developer veterans Todd Howard and Gabe Newell, but could not make it past Ernest P. Worrell and the Korean Robocop.
