There’s a difference between marketing talk, boosting your company at the expense of your competitors, and saying things that are easily proven wrong.
Show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced that PAX West 2023 will have a keynote speaker famous within the gaming industry.
Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling. The dude is a true hustler.
Recent stats show that VR will be niche for years to come. Here's why VR gaming shouldn't be afraid to be niche.
My wife who generally hates games has taken over my PS5 for last couple days to play PSVR2 when she is home . Now I have to go get another PS5 at least .
From VGC: "Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé has cautioned fans not to expect further releases in the Earthbound series in the near future.
Mother – or Earthbound, as it’s known in the West – saw its third instalment released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan over 15 years ago, but despite persistent requests from fan groups it has never received an official English release.
The Earthbound series received renewed attention in February after Nintendo announced that both Earthbound and its predecessor Earthbound Beginnings (aka Mother) would be added to Switch Online’s SNES and NES apps."
He would happily suggest buying a NFT of Ness though. Thank God he is a semi-retired mouthpiece.
He feels confident in saying anything because even one extra customer is a bonus.
He was on the news saying this stuff, but i believe you may be overestimating the intelligence of the average news watcher.
Just mentioning it on the news gets extra sales. Boasting the console does not hurt Nintendo at all.
Not knowing when to stop talking should be second nature when selling a product.
"and saying things that are easily proven wrong"
If only that actually mattered. We have this thing in the US called the Presidential Debate. I don't think i need to explain that anymore to US residents, lol.
When do ANY PR guys know when to stop talking? How is this at all new?
Is that not his job?
I wish the games industry would stop being so preoccupied with corporate competition and brand loyalty. Such childish nonsense. When did it stop being about creativity and fun?
Games are heading to shallow blockbuster territory without even having had a single sort of "high" period; like film had German Expressionism, New Wave, Surrealism, Dogme 95.
i also think he talks too much. but he's just a sales guy he only thinks about sales numbers no matter the lies he puts into it.
